Jacob Elordi could be replacing Paul Mescal in Ridley Scott's thriller 'The Dog Stars.' 'The Euphoria' actor is in early negotiations to replace Mescal, who had been previously set to star in the 20th Century Studios movie. The film will be an adaptation of Peter Heller's 2012 apocalyptic novel of the same name, which centers on a civilian pilot living on an abandoned airbase with his dog and an ex-Marine amid a devastating pandemic.

It seems that Paul Mescal is headed down Abbey Road. During a conversation at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles, Mescal's 'Gladiator II' director Ridley Scott let slip that the actor may have some scheduling conflicts for their next film collaboration. In a conversation with Christopher Nolan, the filmmaker Scott asked if Mescal is set to star in his upcoming thriller feature 'The Dog Stars.' Scott confirmed this as true before correcting himself and explaining that Mescal's schedule may prevent the 'Gladiator II' pair from reuniting on the new film. According to Scott, the actor is set to star in Sony Pictures' Beatles movies for director Sam Mendes.
