Edgar Ramirez has joined the cast for Eli Roth’s adaptation of the video game Borderlands.

The Lionsgate feature also stars Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Haley Bennett, and Jack Black. Deadline broke the news that Ramirez will be playing Atlas, “”a business titan and arms manufacturer, and the most powerful person in the universe.”

“What an incredible honour to have an actor of Edgar’s calibre, talent, and charisma playing opposite Cate Blanchett and this remarkable cast,” Roth told Deadline. “Atlas has to be a truly magnetic personality, someone with charisma and charm but that air of menace underneath it all. I’ve been a fan of Edgar’s since his early performances and he continues to amaze me with each dramatic turn. We want to create something wild, fun, and very different from anything they’ve seen from Edgar before. I am so, so excited to work with him.”

“The force of Edgar’s presence and the strength of his talent as an actor make him an ideal choice to play Atlas, a character who controls the fate of so many in the Borderlands universe. He’s the perfect addition to this perfect cast,” added Nathan Kahane, president of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
