Casting The Perfect Gears Of War Film

While RAAM and Skorge are excellent villains, Queen Myrrah is able to command respect while still having a sympathetic side to her.

When gamers first meet Myrrah it is clear that there is more going on than the COG would have them believe. After battling countless horrific monsters only to be met by their human-looking Queen is one of the biggest surprises in all of Gears. What's more is that Myrrah reveals she has some prior connection to the Fenix family.

There are so many layers to Myrrah's character that you get the sense that the Locust horde may not be so evil after all. Myrrah is by all accounts a survivalist doing whatever she can to ensure her people are safe from the growing Lambent threat.

As an actor who has played many members of royality in the past, Cate Blanchett brings that sinister yet conflicted presence needed for Myrrah. Just looking at Blanchett's roles in The Lord of the Rings and Thor: Ragnarok is enough to secure her spot as Gears' most cunning and complicated villain.
