CAPTAIN AMERICA's Sebastian Stan Joins Meryl Streep in RICKI AND THE FLASH

ComingSoon.net reports that CAPTAIN AMERICA star Sebastian Stan will appear opposite Meryl Streep in Jonathan Demme's upcoming movie musical RICKI AND THE FLASH. He will play Streep's estranged son Joshua.

Also in the cast is fellow Broadway star Ben Platt (BOOK OF MORMON), as well as Kevin Kline and Rick Springsteen.

RICKI AND THE FLASH is the funny and touching story of a rock n' roll-loving woman who chased her tattered dream at the price of her family, but gets a last chance to, perhaps, make things right. Streep, the most Oscar-nominated actor in history, is well known for her singing prowess on stage and screen (Mamma Mia, Into the Woods), but Ricki is a new gig even for the musically gifted star: a guitar-wielding, hard rockin' mamma by night and grocery store checkout lady by day.

Stan is set to reprise his superhero role in Marvel's CAPTAIN AMERICA 3, out in May 2016. Also among his upcoming projects are THE BRONZE and THE MARTIAN. The actor appeared on Broadway in PICNIC last year and before that in 2007's TALK RADIO.

RICKI AND THE FLASH will hit theaters on June 26, 2015.
