Hawkeye director Bert (of Bert and Bertie, real name Amber Templemore-Finlayson) and Nope star Keke Palmer have teamed up for a brand new movie at Amazon.
According to Deadline, Amazon Studios has bought the rights for Moxie. The film is being directed by Bert, while Heather Quinn is writing the script. Quinn, like Bert, also has Marvel roots as she wrote on Hawkeye as well as the Marvel Halloween special Werewolf by Night.
As well as starring in the film, Palmer will co-produce the movie alongside Peter Lawson (John Wick and Snowden) and Kate Churchill (Spotlight and All the Old Knives). Sharon Palmer is executive producing.

The film is described as an action comedy "about a foul-mouthed stripper who pisses off the FBI in a big way when she somehow becomes the best candidate for their fancy new agent program".
This is not the first time Palmer has acted as a “foul-mouthed stripper”, because if you may recall, she won TIFF’s Creative Coalition's Spotlight Initiative Award for her role in Hustlers.
Palmer is one of the biggest stars of 2022, with her name attached to a bunch of big name releases this year. She voiced the character of Izzy Hawthorne in Pixar’s Lightyear, which also starred Captain America and Knives Out actor Chris Evans as the titular character.

She also starred in the critically acclaimed film Nope, which was directed by Get Out's Jordan Peele and starred The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun and Black Panther’s Daniel Kaluuya alongside her.
Talking about the very ambiguous final shot of Nope, Palmer said she is just as clueless as the rest of us.
"I don’t know and we’re never going to know unless there’s another movie. That’s the only way we would know,” she said.
Moxie currently does not have a release date.
Lightyear is streaming on Disney+, along with the entire Toy Story series and shorts.
