Brett Gelman, Kevin Nealon and Rob Morgan join Luke Wilson-led comedy “Mini War”
Deadline reports that the film “Mini War,” starring Luke Wilson, Vanessa Hudgens and Nick Swardson, is adding Brett Gelman, Kevin Nealon and Rob Morgan to its cast.
A new comedy film in the works, “Mini War,” has added Brett Gelman, Kevin Nealon and Rob Morgan to its cast, Deadline reported on July 17.
The movie is described by the trade publication as a feature comedy starring Luke Wilson, Vanessa Hudgens and Nick Swardson. Deadline said Gelman, Nealon and Morgan are joining the project as part of the expanded ensemble.
Deadline’s report also places the film within a specific creative lineage, saying “Mini War” comes from the team behind the stoner cult comedy “Grandma’s Boy,” which features Swardson and has been associated with the same comedic circle.
The casting news extends the range of performers attached to “Mini War,” pairing Wilson and Hudgens with two additional comedy veterans in Gelman and Nealon and adding character actor and comedy presence Morgan, according to the Deadline account.
While the casting announcements indicate “Mini War” is moving ahead with a broader lineup, Deadline did not provide a release date, filming schedule or production timeline in the report.
The addition of multiple well-known comedians and actors suggests producers are continuing to assemble a cast likely to draw both mainstream audiences and viewers familiar with ensemble-driven comedy.
No details were provided in the report about the roles each new cast member will play, beyond their participation in the film’s cast.
For now, the project remains best characterized by its credited core cast and its connection to “Grandma’s Boy” as the relevant creative reference point cited by Deadline.
