Wyatt Russell is cast in John Carroll Lynch’s upcoming comedy “Happy,” joining an ensemble that includes Asa Butterfield, Mark Strong, Kyra Sedgwick, Brittany O’Grady, and Patti Harrison. The film follows Butterfield’s character, Myles, as he navigates an introduction to his girlfriend’s family that turns out to be dysfunctional, with comedic chaos beginning early in the encounter.
Variety, Deadline, and The Hollywood Reporter all describe the movie as a broad comedy built around Myles’s increasingly chaotic experience with the family. The outlets also agree on the core cast lineup and Lynch’s role as director. While their coverage differs slightly in wording and emphasis, all present “Happy” as an ensemble comedy led by Butterfield, with Russell among the additions. Details such as filming dates, plot specifics beyond the premise, and release timing are not included in the shared reporting.
