Acclaimed director Jeff Nichols has gathered a star-studded cast for his next film The BikeRiders, with the likes of\u00a0Austin Butler, Jodie Comer<\/a><\/span>, Tom Hardy<\/a><\/span> and Michael Shannon set to appear.<\/p>\n

The Bikeriders follows the rise of a fictional Midwestern motorcycle club in the 1960s, following the plight of<\/span> Benny (Butler), a young man who decides to join the gang.<\/p>\n

The first trailer for the movie landed back in March, giving fans a first look at the cast in action. Hardy\u2019s Johnny kicks off the footage by organising a riding club and christening it the Vandals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Butler\u2019s Benny is later seen joining the gang, as well as interacting with Comer\u2019s Kathy, who appears to be a romantic interest for the character.<\/span><\/p>\n
