Oscar Isaac is no longer set to star in Flesh of the Gods, a "hypnotic" vampire thriller from Mandy director Panos Cosmatos. He had previously been attached to the lead role opposite Kristen Stewart (Twilight), with the two cast as a married couple, Raoul and Alex, living in Los Angeles in the 1980s.
According to Deadline, Wagner Moura has signed a deal to star opposite Stewart, taking over the role from Isaac. The latter has reportedly left the role due to a scheduling conflict.
Written by Andrew Kevin Walker, the film is based on a story by Cosmatos and Walker, and sees Adam McKay and Betsy Koch produce for Hyperobject Industries, while Gena Konstantinakos and Isaac produce for Mad Gene Media.

Per the official synopsis, Raoul and Alex "descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm".
It adds: "When they cross paths with the mysterious and enigmatic Nameless and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills and violence."
What to Read Next
In May 2025, it was reported that Elizabeth Olsen had joined the project to star as Nameless. However, the latest article doesn't mention her at all, so it's unclear whether she is still attached.

Previously speaking about the movie, producer McKay told Deadline: "This director, this writer, these incredible actors, vampires, choice 80’s punk, style and attitude for miles… that’s the film we’re bringing you today.
"We think it’s wildly commercial and wildly artful. Our ambitions are to make a movie that ripples through popular culture, fashion, music, and film. Can you tell how excited I am?"
Cosmatos said: "Like Los Angeles itself Flesh Of The Gods inhabits the liminal realm between fantasy and nightmare. Both propulsive and hypnotic, Flesh will take you on a hot rod joy ride deep into the glittering heart of hell."
