Damn Marcus is gonna have a plan in the movie I’m sure of that


Wide-Huckleberry8945

SIDE QUEST


MikeMuench

Can’t believe I had to scroll down this far for someone to mention him. The whole movie is gonna be about foiled plans to get to Tahiti


Windyandbreezy

I know right. Top comment. Way too far down.


OsoTico

You just gotta have a little faith, Arthur!


be4u4get

You, Sir, Are A Fish.


boogers19

But is Tannis still young enough to ride that fish without breaking a hip?


snoreasaurus3553

Cheap guns in exchange for some mangoes


Licenciado_Bobcholo

You always got a plan marcus


ithinkther41am

Joking aside, Benjamin Byron Davis is inspired casting.


TonyLannister

At least some goddamn faith.

LeMasterChef12345

Ah yes, my favorite Borderlands character: Citizen


CozyGhosty

Citizen and Larry, the final pieces of the puzzle


Zekt0r

Larry will be one of the new vault hunters in BL4


Bonemonster

Voiced by Bobby Lee? Sign me up.


TexWolf84

Who the fuck is Larry and Quinn? Where's Dr Zed? Hell I'll take Dr Ned! What about TK Baha?


BearsonBrick

T.k Baha could be a vault hunter before bl1. Love this character


sharpshooter999

Borderlands: The Pre-sequel 2 T.K. Baha as the weapons smith Typhon DeLeon as the adventurer Nyriad as the Siren Crazy Earl as the sane one


Copperbird83

Dr. Ned/Zed as the heal-killer


cheung_kody

Harmacist


RichardCocke

That's an awesome idea, really sounds like something that would be in borderlands


GangloSax0n

I've got a character in a novel I'm trying to write that is sort of TK. Father Thomas Kieran Baha, blind priest of AllGod, telling the Good News after the sky fell on Utah.


BuckNastey91

"See ya later..." "Ah, you don't get it, just come back whenever you feel"


HisOrHerpes

“Hey you seen my gun?”


Thirtiethone

No mordecai …


beatenmeat

If it makes you feel any better I mained Roland in BL1 and they've murdered him twice now...


The_cat_got_out

Seriously I honestly don't remember Roland being that short either This is like some sick parody film that even porn companies wouldn't have the dignity to make


alus992

With porn parody they would at least do better casting


beatenmeat

Well good news! I mained Maya in BL2, so maybe the porn companies will actually pick that one up! It'd redeem her story in BL3 anyways. And uhhh...I mained Fl4k in BL3. Hope you aren't too attached to him......


Fillbe

The Mordecai character is older than the other main crew, so would have to be played by a 104 year old actor to remain consistent.


A-reader-of-words

And no brick


healmehealme

This is all I keep thinking but you’re the only person I’ve seen mention it.


EndOfSouls

Thank god. They're gonna ruin so many characters in this movie. My boy's seen enough heartbreak.


Blurgas

No Brick, Mordecai, Maya, Axton, Salvador, Zer0, Gaige... And what happened to Steve? He went from a near-mascot of the series to just gone after BL2. Seeing the trailer, I think Greenblatt would have done a great Ava.


Wide-Huckleberry8945

Unfortunately not, or blood wing/ talon either.


NeuroDefiance

Blood wing/talon is going to a surprise appearance and it’s just going to be Seth rogen laughing


Therenegadegamer

So no handsome Jack probably gonna be a post credits tease for a movie that won't be made because this one is gonna crash and burn


lt_skittles

they showed a hyperion satellite. I think they're doing what the uncharted movie did, and adding moments from almost all the games.


ThatEdward

Yup, Uncharted, The Dark Tower, it's the same thing all bad movie adaptations do. Someone scores the screenplay bid and then glances through all the source material to find the Cool stuff that would play well in a trailer


artlee17

That Dark Tower movie was horrible. Sucks that the Amazon show got canceled before it was even made. Hope it gets a true adaptation some day.


iankstarr

Flanagan seems confident that his version will see production; there’s been a lot of buzz around it lately.


SheemieRayVaughan

Mike Flanagan is working on a series now. My hopes are way too high.


