Deadline has revealed that Lord of the Rings actor Orlando Bloom is primed to join a new film by A24 (X) and Plan B Entertainment (World War Z) titled Wizards!. The film is based on a story by Australian writer David Michôd, who wrote and directs the film, and Joel Edgerton.

What’s Is ‘Wizards!’ About?
According to reports, the film will follow Davidson and Rogowski’s characters, who are a couple of hapless pothead beach-bar operators who find themselves in trouble when they come across stolen loot that they should have just left alone. No other plot details were reported, and it remains unclear what role Bloom will play in the film. However, given the actor’s impressive resume, it’s safe to say he’ll bring his best to the table.
Orlando Bloom has starred in a long list of notable films throughout his career, including two of the most prominent franchises of all time, Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings. He also starred in the 2017 film Retaliation, 2019’s The Outpost, which received massive critical success, 2014’s Romeo and Juliet, and much more. The talented actor will return to Season 2 of Prime Video’s Carnival Row and will also star in an upcoming action thriller film titled Red Right Hand, which is currently in post-production.
Wizards with Orlando Bloom is said to be filmed in Queensland, with Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner of Plan B producing the film alongside See-Saw Film’s Liz Watts. Although a release date and further plot details for the film remain unknown, Orlando Bloom joining the all-star cast is sure to make it a good time. Stay tuned for further information.
