Following the success of ''[[Winter Boy]]'', Kircher was originally slated to play the male lead in [[Catherine Breillat]]'s erotic drama ''[[Last Summer (2023 film)|Last Summer]]'' (''L'Été dernier''). However, the shooting was delayed, after which the actor was considered too old for the part intended for him. He then recommended his brother Samuel, who was not active in cinema, to the director, who ultimately awarded him the role.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Cooper-Hadjian|first=Olivia|date=13 April 2023|title=Catherine Breillat : L'Été dernier|url=https://www.cahiersducinema.com/actualites/catherine-breillat-lete-dernier/|magazine=[[Cahiers du Cinéma]]|language=fr|access-date=16 April 2023}}</ref> Kircher was instead cast in a main role alongside [[Romain Duris]] and [[Adèle Exarchopoulos]] in [[Thomas Cailley]]'s science fiction adventure film ''[[The Animal Kingdom (2023 film)|The Animal Kingdom]]'' (''Le Règne animal''),<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Felperin|first=Leslie|date=17 May 2023|title='The Animal Kingdom' Review: Romain Duris and Adèle Exarchopoulos in a Sensitive French Sci-Fi Adventure|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/the-animal-kingdom-review-romain-duris-adele-exarchopoulos-1235493701/|magazine=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|access-date=20 May 2023}}</ref> which screened as the opening film of the [[Un Certain Regard]] section at the [[2023 Cannes Film Festival|76th Cannes Film Festival]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/441012/|title=Young talents abound in Cannes' Un Certain Regard|work=[[Cineuropa]]|date=13 April 2023|access-date=16 May 2023|first=Fabien|last=Lemercier}}</ref>
