Variety reports that David Oyelowo is will likely star alongside George Clooney, Felicity Jones, and Kyle Chandler in Netflix's untitled adaptation of Lily Brooks-Dalton's 2016 novel "Good Morning, Midnight." Clooney also directs the feature.

Oyelowo began his career with the Royal Shakespeare Company in London, performing most famously as Henry VI in Shakespare's trilogy. He was the first black actor to play a British king in a Shakespeare production of that caliber.
