David Harbour Drops Out of Behemoth! Movie

David Harbour had to leave an upcoming movie, Behemoth!, due to a busy schedule. Searchlight Pictures confirmed to Variety on January 7th that Harbour exited the film, citing the demanding promotional work for the final season of Stranger Things and a need for rest. He was originally set to star alongside Pedro Pascal and Olivia Wilde. The role is being recast, and producers are looking for an actor with a similar presence.

I’ve been noticing David Harbour was pretty much missing from all the recent Stranger Things final season press, and it got me thinking about his openness in the past regarding his personal struggles. He’s talked about battling alcoholism and, back in 2018 on Marc Maron’s WTF! podcast, he revealed something he’d never discussed publicly before: a period of intense religious exploration and a year and a half of sobriety. That’s when things took a turn, and he experienced a manic episode that led to a bipolar diagnosis and a stay in a facility. Thankfully, it sounds like he’s doing much better now, and he’s still got some exciting projects lined up, including returning as Red Guardian in the 2026 Avengers: Doomsday and Violent Night 2. Let’s all hope he’s feeling strong and ready to promote those films next Christmas – we need that Santa slayer back on the press circuit!
