‘Killing Castro’: Titus Welliver Joins Al Pacino led Star-Studded Cast!!

Killing Castro, an upcoming movie based on true events surrounding the aftermath of the Cuban revolution, has assembled an impressive cast ahead of production. According to According to Deadline, Titus Welliver, the star of the Bosch television series, will be a part of the cast that also includes Al Pacino, Diego Boneta, KiKi Layne, Nicole Beharie, Logan Marshall-Green, Xolo Maridueña, Alexander Ludwig, Ron Livingston, and Kendrick Sampson. The thriller, which will also mark Eif Rivera‘s directorial debut, will document a tense moment in the history of Cuba.

The premise of Killing Castro will follow a rookie undercover FBI agent, as he’s sent to supervise Fidel Castro during a New York City trip where he’s supposed to give a speech at the United Nations. But when Malcolm X invites him to stay at the Hotel Theresa in Harlem after a rough reception in his original hotel, the young agent will be tasked with keeping his target safe from the CIA and the Italian mafia. Nothing could’ve prepared the agent for a mission of this magnitude, with the fate of two countries in the balance. The project will follow the steps necessary to keep both men safe during their first meeting.

Welliver, who lead Bosch for seven seasons, played the titular detective straight out of Michael Connelly‘s books. When it was time for the series to come to an end after seven seasons, it was decided that the character would return in Bosch: Legacy, a sequel series that has remained strong in the last couple of years. The project has been renewed for a third season, with the second installment concluding last month. Before Killing Castro brings a very tense situation to the big screen, detective Michael Bosch will likely return with more mysteries to solve in the near future.
