It's not just Daimio who's got a brilliant actor behind him either - both Ian McShane and Milla Jovovich will partake in the project too.
McShane will play Professor Broom (brought to life first by the late John Hurt), and Jovovich will play Nimue herself, the Blood Queen. Add to that the aforementioned castings of David Harbour and Sasha Lane, and it's clear that the film is packing an impressive cast to portray an equally impressive set of characters.
McShane is always brilliant, and Jovovich - having led the Resident Evil franchise for over a decade now - has plenty of experience to make the role work. Harbour was a revelation for his part in Stranger Things, and while he's unproven in the role, one would expect him to match the authentic look he's rocking and give Perlman a good run for his money.
While it's unclear if we'll be getting anymore B.P.R.D. members to ogle at before filming starts, it's fair to say that the cast - in its current form at least - is brilliant, and more than capable of bringing to life Mignola's creations.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
