A new face joins the cast of "The Doll." He'll play a man of science and progress.

The latest adaptation of Bolesław Prus's "The Doll," directed by Maciej Kawalski, will hit theaters next year. Filip Pławiak has joined the cast as Julian Ochocki, Izabela Łęcka's cousin and a technological enthusiast. The film will also feature Marcin Dorociński, Kamila Urzędowska, and Marek Kondrat, among others.

Maciej Kawalski's adaptation of "The Doll" promises to be one of the most spectacular adaptations, with an all-star cast joined by Filip Pławiak. The actor, acclaimed by audiences for his role in "Chyłka," will play Julian Ochocki. He says he shares a "desire to discover and create" with the character.

"Julian Ochocki is Izabela Łęcka's cousin, a man of science and progress, fascinated by technology and a belief in the future. In a world full of appearances and glitz, Ochocki is someone who truly wants to 'pin humanity's wings,'" we read in the official announcement posted on the production's official Instagram profile.

Filip Pławiak, whom viewers know well from his performances in films such as "White Courage", for which he received the Eagle statuette - the Polish Film Academy Award, "The Red Spider", and "A Simple Story About Murder", will probably find his place in this role perfectly.

He himself notices certain similarities with his hero.

"What connects me with Ochocki is the desire to discover and create. Although in slightly different spaces, with the same passion," he said.

The screen adaptation of Bolesław Prus's novel, directed by Maciej Kawalski , will feature Kamila Urzędowska as Izabela Łęcka, Marcin Dorociński as Stanisław Wokulski, and Marek Kondrat as Ignacy Rzecki after many years of absence from the screen.

On screen, viewers will also see Andrzej Seweryn, Agata Kulesza, Krystyna Janda, Maja Komorowska, Borys Szyc, Maja Ostaszewska, Mateusz Damięcki, and Cezary Żak.

Filming for "The Doll" began on July 22, 2025, and will end on December 20, as previously announced.
