Kevin Spacey, the controversial actor, is set to star as The Devil in the upcoming thriller, The Contract. Directed by Italian filmmaker Massimiliano Caroletti, the project marks Spacey's return to the spotlight after facing accusations of sexual misconduct in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
The Contract, which has recently wrapped filming in Rome, is the first installment of a planned trilogy. The plot details are currently under wraps, but it is known that Spacey will portray The Devil, drawing inspiration from iconic films like Angel Heart and The Devil's Advocate.
Despite the allegations against him, Spacey has consistently denied any wrongdoing and was acquitted of sexual assault charges in a London court. Known for his roles in American Beauty, Seven, The Usual Suspects, and Baby Driver, Spacey made a comeback in the action thriller Control and reprised his role as Frank Underwood in a controversial video last year.
In his latest project, Peter Five Eight, set to release in March 2024, Spacey plays a real estate agent with a dark secret. The actor has also faced backlash for his public appearances, including a recent comic book convention appearance.
With The Contract poised for release, audiences are curious to see how Spacey's portrayal of The Devil will be received, given his tumultuous past and ongoing efforts to revive his career.
