Our second favorite speedster, Keiynan Lonsdale, has set aside his running shoes to co-lead the book-to-film adaptation of Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.

Lonsdale joins the film as Bram Greenfeld, a friend and classmate of Simon who features prominently in the book. We can’t wait to see what he can bring to the story and that character in particular.

He joins an already spectacular cast including Nick Robinson, Jennifer Garner, Katherine Langford, Josh Duhamel, Colton Haynes, and so many more familiar faces.

Lonsdale is no novice when it comes to adaptations. In addition to taking on comic book speedster Wally West in The Flash, he has also appeared in the last two Divergent films Insurgent and Allegiant as Uriah, and may appear in the TV movie for Ascendant if/when that sees the light of day.

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda is set to hit theaters March 16, 2018.
