Sony is moving forward with its untitled Fred Astaire biopic by adding Margaret Qualley and Sabrina Carpenter to the cast. Tom Holland is set to play Fred Astaire, with Qualley cast as Adele Astaire and Carpenter cast as Ginger Rogers.
The project is directed by Paul King and produced by Amy Pascal, according to the reports. One outlet frames the casting as a new development in the film’s ongoing development process, noting that Holland first discussed his involvement about five years earlier. The other outlets focus primarily on the roles assigned to Qualley and Carpenter, aligning on how each performer will portray Astaire’s key real-life dance partners.
Across coverage, the core details remain consistent: Holland stars as Fred Astaire, Qualley takes the role of Adele Astaire, and Carpenter plays Ginger Rogers, in a Sony film that continues to develop under King’s direction and Pascal’s production.