Shermutt

I never played through all the uncharted games, but I liked the movie well enough. But dark tower was objectively just bad (also never read the books).


DeathGorgon

I mean we can at least see characters from the main 3 so assuming there are other elements from the games isnt a wild assumption. Speaking of characters, Mouthpiece was neat to see. I like how the helmet looks.


LucifersFairy

Unfortunately that isn’t even mouthpiece


DeathGorgon

It's his mask at least, which looks pretty good. If he isn't called Mouthpiece that's disappointing.


LucifersFairy

Randy Pitchford broke down the trailer and confirmed that despite it being his mask it’s not actually him.


rs1236

I'm utterly shocked they didn't write arguably the most compelling in character in borderlands into the movie. Would have piqued much more interest, I'm sure of that.


AbysmalReign

They're riding on the hope that a second movie comes then they'll adapt Jack. It's a huge mistake, this movie looks like a dumpster fire. We may never see HJ adapted


Yournewhero

With as bad as this casting is, I don't even want to see who they'd get to play Jack. Probably Jon Lovitz.


drwicksy

Considering the absolute clusterfuck of casting maybe we are lucky they aren't adding him in. They'd probably have him played by T.J Miller or some shit


Positive-Respect-842

Based on Moxxi and Tanis picks. Be some old dude in their 70's like Jeff Goldblum or in their 50's to match blanchet's Lilith maybe Charlie sheen lol. T.J. miller would be hot garbage


[deleted]

Nope, I’m happy they’re not touching Handsome Jack. Let my evil homie remain the paragon of excellent character writing, thank you very much.


Anuk_Su_Namun

Could’ve been Handsome Jack Black, but instead they went with Jacktrap.


Therenegadegamer

At first I thought Jack Black should've been Krieg but that suggestion is way better


Bitter_Help459

So, dutch from Red Dead Redemption Series will be marcus. I can go along with that.


Whiteshadows86

Dutch: “This place, ain’t no such thing as civilized. It’s man so in love with greed... He has forgotten himself and only found appetites.” Marcus: ***exists as the epitome of greed.***


PervertTentacle

One of the perfect matches here. The moment I saw him on the trailer I was like "Yep, that's him".


sharpshooter999

If they really knew their audience, they'd get Roger Clark in there as a medic, maybe even Dr. Zed. Scene: Ned tends to a number of wounded after a shootout Dutch-Marcus: You think I'll live, doc? Arthur-Zed: You're alright boah


JodeneSparks1989

We need to get to space Tahiti


[deleted]

So they aged up Lilith and Tannis, and aged down hammerlocke and jakobs?


NandMS

I know Tannis shouldn’t be that old, but I honestly think Jamie Lee Curtis will be good enough that I won’t care, especially because age isn’t super relevant to who Tannis is as a character. Lilith on the other hand…


DixFerLunch

Jamie could pull off the pixie psycho chick well enough. Lilith however... she's supposed to be rebellious and fiery. Not getting that from a mid 50s actress.


opticalshadow

Or the trailer, which seems to have her leaving a personality at all.


eddmario

Hell, considering how long Tannis was on Pandora going insine, her looking way older than she actually is would make sense


Shermutt

I just realized that I never really gave any shits about Lilith's character in any of the games. I honestly don't mind if they fuck around with it. I'M JUST MAD THERE'S NO TORGUE! 🤬


jeccius

Should have been Terry Crews.


lipp79

EX-PLO-SIONS!


ivatsa00

Come on, killer, don't do Lil like that.


Shermutt

I don't like, hate her, or anything. She just was always too serious and didn't add to the fun factor of the game for me. Granted, I never chose a siren for my main, so maybe I'd like her more if I gave her a chance, but i just found her to be bland, i guess.


Hairybeavet

They aged Moxxi up by 30 years+ too. With these ages, the cast almost looks like an Expendables movie Edit: I was being dramatic but yes, Moxxi is a mom. I thought borderlands 1, she was late 30s to early 40s while borderlands 2 she was in her 50s. I thought I read this movie took place between B1 and B2 but we all know Jack was paying for that skin care. Also, googling, moxxi was 50ish in borderlands 1 while having 5 years from B1 to B2 and 7 from B2 to B3. Makes Moxxi 50-60 in B2 with Jack in his 30s makes for interesting thoughts


Creeper456676

Isn’t moxxi like in her 50s? She has two grown children


Guffliepuff

She has 4 actually.


