Emily in Paris star Lucas Bravo joins James McAvoy in new movie
Emily in Paris star Lucas Bravo has landed his next movie role opposite X-Men actor James McAvoy.
Bravo, who plays chef Gabriel in the hit Netflix series, will star in new thriller Turn Up The Sun! which has begun production under an Equity-PACT agreement, amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
According to Deadline, Bravo and McAvoy lead the ensemble cast in a story which follows two couples who unknowingly book the same countryside mansion for a fun weekend, but soon discover that not all is as it seems.

The movie is being written and directed by Welsh filmmaker Jamie Adams and also stars The Nightingale's Aisling Franciosi and The Good Boss' Almudena Amor.
Shaun Sanghani, who is financing the film as well as producing, told Deadline: "James McAvoy is one of the most talented actors in the business and having him and the rest of our amazing cast collaborate with Jamie Adams, who we are lucky to be reteaming with for a second feature, is exciting on every level".
This isn't the only project in the works for Bravo and McAvoy. The Emily in Paris star is swapping the small screen for a crime caper blockbuster, telling the story of a real-life French criminal who gained a reputation for his non-violent jewellery heists in the 1980s.

McAvoy will be marking a major career first too, as he steps behind the camera for his directorial debut.
The His Dark Materials star will oversee a film that tells the true story of Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, two friends from Scotland who fooled the music industry by pretending to be an established Californian rap duo.
"Using Scottish talent behind and in front of the camera is something I'm passionate about and I'm over the moon to be making my directorial debut in my homeland," the actor said in a statement.
Emily in Paris seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix. Season 4 has been confirmed.
