GOTG Contender Eddie Redmayne Up For The Wachowskis' JUPITER ASCENDING
This may very well narrow our shortlist of Guardians Of The Galaxy actors down a bit, as the movie - which will mark Matrix duo Andy and Lana Wachowski's return to sci-fi - is set to shoot early next year. Read on for details..
Variety report that My Week With Marylyn actor Eddie Redmayne (next to be seen on Les Miserables) is in talks to join the cast of the Wachowski Starship's upcoming sci-fi movie, Jupiter Ascending. According to the site it's not a done deal, but if Redmayne does sign on we can most likely scratch his name off the list of actors said to be up for the lead role of Star-Lord in James Gunn's Guardians Of The Galaxy, which would almost certainly clash with Jupiter Ascending's shoot date. Of course it may depend on the size of Redmayne's role, which according to Variety is not yet known. He would join Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis in the movie which is set in a time where humans are at the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, and follows a woman who has been targeted for assassination by the queen of the universe.