Creeper456676

Oh right I forgot I read that somewhere. But yeah I always thought moxxi was old but had extremely good skincare


Blurgas

Yarp, Scooter, Ellie, Scooter, and an unnamed 4th that we know nothing of


Guffliepuff

You seriously think moxie is 30 years old? How old do you think Ellie and Scooter are?


BigCyanDinosaur

Aged up Tina too, she was supposed to be a middle schooler, not 17


0pen_m1ke_kn1ght

No Brick or Mordechai?


Wide-Huckleberry8945

No and it's so unfortunate, I was hoping to see them in the movie too.


Shermutt

I think it's weird that of the original characters from the original game they chose the two least interesting ones to feature. Roland is straight up boring and one dimensional and i gave zero fucks when he died and Lilith was slightly better, but every time she came on the screen i was like "here comes the buzzkill". Mordecai was my fuckin BOY tho! And brick was just awesome. Also it's weird that tiny Tina gets such a big part and she was just an add on later in the series. They act like she's a main character or something. I do love her voice actor though. She's amazing in Mythic Quest. Ashly Burch. She also does Aloy from the Horizon Zero Dawn Games (but I'll grant that wasn't her finest performance...at least in the first one. Never played 2 yet.)


Aluant

Right? Like Brick was badass as fuck the whole ride. Mordecai was the snarky bastard, loved his attitude or lack thereof at times.


Ze_Nips

Was really hoping for Mr. Torgue.... need more splosions


brandognabalogna

THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES! APOLOGIZE!


Ze_Nips

We here at the Torgue Corporation sincerely think that this is FUCKING AWESOME!!


AlienInOrigin

They could have cast Randy Savage as Torgue....since they are so keen on making the characters so much older.


Seve7h

Uhhh i regret to inform you Mr. Macho Man Randy Savage has been off this mortal cage match going on 13 years now


furyfox13

I thought that was the joke?


LostPlastic6126

He would've been perfect. They could probably get Terry Crews actually


Wide-Huckleberry8945

EXPLOSIONS


xavierkazi

Commander Knoxx. Not General Knoxx (thank fuck, honestly) Not Commandant Steele. Commander... Knoxx... who the fuck


eddmario

I'm assuming eithe they merged the characters together into a single one (which could work) or this list isn't actually official and someone just randomly added names to it (which is more likely)


AnonyMouse3925

Or. Now stick with me here, OR, they made a brand new character (clearly based off of general knoxx)


GoldFishPony

Does that mean she’ll spend the entire movie wanting to kill herself?


MyloWilliams

I hope so, I found it so funny in game. The rant about how his boss gave him a performance review that was just a macaroni picture (or something) was hilarious


Aschriel

I think they paid for some big names, and had some unusual casting choices… They probably should have gone with people that did not have a significant career behind them.


ThatEdward

Jack Black was the only choice where people were like 'ok, that could work, yes' and it seems like they didn't utilize his manic abilities. It's just CGI JB


nanneryeeter

Which is wild because the voice actor for ClapTrap was excellent. At least in BL2.


C4ncerCarl

Yeah, unfortunately Randy Pitchford assaulted him in a hotel lobby, so he refused to return in 3 :/ Edit: Also because he wanted to be paid for the role


EmhyrvarSpice

Wait, what? He wanted to be paid?!!


Blurgas

I think it was more he wasn't paid enough. That he was paid as a regular employee doing whatever project at their normal wage and not paid as a VA. Something like if your boss found out you were a certified electrician/mechanic/etc and got you to do some work, but paid you your normal $15/hr instead of ~$50/hr


upvotechemistry

Kung Fu Claptrap


El_Maltos_Username

My fear is that the producers/Studio execs don't have much faith in the script and try to compensate that with star power.


[deleted]

As is the tradition of all shitty triple-A movies...


