Info in Movie News | Joel Edgerton isn’t taking a break and has not planned one. The Australian actor, after being praised for his multifaceted performance as various versions of Jason Dessen in the first season of Dark Matter, is going to participate in a busy schedule of projects. The production of the second season of Dark Matter is already going on although Apple TV+ has not announced yet when it will be premiered. And fans are still waiting to see what the next will be eagerly.

Dark Matter is a television program that was made based on a sci-fi book by Blake Crouch. it tells a fascinating and complicated story about a multiverse which has amazed the viewers. The main character of the story is Edgerton’s who plays a man that was hijacked from his life and then thrown into alternate realities, each one more strange and emotionally charged than the last. The first season closely followed the book, but now, the series must find its own way.

According to Collider, Dark Matter season 2 started shooting early this year but there is still no news on when production will be finished. As a result, the fans should not expect a new episode before 2026 at the earliest. The team that created the show has to come up with a plan for the next story, which is beyond a novel, a withdrawal that may upgrade the series or make it worse. Yet, Edgerton is still there and the fans remain confident.

However, Dark Matter is just one of the undertakings that keep Edgerton in the limelight. Besides, he has a commitment to star in Train Dreams, a Netflix drama movie that has been very well received after its premiere at the Sundance Movie Festival. The movie has received an outrageous 97% from 36 critics’ on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating the coming Oscar race is already taking it into account among the favorites.

The tale of a man dealing with the death of his loved ones and a rapidly changing society is the main theme of the movie train dreams set in the 20th century Early America. The movie, which is based on the novella by Denis Johnson, stars Edgerton, Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin), and Felicity Jones (Rogue One). It is a rare Netflix movie that will be released in some cinemas on November 21 before it comes to the streaming service later.

The movie was changed into a new version by Cliff Bentley and Greg Kwedar, with Bentley directing it as well. The cast of the movie consists of Nathaniel Arcand, Clifton Collins Jr., Paul Schneider, John Diehl, and William H. Macy, with Will Patton as the narrator. Edgerton is also one of the movie's executive producers, thus he is very much involved behind the scene.

The choice to premiere Train Dreams in cinemas before going online is significant. Traditionally, Netflix has been known for its prompt streaming releases, however, this decision indicates a change of strategy, with the company possibly aiming to get some of its titles into the awards race. Given the movie’s early acclaim, it’s easy to see why.

Edgerton has proven his versatility beyond doubt by traversing alternate worlds in Dark Matter and conveying grief of the past era in Train Dreams. The actor still demonstrates his outstanding range after both a popular sci-fi series and a period drama movie are about to be released. He’s definitely one of the most talented and versatile performers of the present day, as he has demonstrated again.
