Roskam.[14] In the same year, he was cast as Roy Cady in the film adaptation of Nic Pizzolatto's novel Galveston, directed by Janus Metz Pedersen.[15]

In 2015, he will appear in The Loft, the American remake of the Belgian Loft in which he played the same character. He will also appear in Suite Française playing German soldier Bruno von Falk opposite Michelle Williams and Kristin Scott Thomas.[19] He has also signed on in Alan Rickman's period drama A Little Chaos as French landscape architect André Le Nôtre opposite Kate Winslet[20] Schoenaerts will play one of the leads of Luca Guadagnino's thriller A Bigger Splash (a re-interpretation of the classic Romy Schneider movie La Piscine), starring opposite Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes.[21] He will be the lead of Alice Winocour's French thriller Maryland, as a soldier suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder[22] and will play a gallery-owner[23] in Tom Hooper's The Danish Girl.[24]
