Possible lead actor for the Elden Ring movie could be a rising star on Netflix.
The Elden Ring movie continues to gather momentum as rising Netflix star Kit Connor is in negotiations to take the lead role. As reported by Deadline, Connor has discussions ongoing with director Alex Garland regarding the upcoming videogame film adaptation, having previously collaborated on the war movie Warfare.
Though a formal offer has yet to be extended, Connor's interest in the project appears to align with Garland's, with scheduling being the main obstacle to reaching a deal. Connor is also set to feature in an upcoming Heartstopper film produced by Netflix, with co-star Joe Locke recently revealing that the format change is due to a reduced time commitment needed for film production.
Originally announced by Bandai Namco, the upcoming Elden Ring movie has generated fervent discussion about casting and potential characters, with fans expressing strong interest in seeing Vyke, rather than the Tarnished hero of the 2022 open-world title, as the film's lead character. Other suggestions include Game of Thrones actor Charles Dance as Roundtable Hold leader Gideon.
In 2021, the game's director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, indicated to The Guardian that he would be open to an Elden Ring adaptation, providing a "very strong partner" became involved, expressing the need to entrust the project to experienced hands capable of creating a different medium. With the partnership between A24 and Bandai Namco Entertainment already established, and George R.R. Martin serving as a producer, it seems that the search for such a partner is underway, and actors are edging closer to traversing the mysterious lands of Elden Ring.
