The Big Picture Dan Stevens and Lily James are swiping right on the biopic of Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of Bumble. Wolfe Herd became famous as the co-founder and CEO of the popular dating app, which she launched after leaving Tinder due to internal tensions. The untitled feature, from 20th Century Studios and Ethea Entertainment, will see James playing Herd, with Stevens taking on the role of Herd's business partner.
Over the past month, Stevens has remained firmly in the spotlight, beginning with his fun and frothy role in Legendary's box-office sensation, Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire. The film has soared past the $500 million mark worldwide and continues to gain momentum, cementing Stevens' presence as a bankable star.
Stepping into the neon-lit world of thrillers, Stevens wowed audiences in Cuckoo, a gripping horror that garnered rave reviews at the Berlin Film Festival. And as if the man wasn't busy enough, Stevens is also set to grace the small screen with the Netflix series Zero Day, currently in production. With his diverse range of projects spanning both film and television, Stevens' star continues to rise. Not bad going for Cousin Matthew.
