Edward Norton has been cast as legendary folk musician Pete Seeger in James Mangold’s upcoming Bob Dylan biopic.

Titled A Complete Unknown, the film stars Timothée Chalamet as a young Dylan in 1965, after he first begins performing with an electric guitar. Norton is stepping in for a departing Benedict Cumberbatch, who had to leave the film due to scheduling issues.

The script was penned by Gangs of New York screenwriter Jay Cocks, with Mangold handling revisions. A Complete Unknown also stars Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez and Elle Fanning as Dylan’s early ’60s love interest, university student and artist Sylvie Russo.

A Complete Unknown is set to begin production in New York City this summer. There currently isn’t a release date.

Norton most recently starred in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City and appeared in two episodes of Apple TV’s miniseries Extrapolations.
