News Elden Ring Elden Ring Movie Cast Revealed as Dark Fantasy Epic Gets 2028 Theatrical Release Date Alex Garland’s adaptation of the acclaimed game is shaping up nicely By Matthew Byrd | Published on April 20, 2026 Image: Bandai Namco Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Bandai Namco Writer and director Alex Garland’s Elden Ring adaptation got a major update today as A24 revealed the dark fantasy film’s release date, format, and full cast list. At present, A24 says the Elden Ring movie is set to be released in theaters on March 3, 2028. The studio also said that the movie is being filmed for IMAX, which perhaps speaks to both the scope of the project and the success of A24’s previous IMAX new releases and re-releases. It’s also worth noting that Alex Garland’s Civil War was previously one of A24’s most expensive productions (before Marty Supreme surpassed it in 2025), and early rumors suggest that Elden Ring is expected to become the studio’s most expensive film by some distance. If nothing else, its IMAX release supports the idea that the studio sees this as an epic. More impressive than the film’s rumored scope may is its cast. Here is the full confirmed cast for the Elden Ring movie as revealed by A24 and publisher Bandai Namco: Kit Connor Ben Whishaw Cailee Spaeny Tom Burke Havana Rose Liu Sonoya Mizuno Jonathan Pryce Ruby Cruz Nick Offerman John Hodgkinson Jefferson Hall Emma Laird Peter Serafinowicz The cast order above is the same that was shared on the Bandai Namco website and is presented here in the same format due to its potential implications. Specifically, Kit Connor is presented as the film’s lead, with Tom Burke, Ben Whishaw, and Cailee Spaeny all seemingly positioned as co-leads. Jonathan Pryce, Nick Offerman, John Hodgkinson, and Emma Laird all certainly stand out from the rest of the cast list, though it’s very much worth noting that none of these actors’ roles have been confirmed at this time. Given the desolate nature of the game’s world and the relatively minimal nature of its leading and supporting character list, it will be interesting to see how many of those actors will be playing existing characters and how many will be portraying new faces. For those who aren’t familiar with Elden Ring… well, we’ll just have to do something about that sometime down the line. For now, it’s enough to know that Elden Ring was a 2022 open-world action-adventure RPG developed by FromSoftware Inc. (the developers behind the Dark Souls franchise and Bloodborne). Like many of the studio’s other recent games, Elden Ring is a notoriously difficult experience that pushes you to your limits as you try to find possible solutions to seemingly impossible scenarios. It may also be the studio’s masterpiece. One of the most widely acclaimed games ever made, Elden Ring also went on to become one of the best-selling video games ever. Expectations are understandably high for this adaptation, as are hopes for what Alex Garland will do with this world, that is perhaps best compared to movies like The Green Knight and novels such as Between Two Fires. At least we now know when we’ll be able to see if this adaptation will live up to some considerable hype.[end-mark] The post <i>Elden Ring</i> Movie Cast Revealed as Dark Fantasy Epic Gets 2028 Theatrical Release Date appeared first on Reactor.
