What This Means For I Will Find You
Both Worthington And The Show Could Benefit
I Will Find Youcould benefit from being developed at a point that means it will likely premiere at a time when Sam Worthington will be back toward the peak of his star power in the wake of the release of theupcomingAvatar: Fire and Ash.He had a similar fertile period in the wake of the original movie, when he starred in 2010’sClash of the Titans, which became the 11th highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide and spawned a sequel, 2012’sWrath of the Titans.
Avatar: Fire and Ashis set to premiere on June 30, 2025.
Sam Worthington could similarly benefit from starring in theNetflix Harlan Coben showduring that time. Although he is best known for his roles in action movies, a roster which also includesTerminator: Salvation,he has long been spreading his wings outside the action-adventure, sci-fi, and fantasy genresby starring in lesser-known thrillers and dramas such asLast Night,Texas Killing Fields,Cake,The Last Son, andBreathe.I Will Find Youcould offer him his biggest opportunity yet to show off his acting range to a wide audience.
