Deadline confirmed that Chris had joined the cast of Honey Don’t! The movie will be directed by Ethan Coen and finds him joining forces with Agatha: Darkhold Diaries actress Aubrey Plaza.

It also stars Margaret Qualley. Not much is known about the project yet, but the outlet reported that it is expected to be a road-trip comedy.

Chris took to social media to react to the news, sharing Deadline’s report on his Instagram story. “Can’t wait,” he added.

This must be a tempting role for the actor, who told GQ that he even asks when the movie would be filming before accepting a role. “Am I gonna miss autumn? You know, I don’t want to miss autumn. I only have so many of them,” he pointed out.

During the conversation, Chris said that he didn’t “want to occupy too much space in an industry that I’ve already poured 20 years into.”

He continued, saying, “Sometimes I wonder if I’m lacking some sort of — like, I think I’m a very driven person. I have a lot of energy. I wake up early, I get a lot done in a day, but it’s not always focused on acting. Sometimes reading a script is the last thing I want to do.”

In the same interview, Chris revealed why he did not consider himself to be a movie star. He also teased the sort of role he still wants to tackle.
