The upcoming Borderlands film has recently announced its latest acquisition of stars to its cast and that is an actress known for her role in another game.
The newest addition to the cast is Janina Gavankar, who is known for her role as Iden Versio in video game Star Wars Battlefront 2. She is also known for other movies like The Way Back and Blindspotting.
If you know me, you know that this movie will be a lot more than just another gig for me. I’ll be carrying every writer, dev, voice actor, and gamer that has worked on and played Borderlands, in my heart, as I head to Pandora. ❤️ https://t.co/uUK1WNFBmJ
