The Elden Ring movie may have its lead – and it's an up-and-coming Netflix star
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Elden Ring movie is slowly coming together. Recently, Alex Garland was tapped to direct and write the A24 project. Now, one up-and-coming Netflix star is being eyed as its lead. As per Deadline, Heartstopper's Kit Connor has had talks with Garland about starring in the upcoming video game movie. The pair recently collaborated on Garland's war film Warfare, with Connor appearing alongside Joseph Quinn, Charles Melton, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, and Cosmo Jarvis. However, this casting isn't set in stone just yet. According to its sources, Deadline states: 'it is unknown where things stand in negotiations or if a formal offer has been offered.' Connor, meanwhile, is set to appear in a Heartstopper movie for Netflix. On why it's a film and not another season, co-star Joe Locke recently told The Playlist, "So, we realized that the only way to get it made this year is if we do a film because it's less time commitment, and well, we can still put in a lot of the same love and care into the characters, into finishing off the story." Ever since the Elden Ring movie was announced by Bandai Namco, there has been plenty of chatter online about castings and, perhaps more importantly, which figure it will focus on. Already, fans are keen to see Vyke – and not the Tarnished hero of the 2022 open-world title – claim the mantle of the movie's lead character, while others want Game of Thrones actor Charles Dance to step into the all-knowing shoes of Roundtable Hold leader Gideon. Speaking to The Guardian last year about the possibility of an Elden Ring movie, the game's director Hidetaka Miyazaki indicated he was happy to step aside for the feature – as long as a "very strong partner" was found. "I don't see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, a movie for example," Miyazaki said. "But I don't think myself, or FromSoftware, have the knowledge or ability to produce something in a different medium. So that's where a very strong partner would come into play. We'd have to build a lot of trust and agreement on whatever it is we're trying to achieve." Now, it seems, that strong partner is in play and actors are marching on towards The Lands Between.

Fans really got Pope Leo to join in a sports chant at the Vatican
Fans really got Pope Leo to join in a sports chant at the Vatican The Pope is participating in White Sox chants. What a crazy timeline we live — Mike (@ChiSoxFanMike) June 18, 2025 Pope Leo, as we found out after he was chosen to lead the papacy, is a Chicago White Sox fan and not a Cubs die-hard, which has led to a lot of jokes and costumes and such. It's also led the pope to getting a new White Sox hat, and a lot of attention on the time that he used one hand to catch a puppet thrown to him (sports pope? Sports pope!). And now, the first American pope has been shown on camera driving through Vatican City greeting people there ... and joining in on a White Sox chant. Despite the fact that the team continues to be a total mess as the South Siders rebuilds slowly, the pope hasn't dropped his fandom: Pope Leo XIV, a Chicago native, stuns in a White Sox cap. — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) June 11, 2025 Fans on Twitter loved the pope joining in the White Sox chant "Getting a White Sox chant going with the pope has to be an incredible feeling." Getting a White Sox chant going with the pope has to be an incredible feeling — Kenny Ducey (@KennyDucey) June 18, 2025 "I cannot wait for the Pope to throw out the first pitch at a White Sox game." I cannot wait for the Pope to throw out the first pitch at a White Sox game. — Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) June 19, 2025 "I'll never get over the fact that not only is the pope a Chicagoan, but a Southside White Sox fan? This will never get old to me." I'll never get over the fact that not only is the pope a Chicagoan, but a Southside White Sox fan? This will never get old to me. — Courtney Finnicum (@courtney883) June 19, 2025 So cool. We need more of this.
