Brad Pitt to star as a 1970s ironworker in Apple drama Connector

Brad Pitt is locking in his next big role, and it's a high-flying one. According to a report by JoBlo, the actor is set to star in a new film for Apple titled 'Connector'.

The film will be directed by Darius Marder, who previously helmed the acclaimed drama 'Sound of Metal'. This marks a major reunion for Marder and Apple, who collaborated on his last film.

The story is described as a drama set in the 1970s, focusing on the world of ironworkers. Per JoBlo, Pitt will play a 'sky-walking' ironworker, suggesting a role involving significant work on high steel structures.

No further casting or a production timeline was provided in the report. The project is currently in development at Apple Original Films.
