A Man Named Otto Release Date: Tom Hanks is often referred to as one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, but he’s set to play “the grumpiest man in America” in his new movie, A Man Called Otto.
Maybe Hanks is enjoying the opportunity to play against his typical nice guy image after playing Colonel Tom Parker in Elvis (though we’re guessing Otto learns some of his mistakes).

Many of you may be familiar with Hanks’ character’s journey, as A Man Called Otto is based on Fredrik Backman’s New York Times bestselling novel A Man Called Ove(opens in new tab), which was previously adapted into a film of the same name in 2015.

David Magee wrote the adaptation (Of the Life of Pi).
Who Will Appear in a Man Called Otto Cast?
Tom Hanks hardly requires an introduction. The two-time Oscar winner (Philadelphia, Forrest Gump) is one of the most admired actors in history. Following the previously mentioned Elvis and Disney’s live-action remake of Pinocchio, A Man Called Otto is the third film released in 2022 (even if it doesn’t debut until the final week of the year).
Mariana Treviso (Narcos: Mexico, Overboard), Rachel Keller (Tokyo Vice, Fargo), Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Greyhound), and Alessandra Perez (The Guilty) round out the cast of A Man Called Otto (Spidey and His Amazing Friends).
