The two up and coming actors join previously announced cast members Chris Pratt, Linda Cardellini, and Jude Hill.
Directed by McG and written by Will Staples, Way of the Warrior Kid follows “a self-doubting boy (Hill) who gets bullied and is hard-pressed to complete a single pull-up. That’s until his uncle Jake (Pratt), an elite Navy SEAL, is injured on a mission and moves in with his sister (Cardellini) for rehab. When he discovers his 13-year-old nephew, Marc, is struggling academically, socially and physically, Jake takes on a new mission: using his SEAL Team training over three months of summer to help the youth find his inner warrior.”
Just last week, Chris and Linda were spotted in costume as they filmed scenes for the movie in L.A.
Back in April, Levi along with sister Vida, 14, and brother Livingston, 11, made a very rare red carpet appearance with their parents!
