Dan Stevens wasn’t killed off in an especially romantic way at the end of his tenure on Downton Abbey, and now it seems he may be in danger of death-by-monster-reptile. He has just been cast as Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend in Colossal, a film about a woman who experiences a telepathic connection with a giant lizard. (No, you did not accidentally end up on Clickhole; this is a real film.)
Vulture reports that Anne Hathaway “plays a recently dumped young woman whose quarter-life crisis is interrupted by the discovery that she shares a mind-link with a monster that’s destroying Seoul.” Though Stevens’ character is the one to cast her off, he will, according to Variety, “later fight to win her back.”
