    Hart will be playing “Borderlands 2” character Roland,  described as a skilled ex-soldier turned mercenary.

    “I’m thrilled to be working with Kevin,” Roth said of the news. “‘Borderlands’ is a different kind of role for him, and we are excited to thrill audiences with a side of Kevin they’ve never seen before. He’s going to be an amazing Roland.”

    We know that Blanchett will be playing Lilith, one of the main characters from the multi-titled game series.

     “Chernobyl” scribe Craig Mazin wrote the most recent “Borderlands” script for the Lionsgate release, and that’s about all we know at this point.