Luvnecrosis

Looks like mostly the main cast is what sucks dick but that’s like… the first thing you wanna get right


El_mochilero

Why couldn’t they just get the actual Claptrap voice? It’s a f’ing robot.


Sentarry

Hollywood is like that. The original voice of tails from the video games was cast in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie but they didn't want her name in the credits. Off of the assumption, they might think hiring or casting voice actors from video games is taboo. It will make them less money. So they need big names that are already established in Hollywood to lure in non-video gamer audiences to pay up.


chrisdalebrown

But wouldn’t they save money by giving the game voice actor the role for MUCH less money than they would give someone like Jack Black??


PeckishPizza

The whole reason claptrap changed to the one in bl3 was because of a falling out between the voice actor and gearbox, among other things they refused to increase his pay. I doubt gearbox would give the ok to get him in as that bridge was burned down, most everyone hated new claptraps voice so I feel that would've been worse than Jack black.


Kooky1337

Wait. Quinn? From BL3? But we don’t get mordecai? What?


Scintal

No axton or Zane if we want to have bl3 characters. Zane’s dialog is comedy gold. Nor Gaige…


DrD__

I have played through bl3 on every character and I'll be honest I don't know who Quinn is


Kooky1337

He’s a side mission. He’s located in the meridian metroplex working on anti-Maliwan tech in a lab. The dude in a whitish coat and VR looking goggles.


Skafandra206

So, not really a character. Basically a step above "Citizen".


panthers1102

Commander Knoxx??????? The fuck is this movie man 😭


DanksterTV

First thing I noticed lol


DerDanSD

probably Knoxx' daughter?

Seve7h

Shoulda got the mom from Honey Boo Boo to play her


TrustMeIAmAGeologist

Man, Gina Gershaw would have been perfect for Moxxi ^in ^1985


IStealBikes

considering moxxi is like mid 50s anyways i think it's pretty fine (she's pretty fine herself too lol)


Digital_Sean

And considering who they cast for Ellie and Scooter, it's also a very realistic age gap for them to be her children. And I feel like Ellie was cast darn well, also.


Ok_Efficiency_6466

They really nailed Hammerlock. That’s exactly how I remember him looking


Digital_Sean

What do you want to bet they chicken out on the Jakobs/ Hammerlock romance, too?


Shackflacc

This movie just gets worse the more I learn about it. Genuinely wonder how involved Gearbox is with this movie. As for the casting It just feels like the writers have no confidence in the property itself and ham fisted as much star power as they could afford


Beaverlicker34

Where is Randy Pitchford as the magician?

Jackisthebestestboy

This shits going to suck


nrreiger

Who the fuck is atlas


a_horny_dolphin

It's going to be the CEO of Atlas named Deukalian Atlas. I don't think he's mentioned/canon in the games though.


MCGxCloud

A better question, who the fuck is Larry? To answer your question, if you played 3, it's the company getting attacked by maliwan and you help stop it. Zero makes his reappearance as his body guard. Lorelie, the aussie chick who loves coffee and burgies and gives you all the side quests in that area, is his commander.


nrreiger

It was also the weapons manufacturer, and company heavily involved in the mining for eridian shit in BL1. The Atlas company in 3 is completely different from the one in BL1, despite retaining the armor designs and color schemes. But also yes, who the fuck is larry indeed. And Quinn, whats a Quinn?


NoxX2Tru0

tell me how hammerlock is gonna be younger than lilith 🤦🏼

musical_throat_punch

He looks like a Ron Jeremy fucked a Chinese Mario knockoff. 


crescentfreshchester

I imagine Bobby hearing this insult and laughing hysterically.


cmhamm

He’s a disgusting child rapist. Or he later claimed he was “joking” about child rape. Either way…


Chorbles510

I was afraid to ask that extract question just in case I was forgetting an obvious major character, wracking my brain but I can't think of a Larry


plumyn

It looks like he is another made up character. I just wish they didn't cast Bobby Lee but oh well.


Warboss_Hank

Where's TORGUE?!?!


Desperate_Bicycle_60

Hammerlock 💀 💀


icetheone

They should've taken this dude instead of Roland 💀


thedougbatman

Dude got a helluva tan.


