Jul 26, 2025


The Zellner Brothers’ (Sasquatch Sunset) upcoming alien invasion comedy Alpha Gang just landed a major boost in star power. Chris Pine (Star Trek), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Mufasa: The Lion King), and Doona Bae (Rebel Moon) have officially joined the ensemble cast.The film centers on a team of alien invaders sent to conquer Earth, who disguise themselves as a 1950s leather-clad biker gang. The mission? Ruthless domination, until they’re infected with the most dangerous human affliction of all… emotion.Character details are still under wraps, but the cast is shaping up to be one of the most eclectic lineups in recent memory. Cate Blanchett, Léa Seydoux, Dave Bautista, and Riley Keough were previously announced, making this a stacked roster of heavy hitters.When Alpha Gang was first revealed back in October 2024, Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz, and Steven Yeun were part of the ensemble, but they’ve since exited. Sources cite a mix of factors, mostly scheduling issues.Pine is best known for his turn as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek films and is coming off projects like his directorial debut Poolman, Don’t Worry Darling, and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.Depp is riding high after her acclaimed performance in Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu opposite Nicholas Hoult and Bill Skarsgård. Harrison Jr., recently cast as Beetee in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, has appeared in Chevalier, Elvis, O’Dessa, and Mufasa: The Lion King. He’s also set to portray Jean-Michel Basquiat in the indie Samo Lives. With a concept that sounds like a genre-bending blast and a cast this strong, Alpha Gang is shaping up to be an intriguing indie project.Source: Deadline
