Borderlands had a lot of charm and witty writing especially Borderlands 2. Idk how they're going to translate that to the big screen.

You guys kinda of jumping the gun here:francis:. Lot of actors have made the leap to dramatic and action / vilain roles. At least let the man cook and see what he does before dancing on his grave:hhh:. You didnt see whites hammering Jim Carey when he made a switch.

Drago Jr as Krieg :ehh:

'Creed II' Actor Florian Munteanu Joining Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart in 'Borderlands' Movie (Exclusive)

Florian Munteanu, who played Viktor Drago in Creed II, is in final negotiations to join Eli Roth’s high-flying adaptation of popular video game Borderlands for Lionsgate.

The boxer-turned-actor will join an A-list call sheet that includes Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black and The One and Only Ivan’s Ariana Greenblatt in the project that brings to life Gearbox Software and 2K’s first-person shooter game.

The game features a motley group that travels to a distant planet in search of fables riches and alien technology.

The 6’4, 235-pound Munteanu will play Krieg, the musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector of Tiny Tina, the unstable 13-year-old explosive expert being played by Greenblatt.

"Florian brings real humanity and multiple layers to a character who on the surface seems totally insane and brutally savage,” said Roth in a statement. “Krieg was by far the most difficult role to cast, and Florian brought him to life and grounded him in a way that I didn’t know was possible. He’s going to be a brilliant Krieg and will fit in perfectly with our incredible cast.”

The rest of the line up sees Blanchett as Lilith, a woman with great superpowers, Hart is legendary thief Roland, Curtis is archeologist and scientist Dr. Tannis, while Black is Claptrap, an enthusiastic robot.

Production begins mid-April in Hungary.

Craig Mazin wrote the latest draft of Borderlands. The feature is being produced by Avi Arad and Ari Arad via their Arad Productions along with Erik Feig of Picturestart.

James Myers and Aaron Edmonds are overseeing the project on behalf of Lionsgate. Emmy Yu is overseeing the film for Arad Productions. Lucy Kitada and Royce Reeves-Darby are shepherding for Picturestart.

Randy Pitchford, executive producer of the Borderlands video game franchise and founder of the Gearbox Entertainment Company, and Strauss Zelnick, chairman and CEO of Take-Two, are exec producing.

Munteanu made his feature acting debut with the hard-hitting Drago role opposite Michael B. Jordan in Creed II. The success of that movie got him noticed by Marvel, who then cast him as Razor Fist in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, set for release July 9. He will also be seen in Thunder Road’s Violence of Action.

Munteanu is repped by Gersh and attorney Patti Felker.

Borderlands Movie Synopsis Revealed
"Lilith (Blanchett), an infamous outlaw with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of the universe’s most powerful S.O.B., Atlas (Ramirez). Lilith forms an alliance with an unexpected team – Roland (Hart), a former elite mercenary, now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina’s musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis (Curtis), the scientist with a tenuous grip on sanity; and Claptrap (Black), a persistently wiseass robot. These unlikely heroes must battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to find and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power. The fate of the universe could be in their hands – but they’ll be fighting for something more: each other."