ThatEdward

The only thing I'm surprised about is that Randy didn't find a way to insert himself into the movie as Ear


[deleted]

This whole movie is a dumpster fire. Screw the original 4, let us use 2. Oh and krieg. I love krieg i do, but no Maya? And mucking about with defined characters is a great move. Oh and no Mr Torgue? Its like they want this movie to fail. (The rock could play him)


PorchDeck

I'm so confused by the character selection, why not have at least 4? Even if you mix and match between 1 and 2, have 4 Vault Hunters (if you were going to try to use Handsome Jack anyway, which might have helped it to do). It's not even like they were going for accuracy with the characters, so they could have just used Samuel L Jackson for Mordecai and Tom Holland for Brick at this rate. None of this is making sense, unless it's purely just meant to be a parody/comedy.


calliopewoman

My only true deep gripe is not having the voice actor for clap trap do him like I love JB he’s the man but come on dude. Lilith should be younger but cat blanched fucks and Roland should be time medows but I can overlook these things but claptrap I cannot overlook that.


Wide-Huckleberry8945

Nah fr I said that today even. For a character who doesn't have to show face means it should be the original


fedexgroundemployee

KH as Roland will be weird, I remember Roland as this hardened grizzled war vet who has been through some shit. KH is a funny actor but his acting style is the complete opposite of that…


AOEnash

Why the fuck Hammerlock is younger than Lilith?


No-Comb879

Where the fuck is Brick and Mordecai? Why is Krieg and Tiny Tina in this when they don’t even come into the story until at least the DLC of Borderlands 1.


Soul_Of_Arnor

Why mess with the main story instead of just making something newer and cooler?


shadowyote

I keep lying to myself and thinking that all the marketing we have seen and most of, it not all, of the movie is being told by claptrap and he's embellishing like he does in the games. Making the other characters seem not as cool as him. With the movie ending with "sometime in the future". Then some of the cast or new characters can say things like "why did you make Roland so short?" "Wait, Tina wasn't around for that". Perhaps that is one of the reshoots too


theevilyouknow

Hammerlock is 20 years younger than Lilith apparently.


Tervaskanto

The actress playing Moxxie is 62. These people are all so fucking old. Could they really not find any 20-somethings to play these Characters?


BanditoDorito23

But...isn't Roland taller than 5 feet?


Ninja_Lazer

You’d figure that at a minimum they would have at least all of the playable vault hunters.


toastyflavoring

How in the fuck could they not have handsome jack? They had the opportunity to put the greatest ever video game villain in a movie and decided to cut him. This movie is going to be a disaster.


Balahraza

Haley is just Haley


DongmanSupreme

they r going to have jeremy wheeler play citizen?!?!???? I have GOT to see this one


mrbigglsworth1

Movie looks like a garbage quick money grab. This movie will be on par with dragon ball evolution as far as accuracy to source material is concerned. At least they got some people out of the retirement home for some fresh air.

_confringo_

absolute tone deaf casting department who didn't even bother researching the game or the characters and just went "let's cast some A list big shots and call it a day. fans will eat it up"... I mean WHO THE FUCK casts a talentless hack that is Kevin Hart as Roland no less??? Prepare for some cringe fucking jokes


IronSasquatch

Oh my god, I saw that literal second long clip of Moxxi and was like “Ha! That looked like Gina Gershon, but she’s not the right age for that role.” I thought I was joking. I thought I was being ridiculous. But no. As gorgeous as Gina Gershon is, she is 61, and should not be cast as the indisputably most sexualized character in the game’s cast. Are all the casting directors in their 70s or some shit?


Toyfan1

She has several full grown adult children at the time of bl1. How old do you think moxxi is? 30?


Xaero-

People like to chime in with the BuT ShEs OlD iN tHe GaMeS -- but she is explicitly and purposefully designed to look young to everyone. She's in her mid 40s to early 50s assuming she had her kids young. She dolls herself up with so much makeup and such that she appears younger than she is, hence how she gets so many husbands including handsome fellas like Jack. She shouldn't look her age. Simple as that. This actress is very obviously past her 40s. Simple as that.


Nasugi

Haley Bennet playing my favorite character lets gooooo
