His previous credits include the likes of the 2013 Dwayne Johnson actionerSnitch, and the well-received crime thrillerShot CallerstarringGame of Thronesstar Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The movie also finds Waugh re-teaming with Gerard Butler, with the two havingworked on last year’s finale to the Fallen action serieswithAngel Has Fallen, which found Butler’s hero Mike Banning framed for the attempted assassination of the President and forced to evade his own agency and the FBI as he tries to uncover the real threat.
InGreenlandButler is once again on hero duty asJohn Garrity, whileSerenityandDeadpool 2actor Morena Baccarin stars as estranged wife Allison. The mismatched pair, along with their young son Nathan, flee home for safety after scientists discover that a comet will strike the Earth in just a few days' time.

In the case ofGreenland, this is now the movie’s third release date, which was originally set to open on June 12 prior to the ongoing global situation sending the entertainment industry into turmoil.
That shuffle saw Warner Bros. move Christopher Nolan’s Tenet from July 17 to July 31 and Wonder Woman 1984 shifted from August 14 to October 2. So, for nowGreenlandis set to open in theaters on August 14, but do not be too surprised if things change again. This comes to us fromComicbook.com.
