Sherlock and All of Us Strangers actor Andrew Scott has landed his next movie role in an upcoming legal thriller.
Deadline reports that Scott has joined A Place in Hell, a film that follows two women – played by Michelle Williams and Daisy Edgar-Jones – at a high-profile law firm.
The film is written and directed by Chloe Domont, who previously helmed thriller Fair Play. Rian Johnson's company T-Street is producing.
It's not the only upcoming collaboration between Scott and Johnson, as he will be appearing in the upcoming third Knives Out film, Wake Up Dead Man.
He's part of a star-studded ensemble cast that includes Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church.
Of course, Daniel Craig will be returning as detective Benoit Blanc.

Scott famously starred as the Hot Priest in the second season of Fleabag, and was notably the only person other than Phoebe Waller-Bridge's titular character who could break the fourth wall.
However, former BBC Director of Comedy Shane Allen revealed last year that Scott was almost replaced just days before filming commenced due to some meddling executives.

He recalled: "A whole raft of US male execs turned up to the read-through and – bear in mind this was a piece exploring self-destructive feminism – proceeded to tear the show apart and demand Andrew Scott was recast with only four days until the shoot started.
"Anyone less effervescently charming and smart than Phoebe would have buckled."
Waller-Bridge herself had previously said that she doesn't think the role "would exist if Andrew didn't do it".
A Place in Hell does not currently have a release date.
