MOVIE NEWS – Brad Pitt is rumoured to be playing a role that Sean Connery once struggled with.

In a surprising twist, acclaimed actor Brad Pitt is set to break into the world of Disney-owned comic book adaptations. He will star in the upcoming reboot of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Although few details are known about the project, the news has sparked speculation and excitement among both the actor and fans of the franchise.

Known for his versatile acting skills and diverse filmography, Pitt is no stranger to challenging roles.

From his iconic performances in Fight Club and Inglourious Basterds to his Oscar-winning role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Pitt’s presence in the entertainment industry has been a constant influence.

The original 2003 film adaptation of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, based on the comic books by Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill, brought together a unique ensemble of characters from classic literature. But the adaptation took liberties with the source material. It introduced characters such as Dorian Gray and Tom Sawyer, who were not members of the original League in the comics. This departure from comic book canon opens up a world of possibilities for Pitt’s role in the reboot.

One of the most interesting theories is that Pitt could be Allan Quartermain, originally played by the late Sean Connery in the 2003 film. Quartermain, an adventurer with no superhuman powers, was a central character in both the comics and the film.

Pitt’s wide acting range could bring a new perspective to this iconic character as he grapples with the decision to get involved in the League’s extraordinary affairs.

But the dynamic nature of the franchise further complicates the predictions. The comic book series itself spans several centuries. It features characters and locations from the 19th, 20th, 21st and even the distant 30th centuries. This raises the intriguing possibility that Pitt’s character could be from any era. Defying expectations and adding another layer of unpredictability to the film in the making.

Furthermore, given Pitt’s experience with non-American accents, it begs the question of whether he will take on Quartermain’s distinctive English identity. While the Devils’ own memorable ‘Irish’ accent surprised many, Pitt’s commitment to his profession ensures that whatever accent he does adopt will be an exciting aspect of his performance.
