After starring in last year’s The Marvels, MCU breakout Iman Vellani has finally found her next major movie project in the form of Shiver, the upcoming adaptation of Maggie Stiefvater’s bestselling YA fantasy novel. This serves as Vellani’s first non-Marvel project, after over two years since her acting debut in Disney+’s Ms. Marvel series.
Who is in the Shiver cast?
Besides Vellani, Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets), Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games), Sofia Wylie (High School Musical: The Musical Series), Ross Butler (Shazam! Fury of the Gods), Alicia Witt (Longlegs), and Lyon Daniels (The Spiderwick Chronicles) have also joined the Shiver cast, which will be led by Maddie Ziegler (My Old Ass) and Levi Miller (Kraven the Hunter). Further details about their respective characters are still being kept under wraps.
The film is being directed by Claire McCarthy from a screenplay written by McCarthy and Jett Tattersall. It is produced by Ziegler, Addam Bramich, Ryan Hamilton, Volodymyr Artemenko, and Jeanette Volturno, with Anna Todd set as an executive producer. It is a production by Simple House Films and CatchLight Studios. At the moment, the cast and crew are now in production in Vancouver, Canada.

“Shiver follows Grace, who was attacked by a pack of wolves as a child. However, one of them—a yellow-eyed wolf — saved her, creating an inexplicable bond between them,” reads the official synopsis (via Deadline). “Years later, she meets a young man named Sam with the exact same yellow eyes and immediately feels a connection to him. Their love story unfolds against the backdrop of mystical events, mysterious disappearances, and intrigues that reveal to Grace the true nature of Sam and his connection to the wolves. At the same time, as winter approaches, Sam must fight to hold on to his humanity — or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.”
