Oscar winner Cate Blanchett will take a leading role in Eli Roth’s upcoming movie adaptation of Gearbox’s Borderlands series.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Blanchett – whose credits include the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Thor: Ragnarok, and Roth’s 2018 adaptation of The House with a Clock in its Walls – will play as Lilith, described as a “siren and legendary thief equipped with magical skills”.
Borderlands fans will perhaps best know Lilith as one of the original game’s four playable characters, but she’s made frequent return visits to the series since then, appearing as an NPC in Borderlands 2, the Pre-Sequel, and Borderlands 3.
