Kevin Hart to Star in 'Monopoly' Movie
Kevin Hart is ready to pass GO and collecting $200.
The actor is set to star in "Monopoly," a movie adaptation of the popular board game. The project, produced by Lionsgate and Hasbro, will reunite Hart with his "Ride Along" director Tim Story.
There's no word on the story of this "Monopoly" movie or the character that Hart will play.
Hart is well-versed in movies about board games; he starred in 2017's "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," the updated follow-up to the 1995 classic adventure film about kids who get sucked into a board game. He's preparing to begin filming on the "Welcome to the Jungle" sequel with co-star (and troll buddy) Dwayne Johnson.
His casting comes just a few weeks after the brouhaha that saw him step down from hosting the Oscars.
