Academy Award-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy, Blood Diamond) reportedly is up for said part – that of a mentor-type (Merlin?) to Hunnam’s King Arthur – in the first of a proposed new six-film franchise.
Ritchie & Co. had been talking to Idris Elba about taking the role, but, I guess, that didn’t pan out.
Jude Law was also circling a part in the movie. That of the villain.
Knights of the Round Table is scheduled to come out in July 2016.
Up next for Hounsou, though, is Seventh Son in February and Furious 7 in April.
