Loki star Owen Wilson has landed his next lead movie role, joining the cast of Lips Like Sugar.
As reported by Deadline, Wilson will star alongside Woody Harrelson in the upcoming crime thriller, which is being written by Anthony Tambakis and directed by Brantley Gutierrez.
The logline for the film, which is also being produced by Harrelson, reads: "Set during the 1984 Olympic Games in L.A. and loosely based on a true story, the coming-of-age thriller is set against the backdrop of the punk and skate worlds of West Los Angeles.

"As the new friendship of two teenage girls from different walks of life unfolds and city officials focus on the Olympics, the lives of two former detectives (Harrelson and Wilson) become intertwined when one of the girls goes missing."
Wilson, who has also starred in Zoolander and Pixar's Cars, plays Mobius M Mobius in Disney+'s Loki, which is due to return later this year with a six-episode second season.
Wilson teased the upcoming developments in the show, promising that fans would learn more about his mysterious character: "I thought I would have a good time but I really enjoyed it," he said.
"I've been lucky working on a million movies and always having a good time but on that one, I had a really great time and that continued on season two," he added. "Maybe even more so because we were filming in London and being there at Pinewood but yeah, [his story] just goes deeper."

Co-star Wunmi Mosaku, who plays Hunter B-15 on the series, also spoke about the upcoming season, telling Digital Spy in an exclusive interview that she enjoyed the opportunity to return to a show.
"It was just really nice coming back. It's very rare for me to come back to a show," she said. "To come back to season 2 to see everybody and be like, 'Oh, we did this' – that was really fun. That was just really new. I hope we live up to season one."
Loki season 1 is streaming on Disney+. Season 2 will premiere on October 6.
