Dungeons & Dragons will finally get the movie version that fans have been waiting for, and its cast is shaping up to be amazing. Hugh Grant and Sophia Lillis are the latest stars to be added to the adaptation of the beloved role-playing game.

The plot of the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons movie is still being kept under wraps, but we know that Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley will be in charge of writing the script. The cast will also include Chris Pine (Wonder Woman), Michelle Rodriguez (Fast & Furious), Justice Smith (All the Bright Places), and Rene-Jean Page (Bridgerton).

Grant is expected to play the movie’s main antagonist, marking another attempt to shift from the rom-com roles he was once known for. The British actor is fresh off his Golden Globe-nominated role in The Undoing, and his recent filmography also includes the action-comedy The Gentlemen and mini-series A Very English Scandal.

Sophia Lillis, best known for her role in the It horror franchise, was cast in Dungeons & Dragons in an unspecified role. She recently played the lead in the coming-of-age Netflix series I Am Not Okay with This.
