Back in May of 2024, we brought you the news that Kristen Stewart and Oscar Isaac would be starring in ‘Flesh of the Gods’ as a couple who are drawn into a neon-drenched LA nighttime nightmare for ‘Mandy’ director Panos Cosmatos.
Fast-forward to now, and while Stewart remains aboard, Deadline reports that Isaac has ducked out citing schedule clashes, but Cosmatos has found a more than able replacement in Wagner Moura.
Moura is fresh off becoming the first Brazilian to be nominated for an Academy Award for his superb performance in ‘The Secret Agent.’ While he didn’t nab the Oscar, he did pick up a Golden Globe and an acting prize at last year’s Cannes.

Married couple Raoul and Alex descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo to venture into the electric nighttime realm of 1980s Los Angeles. When they cross paths with a mysterious and enigmatic woman known only as Nameless, she and her hard-partying cabal initiate Raoul and Alex into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills and violence.
Andrew Kevin Walker (‘Se7en’) wrote the script from a story he cooked up with Cosmatos.
Where else can we see Wagner Moura?
Moura will next be seen starring in Louis Leterrier’s Netflix sci-fi horror flick ‘11817’ opposite Greta Lee, as well as in the drama ‘The Last Day’, opposite Alicia Vikander.
Wagner Moura accepts the Best Performance by a Lead Actor in a Motion Picture ñ Drama Award for ‘The Secret Agent’ onstage during the 83rd Annual Golden Globes®, airing live from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday, January 11, 2026 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
