Further casting for the eagerly anticipated "Merrily We Roll Along" movie has been unveiled.

The film will be based on the 1981 musical by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, directed by Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Before Sunrise, Dazed and Confused). True to Linklater's iconic "Boyhood," this adaptation will be filmed in real-time, spanning approximately 20 years.

A significant portion of the cast has been announced: Paul Mescal (Normal People, Gladiator II) will take on the role of Franklin Shepard, Hannah Cruz (Suffs, Hamilton) will portray Franklin's wife, Gussie Carnegie, Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen) will play Charley Kringas, and Beanie Feldstein (Booksmart, Lady Bird) will step into the role of Mary Flynn.

While the news is thrilling, patience is essential, as filming is expected to conclude in the early 2040s.
