Everything to Know About the Cast of 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' (2024)

is coming back to the big screen.

The latest movie inspired by the classic role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves will feature a brand new story; it'll be the first D&D movie since the direct-to-DVD Dungeons & Dragons 3: The Book of Vile Darkness after years of legal disputes.

In this reboot, a group of adventurers travel on a quest to retrieve a lost relic that has fallen into dangerous hands, but they run into the wrong people on the way.

Filming began in 2021 in Iceland and then moved to Northern Ireland. The film was originally set for release in July 2021, but with the COVID-19 pandemic and the release of Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, its premiere was pushed back to March 2023.

Honor Among Thieves has a star-studded cast featuring some of Hollywood's biggest names and up-and-coming actors. Cast members from the D&D web series Critical Role are also set to make cameo appearances.

Chris Pine was cast in the lead role of Edgin in December 2020, with other stars Michelle Rodriguez and Hugh Grant joining the ensemble a couple of months later. In an interview, Pine described the movie as " '80s heartfelt," adding that his character is the "ultimate party planner."

"We had a hell of a fun time making it," he said. "There was a lot of laughs."

Here's everything to know about the cast of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Chris Pine plays the film's protagonist Edgin, a bard and the planner of the group. He's well known for playing James T. Kirk in the 2009 reboot of Star Trek and Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman.

In an interview with Variety, directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein said that Pine was excited to play against his superhero image. "What we love about Chris is that he's hyper-aware of [his image] and wants to make himself look as bad as possible, almost to a fault," Daley said.

The Los Angeles-born actor studied English at the University of California, Berkeley, and has since gone into the family business — both of his parents, CHiPs' Robert Pine and A New Kind of Family's Gwynne Gilford, appeared in a number of 1970s and '80s TV series, while his maternal grandmother Anne Gwynne was one of the first Hollywood scream queens. Pine himself began his acting career with TV roles in ER and CSI: Miami, later moving into movies like Just My Luck, Blind Dating and Smokin' Aces.

From 2011 to 2013, Pine was in a relationship with South African model Dominique Piek; from 2018 to 2022 he dated British actress Annabelle Wallis.
