Danny Ramirez

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ star Danny Ramirez has been reported to play opposite Joaquin Phoenix in the upcoming Todd Haynes gay period romance!

According to an article by Deadline, Ramirez has been cast to play Phoenix’s lover in the still-untitled gay detective movie.

Additional casting is still underway. Christine Vachon, Haynes’ regular producer, is producing the film as well as Pam Koffler.

Haynes also wrote the screenplay with the help of Phoenix and Jon Raymond.

In a previous interview, Haynes teased that the film is going to be between two men set in the 30s that has “explicit sexual content.”

“It’s a love story between two men set in the 30s that has explicit sexual content that or at least challenges you with the sexual relationship between these two men. One is a Native American character and one is a corrupt cop in LA. It’s set in the 30s. They ultimately have to flee L.A. and go to Mexico. But it’s a love story with a strong sexual component,” Haynes said about the movie.

Before we see the Haynes-helmed movie, fans will be seeing Phoenix first in the ‘Joker’ sequel, starring Lady Gaga (with reportedly, several original songs). On the other hand, Ramirez’s recent credits include the Disney+ series ‘The Falcon & the Winter Soldier’ and he will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the upcoming ‘Captain America: New World Order’ where he will reprise the role of Joaquin Torres.
