Tom Holland is in talks to star in a new film from his “Avengers” directors Anthony and Joe Russo, the heist movie “Cherry,” an individual with knowledge of the project tells TheWrap.

The Russo brothers are directing the film based on the 2018 novel by Nico Walker about a former Iraq War Army medic who turned to robbing banks to pay for his increasing medical bills and cope with his PTSD.

While fictionalized, the book parallels the true story of its author, Walker, who himself was an army medic who was caught and convicted for bank robbery. Walker is currently serving out the last two years of his 11-year prison sentence.
