Eli Roth's Borderlands movie casts another role, this time with Creed II actor Florian Munteanu as Krieg. Munteanu joins other big-name actors like Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black, and more.
Krieg is from a bandit family with a rough past tied to his mom for his perceived weakness. That lack of love toughened him up, only to have him captured by Dr. Benedict. When we met this character in Borderlands 2, he was a changed man from the doctor's experimentations; testing that led to the creation of the "Psychos" that love to shoot at us while exploring Pandora. He eventually escapes and kills the doctor that tormented him, but those experiments their mark. On one side, we have the manic "Psycho" personality while the other half of him is likened more to who he was prior to capture.
He's also the one charged with protecting Tiny Tina.
"Florian brings real humanity and multiple layers to a character who on the surface seems totally insane and brutally savage," said Roth in a recent press statement. "Krieg was by far the most difficult role to cast, and Florian brought him to life and grounded him in a way that I didn't know was possible. He's going to be a brilliant Krieg and will fit in perfectly with our incredible cast."
He's joined by Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Jack Black as Claptrap, Jamie Lee Curtis as Dr. Tannis, Ariana Greenblatt as Tiny Tina, and Kevin Hart as Roland.
The Gearbox looter shooter first began its journey in 2009 and immediately became a hit with the gaming community. From this franchise's hilarious dialogue to its "interesting" cast of characters, there is a charm to Borderlands that sets it apart from the rest. The cell-shading art style adds to its magic, giving it the feel of an action-packed moving comic book, which makes this live-action adaptation an intriguing choice.
The Lionsgate film is set to begin filming soon in Budapest.

League of Legends: Wild Rift Open Beta Kicks Off Later This Month
Written by Liana Ruppert 
Riot Games has been hard at work expanding the League of Legends universe, and one of the ways that the studio is doing so is with Wild Rift. For those interested in seeing what the more portable version of League has to offer, the League of Legends: Wild Rift open beta kicks off later this month.
The open beta for North America begins on March 29. All players will have full access to the game on Android and iOS devices. For those who are curious, League of Legends: Wild Rift brings the skill-based 5v5 MOBA experience from League of Legends and puts it in the palm of a player's hand with this mobile experience. This isn't just some simple port; Wild Rift has been rebuilt from the ground up specifically with mobile technology and mechanics in mind.
With smooth controls tailored to Android and iOS systems, League of Legends: Wild Rift will offer a similar experience to the vanilla game – just now on the go.
Click here to watch embedded mediaI'm not going to say who my go-to champion is because it would damage my gamer cred faster than anything I've ever said about Dragon Age 2, but it is cool to see the world of League of Legends in this mobile format. With Nintendo Switch popularity still at an incredible high, playing games on the go is even more of a priority following a long history of handheld gaming devices.
While this isn't available on the Switch, some mobile phones (and tablets) are pretty massive. Playing League of Legends when traveling sounds nice for those who enjoy the MOBA, it's even better for people like me who are working from home and their work station is the same as their gaming station. That's been a huge appeal for the Switch for me, taking a break from my PC to enjoy games in a different setting. While I'm still on the fence if I want to devote even more time to League of Legends, the option to play elsewhere is a nice one to have.
