‘Bill And Ted Face The Music’ Will Have The Duo Face Off Against Kid Cudi
Bill & Ted Face the Musicwill be adding an actual musician to its increasingly impressive cast. The cast has addedKid Cudiin an undisclosed but “significant” role in the third installment of the time-traveling comedy franchise starringKeanu ReevesandAlex Winteras the two truly bodacious dudes.
Keanu Reeves has fought against ninja assassins, jealous boyfriends, sociopathic toys, and video game brawlers, but soon he and Winter will be facing off against middle age inBill & Ted Face the Music— and apparently, Grammy Award winning artists.
The band is getting back together for the third installment of theBill & Tedfranchise, and they will likely find a worthy competitor inScott Mescudi, better known by his stage name Kid Cudi, who has joined the growing cast ofBill & Ted Face the Musicwhich includesAlex Winter, Keanu Reeves, William Sadler, Samara Weaving,andBrigette Lundy-Paine. Mescudi will have a “significant role” though details are being kept under wraps. Mescudi is best known for his musical career, but he’s been acting regularly for the past decade through cameo appearances and sitcom roles, most recently appearing in an indie filmDrunk Parents. But I would imagine, with a title likeFace the Music, Mescudi will be playing a musician to rival Wyld Stallyns.
Bill & Ted Face the Musicwill be directed byDean Parisot(Galaxy Quest,Red 2,Fun With Dick and Jane), from a screenplay by returning franchise writersChris Matheson(Imagine That, A Goofy Movie) andEd Solomon(Men in Black, Mosaic).
