The live-action Elden Ring movie is coming. As we reported before, an unlikely duo, A24 and Alex Garland, have teamed up to bring this video game adaptation to life. But hey, George R. R. Martin gave the film his vote of confidence, so who are we to argue? And now, Bandai Namco and A24 have revealed a few major details to fans. The live-action Elden Ring movie has an official release date and cast. When will this video game film release, and who will star in Alex Garland’s movie? We break it down below.
Live-Action Elden Ring Movie Release Date
So, when will the Elden Ring movie release? The new video game movie will release on March 3, 2028.
In full, a release shares: “Bandai Namco Entertainment and A24 announced that the live-action adaptation of the fantasy game Elden Ring, written and directed by Alex Garland, will be filmed for IMAX and released on March 3, 2028.”
Live-Action Elden Ring Movie Cast
In addition to its release date, the live-action Elden Ring movie has also announced its cast. Here’s who will star in the film:
- Kit Connor (Warfare, Heartstopper)
- Ben Whishaw (Skyfall, Paddington)
- Cailee Spaeny (Alien: Romulus, Civil War)
- Tom Burke (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Black Bag)
- Havana Rose Liu (Bottoms)
- Sonoya Mizuno (Ex Machina)
- Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes)
- Ruby Cruz (Willow, Bottoms)
- Nick Offerman (The Last of Us)
- John Hodgkinson
- Jefferson Hall
- Emma Laird
- Peter Serafinowicz
That’s quite the loaded cast for the Elden Ring movie. Kit Connor, of course, we love in Netflix’s queer hit, Heartstopper. And Ben Wishaw has been our favorite Q in the latest series of James Bond movies. Meanwhile, Cailee Spaeny really crushed it in Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, which we at Nerdist enjoyed. Other names like Jonathan Pryce and Nick Offerman also catch our eye. Offerman is really becoming a mainstay of live-action video game adaptation movies—and we’re excited to see him in Elden Ring.
