Tom Holland and Austin Butler have signed on to play real-life brothers who were race car drivers and crooks in "American Speed".

Holland and Butler will play two of the three Whittington brothers, who were star race car drivers in the '70s and '80s. Two of the brothers, Don and Bill, got caught up in a scandal at the IMSA Motorsport Association, where their team was funding their racing activities with money earned from marijuana smuggling.

A director has not yet been revealed. However, the script is being handled by Dan Wiedenhaupt. Charles Roven, RD Whittington and Douglas Banker are set to produce, and Ryan Sanak is acting as executive producer.

Holland has been busy of late, as he will star opposite Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan's next film for Universal Pictures, set for release in summer of 2026. Holland also has Sony’s Spider-Man 4 hitting theaters that same year.

Butler's forthcoming projects include Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing and Ari Aster's Eddington. Butler previously appeared in this year's films Dune: Part Two and The Bikeriders, and he was Oscar-nominated for his starring role in Elvis.
