Anthony Hopkins has gone from making robots to being one as Deadline reports the Westworld actor has joined Zack Snyder’s upcoming sci-fi Rebel Moon where he will voice a battle robot in an uprising against a galactic tyrant.
Rebel Moon is “set in a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy that finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius. They dispatch a young woman with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them take a stand against the Tyrant.”
Hopkins will voice Jimmy, “an impossibly sentient JC1435 mechanized battle robot and one-time defender of the slain King.” Hejoins a large ensemble cast that includes Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Stuart Martin, Cary Elwes, Corey Stoll, Michiel Huisman, Alfonso Herrera, Ed Skrein, Cleopatra Coleman, Fra Fee, Rhian Rees, Jena Malone, E. Duffy, Charlotte Maggi, Sky Yang and Staz Nair.
Meanwhile, Snyder has also shared a make-up test for Rebel Moon on his Twitter account for Netflix’s Geeked Week, showing a very demonic and alien-looking character.
