EXCLUSIVE: Famke Janssen (X-Men franchise), Brett Gelman (Stranger Things), Sharlto Copley (District 9), Quinn Copeland (Peacock’s Punky Brewster) and twins Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti (Big Little Lies) have joined the cast of Boy Kills World, an upcoming action-thriller produced by Sam Raimi and more.
They’re set to star alongside previously announced cast members including Bill Skarsgård, Yayan Ruhian, Jessica Rothe, Andrew Koji and Isaiah Mustafa.

Portraying the film’s antagonists—the Van Der Koy family—are Janssen as matriarch Hilda, Gelman as Gideon and Copley as Glen. Copeland will play a character known as Mina, with the Crovetti twins portraying a young version of Skarsgård’s Boy.
