Ballerina star Ana de Armas and Marvel’s Sebastian Stan have joined the cast of a new spy thriller.

Variety reports that de Armas and Stan’s next film is a thriller called Impunity, which is being directed by The Settlers‘ Felipe Gálvez. Their co-star are Alfredo Castro, Antonia Zegers and Alejandro Goic. Aside from leading the cast, de Armas and Stan are also serving as executive producers.

The movie, which is being filmed in several countries, including Chile, Spain and the UK, takes place in the ’90s and tells the true story of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, who was in power for almost two decades. Eight years after leaving office, he faced terrorism and genocide charges.

As the case unfolds on screen, a mercenary and envoy work behind the scenes and discover shocking conspiracies and secrets.

Impunity adapt Philippe Sands’ 2025 book 38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England, and a Nazi in Patagonia.

In a statement, Gálvez told Variety that he wants to use the spy genre as a lens to “explore the pages erased from our history” and “conversations interrupted by fear.” The director doesn’t intend to “celebrate conspiracies” but, rather, to “reveal how justice itself can be negotiated, delayed and turned into spectacle.”

“I grew up listening to unfinished stories, conversations interrupted by fear. With Impunity, I want to explore the pages erased from our history. Using the language of the spy genre, not to celebrate conspiracies, but to reveal how justice itself can be negotiated, delayed and turned into spectacle.”

Gálvez has been an editor on several projects, and directed and wrote two short films. Three years ago, he made his feature directorial debut with the Western The Settlers, which won the FIPRESCI Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 94% critic score.

Producers Benjamín Domenech and Emily Morgan praised Gálvez’s vision for Impunity, which will “resonate with audiences who demand interrogation of the foundations of our society.”

Pathé Films president Ardavan Safaee added that he was “immediately captivated” by the script, which was written by Gálvez, Mariano Llinás and Antonia Girardi. He knew Gálvez would be the perfect person to adapt 38 Londres Street after seeing the director’s ability to “confront history through a bold, singular cinematic vision” in The Settlers.

Benjamín Domenech & Emily Morgan: “Embarking on Impunity represents for us a major cinematic challenge and a sense of historical responsibility. In a world where accountability is continually contested, Felipe’s vision is a vital cinematic intervention, destined to resonate with audiences who demand interrogation of the foundations of our society.”

Ardavan Safaee: “When I first watched The Settlers, I was struck by the formal mastery of Felipe Gálvez’s direction and his remarkable ability to confront history through a bold, singular cinematic vision. From the first reading of the script of Impunity, we were immediately captivated by this gripping and sophisticated work—one that not only engages and entertains, but sheds light on unexpected truths, brought to life by the powerful performances of Sebastian Stan and Ana de Armas.”

Speaking of his previous film, Impunity will reunite Gálvez with several members of the team that brought The Settlers to life on screen, like editor Matthieu Taponier, composer Harry Allouche, cinematographer Simone D’Arcangelo and costume designer Muriel Parra.

Before joining Impunity, de Armas had starred in movies like Blade Runner 2049, Knives Out, No Time to Die and the John Wick spinoff film Ballerina. She received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for her role as the iconic movie star Norma Jeane/Marilyn Monroe in Blonde.

Stan is best known for playing Bucky Barnes in several Marvel Cinematic Universe films, including Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Thunderbolts* and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Two years after de Armas scored her Oscar nod, Stan landed his own nomination at the Academy Awards for playing Donald Trump in The Apprentice.

Now Ana de Armas and Sebastian Stan are teaming up for the thriller Impunity, which will be their second project together after the 2023 Apple TV film Ghosted. Impunity does not have a release date yet.
