Elisabeth Moss set for Taika Waititi football film

Small screen it-girl Elisabeth Moss will star in the next film for “Jojo Rabbit” and “Thor Ragnarok” director Taika Waititi.

The Emmy and Golden Globe Winner will join “X-Men” franchise staple Michael Fassbender in a sports dramedy based on a 2014 documentary about an underdog football team.

“Next Goal Wins”, housed at Fox Searchlight, sees Fassbender play the coach of an American Somoa team who transform from losers into FIFA-cup worthy stars.

Waititi will direct “Next Goal Wins” before tackling the next “Thor” film, which will feature Natalie Portman’s female God of Thunder, er, ‘Jane’.
