It follows Evan Michaels (Mark Wahlberg), who is a self-diagnosed schizophrenic, in a world where near-immortal men and women are known as ‘infinites’, are continuously reincarnated over lifetimes that span centuries.

Other notable cast members include: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Wallis Day, Dylan O’Brien, Kae Alexander, Rupert Friend, Sophie Cookson and Melissa Neal.
Mantzoukas has appeared on quite a few fan-favorite shows, including Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Big Mouth, while he also served as the antagonist on the third installment of the Wick series, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
Infinite is currently in pre-production as filming begins at the end of September, 2019. The film is scheduled for a summer release in 2020 (August 7).
