Ford v. Ferrari is an upcoming action biographical drama film directed by James Mangold. It stars Christian Bale and Matt Damon while Caitriona Balfe, Noah Jupe, Remo Girone, Jon Bernthal and Tracy Letts have been signed in supporting roles. The film follows an eccentric, determined team of American engineers and designers, led by automotive visionary Carroll Shelby and his British driver, Ken Miles, who are dispatched by Henry Ford II and Lee Iacocca with the mission of building from scratch an entirely new automobile with the potential to finally defeat the perennially dominant Ferrari at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France.

It is scheduled to be released on November 15, 2019, by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures under the 20th Century Fox banner.

Production
A movie based on the rivalry between Ford and Ferrari for the dominance at Le Mans endurance race has been in works at 20th Century Fox. Initially it was going to star Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt from an original screenplay by Jason Keller, but the project fell apart after a script was drafted by writers Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth. On February 5, 2018, it was announced that James Mangold has been brought on board to direct a movie about the rivalry between Ford and Ferrari leading up to 1966 Le Mans race based on the previous script by Jason Keller, Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth. Later on Caitriona Balfe, Jon Bernthal and Noah Jupe joined the cast. In July 2018, Jack McMullen was cast in the film to play one of Miles' key British mechanics, and Tracy Letts also joined to play Henry Ford II, along with Joe Williamson. In August 2018, JJ Feild was cast in the film to play the automotive engineer, Roy Lunn, the head of Ford Advanced vehicles in England and the right-hand man to Henry Ford II. Composer Marco Beltrami confirmed in an interview that he would be scoring the film, Beltrami previously worked with Mangold on 3:10 to Yuma, The Wolverine and Logan.
