It's the good news we needed in 2020: Harry Styles will star in the new film Don't Worry Darling.

E! News can confirm the Fine Line performer is replacing Shia LaBeouf in one of the lead roles for Olivia Wilde's highly-anticipated film from New Line Pictures. He joins a star studded cast that includes Florence Pugh, Chris Pine, Dakota Johnson and Olivia, who is directing and producing the psychological thriller. 

According to the logline, the movie is about an isolated, utopian community in the 1950s California desert. Little else is known about the project, but the all-star cast has film fanatics excited nonetheless. 

This will be Harry's second movie, the first being Christopher Nolan's critically-acclaimed World War II flick Dunkirk

Olivia has a lot on her plate, with the Booksmart director recently confirming that she's directing and developing a Marvel film about a female superhero. She hinted on her Twitter that the character could be Spiderwoman.
