Bernthal will be playing Lee Iacocca, the Ford marketing executive who went on to become the President and CEO of Chrysler, opposite Matt Damon’s Carol Shelby, the engineer hired by Henry Ford II to build the world’s fastest car, and Christian Bale’s race car driver Ken Miles, who helps develop and race the Ford GT-40.
