A New Star-Cluster Film on the Horizon
Fans of Marvel characters Spider-ham and Nakia, brace yourselves! An announcement recently revealed that they will both appear in a new cinematic extravaganza. Not literally, of course – the real-life actors who breathed life into these characters on the screen, John Mulaney and Lupita Nyong’o, are teaming up. They’re not alone, as Oscar-winning actor Jared Leto is also part of this impressive cast. It seems that the Disney-owned production company, Searchlight Pictures, has geared up to make ‘Lunik Heist,’ a film inspired by true events, a reality.
A Stellar Line-up for the Space Heist Movie
The film’s story spins around a space race event in 1959. Not known until the documents were declassified in 2019, the American government planned a daring heist. They managed to covertly steal a Soviet spacecraft from a Mexico City expo, study it, and return it without the Soviets catching wind of it! The film aims to portray these thrilling, hush-hush events with a comedic twist.
When you look at the team behind this promising film, it’s clear why expectations are running high. Kemp Powers, previously known for directing Pixar’s Oscar-winning ‘Soul’ and for his work on ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,’ is tasked to direct this space race flick. Powers’ previous partnership with Mulaney, along with his talent for storytelling, surely glimpses glimpses of a captivating film ahead.
Leto and Mulaney: Multi-Talented Leads on Board
Sharing screen space with Nyong’o and Mulaney, Jared Leto is known for his transformative performances. He bagged the Oscar for best supporting actor for his compelling performance in ‘Dallas Buyers Club.’ With versatile roles, Leto never ceases to amaze his audience and we can’t wait to see what he brings to ‘Lunik Heist.’
Meanwhile, John Mulaney, the Emmy award-winning writer and notable figure of Saturday Night Live, is all set to spice things up. Known for voicing Spider-Ham in Powers’ Spider-Man film, Mulaney is also loved for his animated show, ‘Big Mouth.’
Nyong’o Lights Up the Cast List
Lupita Nyong’o, who garnered an Oscar for her heartfelt performance in ’12 Years a Slave’, is also joining the power-packed team. Nyong’o, known for her stellar performances, was recently the voice behind DreamWorks Animation’s ‘The Wild Robot.’ Her upcoming projects include playing Viola in the Public Theater’s live production of ‘The Twelfth Night.’
With such industry titans on board, ‘Lunik Heist’ has all the makings of a blockbuster hit. Anticipation is sky-high, and this bold mix of talent is poised to deliver a stellar production. Let’s wait and see if this space age crime movie takes us on a ride as thrilling as the actual space heist!

The ‘Lunik Heist’ crew is just as commendable off-screen. Leto and producer Emma Ludbrook are tying up with Mark Johnson of Gran Via Productions. Zahra Phillips holds the reins as the project’s director of development, working under DanTram Nguyen, the head of production and development.
In conclusion, ‘Lunik Heist’ is definitely a movie to watch out for with its stellar cast, a story inspired by true events, and the massive industry talent backing it.
