Netflix's Bridgerton breakout star Regé-Jean Page is going from the Regency-era romance to the sword-wielding, role-playing action of Dungeons & Dragons!
Page has been tapped to play the lead role in the Paramount feature based on the iconic game franchise from Wizards of the Coast. He joins previously announced cast Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Justice Smith. Frequent collaborators Johnathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley will direct and write the script based on a draft by Michael Gilio.
Dungeons & Dragons is a leading fantasy entertainment franchise which is fueled by the imagination of storytellers around the world. The role playing game has been around for 46 years with more than 40 million fans who have interacted with or played it. The franchise also includes videogames and livestream entertainment on Twitch and YouTube. Three live-action Dungeons & Dragons movies have also been made prior to this.
The movie is expected to open in cinemas in May 2022.
