‘Avengers’ star, Paul Bettany is set to star in David Gordon Green’s upcoming feature based on the scandal surrounding Cambridge Analytica.

The drama will centre on the consultant Christopher Wylie, who was hired by Cambridge Analytica CEO, Alexander Nix, played by Bettany, to help lead the data collection initiative for the company which made headlines for its harvesting of Facebook-derived personal data without consent for political advertising purposes.

Whilst Gordon Green is at the helm, Bettany teams up once again with Joe and Anthony Russo who will serve as producers. Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely – the Russo brothers go to scribes – will pen the script.
