Eli Roth’s live-action adaptation of the videogame
Borderlands has found its Atlas in the form of Latinx actor Edgar Ramirez. The actor is most recently known for his work in Netflix’s
Yes Day, and we know from the description alone that this will be a completely different role for the actor. According to
ComicBook.com, he’s set to be a possible antagonist of the film and “the universe’s most powerful S.O.B.”
“What an incredible honor to have an actor of Edgar’s caliber, talent, and charisma playing opposite Cate Blanchett and this remarkable cast,” Roth told
“Every time Jen talks about that, I go back to my childhood years with my Mom and it’s true there were so many times that I was told no, Ramírez, who took on his first comedic role in
Yes Day, chimed in. I remember going to the supermarket with my mom and I’m grabbing cookies here and there, and my mom’s just like, ‘No, no, no . It’s just about feeling a certain sense of freedom, you know? And that is a beautiful thing, seeing how kids glow when you tell them for one day, you’re going to say, ‘Yes!’” he added.
Yes Day and he totally pulls it off!
