The film also stars Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, and more.
Pete Davidson is bringing his love-hate relationship with his hometown down to SXSW. On Wednesday, SXSW announced that The King of Staten Island, co-written by and starring Davidson, would be opening the festival with its world premiere.
Davidson has been known to make ruthless jokes about his less-than-desirable hometown; during one Weekend Update segment on Saturday Night Live, he quipped,"Don't get me wrong; I know Staten Island isn't all heroin and racist cops. It also has meth and racist firefighters.
Other major features set to debut at SXSW in 2020 include The Lovebirds, a romantic murder-mystery starring Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae, as well as Spike Jonze's Beastie Boys Story. View the full list of films to be shown at SXSW here.
