"Marcus and myself, we all kind of worked on the music together and I don't know any other world where we would have the opportunity to collaborate like that but it was so much fun," Justin told the U.K.'s Capital FM. "So not only will that be a great movie, but the music to it will be fantastic.”

As for why Marcus and JT hooked up to begin with, one of the stars of Inside Llewyn Davis is actress Carey Mulligan, Marcus's wife.
