Ayer wrote the script and is directing,
Pena will play the tank’s driver, a butcher who always is drunk — having vowed never to go into combat sober. Pitt plays a battle-hardened sergeant named Wardaddy.
Pena was an integral part of Ayer’s End of Watch, starring opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in the police thriller and giving a performance that was much praised. He most recently appeared in Gangster Squad and is voicing a character in DreamWorks Animation’s Turbo.
Pena is repped by CAA, Management 360 and Stone Meyer.
