Kit Connor Might Lead the Elden Ring Live-Action Movie
Rumors are flying that Netflix star Kit Connor, known for Heartstopper, might land the lead role in the upcoming Elden Ring live-action movie. Deadline reports that Connor has been in talks with Alex Garland, the movie’s director and writer.
The two recently worked together on the film Warfare, so there’s already some teamwork between them. But, as of now, no formal offer has been confirmed.
Alex Garland, famous for directing Civil War, is helming this adaptation with the support of A24, the studio also behind the Death Stranding movie. Bandai Namco and George R.R. Martin are also connected to the project, adding even more star power.
Fans are already speculating which character Connor might play, with some hoping for Vyke or other iconic figures rather than just the Tarnished hero from the game.
What Fans Should Expect
If Connor is chosen, this will be his biggest acting gig yet, likely boosting him to global fame. The Elden Ring movie is expected to follow the dark, epic style that fans love, but exact plot details are still under wraps. Meanwhile, director Hidetaka Miyazaki has expressed trust in letting strong partners handle the game adaptation, saying FromSoftware lacks the movie-making experience to lead it themselves.
With Elden Ring’s massive popularity, the movie has a lot riding on it. And while fans wait for more casting news, they can look forward to the game’s spinoff, Elden Ring: Nightreign, which just released and is stirring up lots of discussion among players and critics alike.
