Richard Madden has found a duel role in his next major project — twins in Amazon Studios' upcoming movie Killer Heat.

Killer Heat comes from filmmaker Philippe Lacôte, who will direct the movie, which is based on the 2021 Jo Nesbø short story The Jealousy Man. The story follows twin brothers who get caught up in a violent love triangle on a Greek island.

Meanwhile, a detective – The Jealousy Man –, who will be played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is called in to investigate the case. Shailene Woodley will also costar. The script is written by House of Gucci writer Roberto Bentivegna and Bridge of Spies scribe Matt Charman.

Madden, who will next be seen opposite Priyanka Chopra in Citadel, is best known for his breakout role in Game of Thrones and his starring role in Marvel's Eternals.

That Marvel movie featured Harry Styles as Thanos' brother Eros alongside Patton Oswalt's Pip. There has been no official word on an Eternals 2 just yet, although last August, Oswalt stated that a second movie is happening and that Chloé Zhao is returning to direct it.

"They have announced there's going to be an Eternals sequel. Chloé Zhao is going to direct it," Oswalt said. "So, hopefully, there will be more adventures of Starfox and Pip."

Marvel producer Nate Moore later teased fans that Styles would be returning to the MCU, too, explaining that they didn't just cast Styles for a tag at the end of the movie.

"We didn’t cast Harry for a tag. [There’s] more stories to be told with that character. He has an interesting connection with Thanos; they’re half-brothers and share the same father," Moore said.

Eternals is streaming on Disney+.
