The secrets of Pandora will be unfolding soon on the silver screen as the Borderlands movie gets an official release date. This over-the-top looter shooter will feature an ensemble of cast for its live-action adaptation. We will list the lineup of actors in this article along with the information on its release date and platforms where you can watch the Borderlands movie.
The new Borderlands film will be distributed by Lionsgate Films and directed by Eli Roth. The story is also written by Eli Roth, with Joe Crombie working alongside him on the screenplay.
Meet the Cast of Borderlands Movie
Main Characters
Cate Blanchett as Lilith
Two-time Academy Award-winning Australian actress Cate Blanchett will portray Lilith the Siren on screen. She is an important character and one of the four initial vault hunters the players can control in the first game. She also plays a significant supporting role in the series’ follow-up games. Witnessing Lilith’s special phase walking ability in motion pictures will be fascinating.
Kevin Hart as Roland
Prominent American comedian and actor Kevin Hart will play the role of Roland the Soldier in the movie. In the game, Roland is a former Crimson Lance soldier and a highly skilled military personnel working for the Atlas corporation. As a result, he is extremely efficient in using different types of firearms. Given that Hart is best renowned for his comedic parts, seeing if he can carry off such a role will be intriguing.
Jack Black as Claptrap
Jack Black, who recently gained attention for his performance as Bowser in the Super Mario Bros. movie, will play Claptrap in the upcoming Borderlands film. Claptrap is the obnoxious, chatty, and crudely humorous little robot that mostly acts as a guide and provides the players with quests. He is a character equally loved and hated by the community. We are sure that Jack Black can bring the robot to life with his impeccable performance.
Jamie Lee Curtis as Dr. Patricia Tannis
Jamie Lee Curtis is the most recent recipient of the Oscars in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once. She is going to fill the shoes of eccentric scientist Dr. Patricia Tannis. In the game, she seems to be slowly getting mad throughout her research. We wonder if we will see the same in the movie.
Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina
Tiny Tina is the pint-sized demolition expert first appearing in Borderlands 2. 15-year-old actress Ariana Greenblatt will portray this character. She appeared in Avengers: Infinity War as a young Gamora, so you might recognize her from that movie. With Tina’s love for blowing up things, her appearance will be a blast on screen.
Florian Munteanu as Krieg
The German-Romanian actor Florian Munteanu will portray the emotionally unstable Kreig, a playable character in Borderlands 2. In our opinion, the actor is the ideal choice to showcase the violent and psychosis-based suffering of the character.
