Edgar Ramirez Joins the Cast of 'Borderlands' as Atlas!

Edgar Ramirez is joining the star-studded cast of Borderlands!

The 44-year-old actor will play Atlas in Eli Roth‘s upcoming adaptation of the popular video game series.

In the game, Atlas is a business titan and arms manufacturer, and the most powerful person in the universe.

The cast also includes Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Kevin Hart as Roland, Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, Florian Munteanu as Krieg, Jack Black as Claptrap and Haley Bennett as a new character.

“What an incredible honor to have an actor of Edgar’s caliber, talent, and charisma playing opposite Cate Blanchett and this remarkable cast,” Eli said in a statement. “Atlas has to be a truly magnetic personality, someone with charisma and charm but that air of menace underneath it all. I’ve been a fan of Edgar’s since his early performances and he continues to amaze me with each dramatic turn. We want to create something wild, fun, and very different from anything they’ve seen from Edgar before. I am so, so excited to work with him.”
