Scapegoat

Scapegoat is a developing A24 film written and directed by Ari Aster. Scarlett Johansson is attached to lead, while producer Lars Knudsen is working with Aster on the project. Variety reported in August 2026 that Jacob Elordi was in talks to join the cast; negotiations are not a final casting announcement. A24 has not disclosed the plot, production schedule, wider ensemble, or release date. The title and core creative team are supported by trade reporting, but story descriptions circulating elsewhere remain unconfirmed. As of August 2026, the film is still in development without a fixed ensemble, production timetable, or theatrical plan.
