Nicholas Hoult and Clint Eastwood on set of Juror No. 2.

Who needs to retire? Not Clint Eastwood apparently. At 94 years young, the legendary movie star and award-winning director has a 2024 new movie for audiences, Juror No. 2, a courtroom thriller.

Eastwood is just behind the camera for this one, after last appearing in his 2021 movie Cry Macho, but he has put together a star-studded cast for a story about a juror faced with a difficult choice as he sits on a murder trial.

Here's everything you need to know about Juror No. 2, including who's in it and how it fared with reviews.

How to watch Juror No. 2

Juror No. 2 is now playing exclusively in movie theaters. 

Juror No. 2 cast

Eastwood chose a group of his peers (highly acclaimed actors) to make up his cast in Juror No. 2. In the main role is Nicholas Hoult as Justin Kemp. Hoult is coming off his acclaimed performance in the fan-favorite Hulu series The Great, but has also starred in The Menu, The Favourite and Mad Max: Fury Road. He's got a few other notable upcoming movies, including 2024's Nosferatu and The Order.

Joining Hoult in the movie are Oscar nominee Toni Collette (The Sixth Sense, The Staircase), Oscar winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash, Red One), Zoey Deutch (The Outfit, Set It Up), Chris Messina (AIR, I.S.S.), Gabriel Basso (The Strangers: Chapter 1, The Night Agent), Leslie Bibb (Palm Royale, About My Father) and Kiefer Sutherland (24, They Cloned Tyrone).

Juror No. 2 plot

An original script from Jonathan Abrams, here is the the synopsis:

"Juror No. 2 follows family man Justin Kemp who, while serving as a juror in a high profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma... one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict — or free — the accused killer."
