In terms of TV shows, they really don’t get much better than The Sopranos. And now, there’s a major update on the long-confirmed Sopranos prequel movie.

Courtesy of Deadline, it’s now been revealed that Michael Gandolfini will be playing the role of young Tony Soprano in the ‘60s-set The Many Saints of Newark. Of course, Michael’s father James Gandolfini famously played Tony in The Sopranos.

To date, 19-year-old Michael is likely best known for appearing in HBO’s The Deuce, with The Sopranos’ David Chase revealing that the actor landed the Tony Soprano role due to his “screen presence, mastery of Tony’s mannerisms” and the unique insight that he has on the character.

Largely focussed on Tony’s father, Johnny Soprano, The Many Saints of Newark will also star Alessandro Nivola, Vera Farmiga, Jon Bernthal, Billy Magnussen and Corey Stoll.

As ever, expect more on The Many Saints of Newark as it continues to develop.
