On June 17, Norman Reedus joined fellow cast members Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, and others for the red carpet event of the Los Angeles premiere of the Focus Feature film The Bikeriders. Reedus, known for his role as Daryl Dixon in The Walking Dead universe, now takes on a different role with a dramatic change in his appearance.

The film hits theaters on Friday, June 21, and is directed by Jeff Nichols, known for Take Shelter (2011) and Mud (2012). Nichols had the idea for a biker film for years before actually beginning the project in 2022. Titled after Danny Lyons' photography book, the story is set in the 1960s during a rebellious time in America and follows a midwestern biker club.

The Midwest bike club, The Vandals, is led by Johnny (Tom Hardy) and was established as a gathering place for the local outcasts. The newest member, Benny (Austin Butler), meets strong-willed Kathy (Jodie Comer), and they hit it off. Over a decade, the club evolves into something violent and criminal, this will require Benny to make some tough life decisons.

Hardy, Butler, and Comer are joined by an all-star lineup that includes Reedus, Michael Shannon, who has starred in every feature by director Nicholes, Mike Faist, Boyd Holdbrook, Damon Harriman, Beau Knapp, Emory Cohen, Karl Glusman, Toby Wallace, and Happy Anderson.
