The upcomingBorderlandsadaptation has received new images that unveil the first look at fan-favorite characters, including Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt), Roland (Kevin Hart), Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis), and more. Despite only being able to see their silhouettes, it’s clear they are taking direct inspiration from the popular video game.
After releasing a character image forCate Blanchett’s Lilith, the production continues the trend by giving fans a small tease at some of the film’s main cast members. Greenblatt’s Tiny Tina is instantly recognizable with her iconic bunny ears while Hart looks to subvert expectations as the battle-hardened, stoic vault hunter Roland. Meanwhile, Curtis sports a different look than her video game counterpart, but there’s little doubt that she’ll excel in playing the exceptional scientist and “acute sociophobe.“Florian Munteanu’s Krieg is ripped straight from the source material as the muscle-bound best friend and protector of Tiny Tina. Claptrap, voiced byJack Black, looks exceptional and promises to be the perfect comedic relief for the sci-fi adventure.
