Renowned actor Kiefer Sutherland has joined the cast of Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film, Juror No. 2, marking the Hollywood icon’s final directorial project, the Hollywood Reporter reveals. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sutherland, known for his roles in 24 and Designated Survivor, will take on a pivotal role in the movie, which has been in development for 15 years. He joins an already impressive cast that includes Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, and Zoey Deutch.
Juror No. 2 revolves around Just in Kemp (played by Hoult), a devoted family man who finds himself serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial.
