After starring together in 2011’s Immortals, Luke Evans and Henry Cavill are set to share the screen once again, this time playing soldiers in Iraq War drama Sand Castle.

Nicholas Hoult has been attached to this one for a while, and now according to Variety, Evans and Cavill will join him.

The story will focus on Matt Ocre (Hoult), and platoon leader Sergeant Baker (Evans), as they and their troops attempt to protect a farming village called Baqubah in the crosshairs of some very dangerous enemies. At the same time, Baker has to keep his troops sane in the face of mounting casualties. As for Cavill, he’ll be the special forces captain running the operation.

Filming begins next month and you can expect a 2016 release.
