“Dungeons and Dragons”: Regé-Jean Page’s new challenge after “Bridgerton”

That certain roles change life is out of the question. That they do it as fast as it is happening to Regé-Jean Page a little less. Since when Bridgerton landed on Netflix, the doors of Hollywood have opened for the actor, but also of the wildest gossip. There are those who have proposed him as the new James Bond after Daniel Craig and those who have hypothesized for him a future as Black Panther but, for the moment, Page is watching the chat in an amused way, choosing to marry the projects that he considers most in his ropes .

One of these is the expected Dungeons and Dragons, the film inspired by one of the most famous video game franchises in the world and which, pandemic permitting, could reach cinemas in 2022.

To give the news is Deadline, although it’s unclear at the moment what Page’s character will be. What is certain is that they will accompany him in this adventure Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez e Justice Smith: Filming is scheduled to take place in the city of Belfast under the direction of Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley and the screenplay by Michael Gilion. It is not the first time that cinema has tried to adapt Dungeons and Dragons for the big screen: it happened, in fact, already in 2000 with a film starring Jeremy Irons which, however, failed to break through either as a critic or as a box-office.

Together with the curiosity of the most loyal players, those who for several decades have tried to test themselves in search of treasures, missions and spells, fighting with creatures of various kinds, it is obvious that all eyes are on Regé-Jean Page above all, even just to see if his face works beyond the sumptuous frame of Bridgerton and beyond the spoon of the Duke of Hastings who, as we know, will return to interpret for a second season (but also for those to come, if the project to extend Bridgerton for the entire duration of Julia Quinn’s books, which in the meantime have returned to the top of the best-selling chart, it will be true). For him this is the most delicate phase: trying not to get burned and to ride the wave of success in a sensible way are the only tools he has at his disposal to be able to last and become a stable face of the star-system, and we wish him so.
