Get to know the talented stars of the Netflix movie and who they play below!

Adam Sandler as Jakub Procházka

I think by now most of the world knows who Adam Sandler is, especially if you're a long-time Netflix subscriber as the actor and comedian has made several movies for the streaming service at this point, including Leo, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, Murder Mystery, Hustle, Hubie Halloween, and more.

Outside of Netflix, he's starred in a mixture of comedies and even some dramatic films like Uncut Gems. After breaking out on Saturday Night Live, Sandler has created a legendary career for himself, netting many accolades like five Emmy Award nominations and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

In his latest movie Spaceman, Sandler takes on another dramatic role by playing the astronaut Jakub Procházka. While on a lonely and isolating trip to the edge of the solar system, Jakub meets a creature from the beginning of time who helps him understand why his marriage is falling apart and where he's fallen short as a husband.

Carey Mulligan as Lenka

Carey Mulligan is another big-name actress and she's currently in the headlines for her acclaimed performance in the Academy Award-nominated movie Maestro, which has earned her a Best Actress nod at the upcoming Oscars, marking her third overall nomination after Promising Young Woman and An Education. Next, the English actress is slated to star in the comedy film One for the Money and the stop-motion fantasy Wildwood.

Mulligan plays Jakub's pregnant wife Lenka in Spaceman. Most of our time spent with her is through his various flashbacks while he talks to Hanuš on the space shuttle, but she also has her own journey in the movie as she grapples with her crumbling marriage and life with her husband gone so often.

Paul Dano as Hanuš

The Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor doesn't actually appear physically in Spaceman but you might have recognized his voice as the lovable creature that is Hanuš, a being from the beginning of time itself who takes an interest in Jakub and his inner turmoil.

Dano is an acclaimed actor who has starred in many films throughout the years, including Little Miss Sunshine, There Will Be Blood, Prisoners, 12 Years A Slave, The Batman, The Fabelmans, Dumb Money, and more.
