Hiddleston will play Hillary in the film, while Dafoe is expected to star as expedition leader Colonel John Hunt. Further casting is currently underway.“Tibetan-born Tenzing Norgay, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, both outsiders on a British Expedition, defied insurmountable odds to achieve what was once thought impossible, reaching the summit of the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest,” the synopsis reads.
The screenplay for Tenzing was written by Luke Davies. Davies and Peedom are also producing the film alongside Liz Watts, Emile Sherman, Iain Canning, and Desray Armstrong. Simon Gillis, David Michôd, and Norbu Tenzing serve as executive producers.

He’s attached to star in Mike Flanagan’s upcoming Stephen King adaptation The Life of Chuck.
Dafoe, meanwhile, recently starred in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things. He’ll soon be seen in Lanthimos’ next movie, Kinds of Kindness, which releases in June 2024, along with the upcoming sequel to Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice.Brandon Schreur has been writing about comics, movies, television shows, and all things pop culture for roughly five years.
