KJ Apa’s career has gone into places that no one could have really predicted. He modernized Archie Comics’ titular goofball throughout seven seasons of The CW’s Riverdale. He very, very briefly was set to play a DC superhero. He may or may not be moonlighting, Hannah Montana-style, as an outrageous indie musician.
On Wednesday, we got a look at yet another evolution of his career… and honestly, I am so here for it. The first trailer for Jimmy, the upcoming biopic starring Apa as iconic actor Jimmy Stewart, has been released. (Just in time for everyone to rewatch Stewart’s 1946 classic It’s a Wonderful Life this holiday season.) Jimmy will chronicle Stewart’s decision to enlist and becoming a combat pilot and commander in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II after winning the best actor Oscar for his work in The Philadelphia Story.
