According to Variety, the next cast members to be gobbled up by our trio of giant-sized monsters will be Jake Lacy (HBO’s “Girls”) and Breanne Hill (San Andreas). They join the previously announced Joe Manganiello, Marley Shelton, Naomie Harris, and of course Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Johnson will play an animal-loving hero who is the world’s only hope, while Harris, the Oscar-nominated Moonlight actress, is on board as a geneticist with a moral streak. Manganiello will portray the leader of a private military group and Shelton will play a scientist and astronaut. No word yet on Lacy or Hill’s roles.
Brad Peyton is directing Rampage, which reunites Johnson, Peyton and producer Beau Flynn, the team behind San Andreas and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
Like the video game, the film will feature three creatures — a monstrously transformed gorilla, lizard and wolf — who wreak havoc on North American cities and landmarks.
Ryan Engle wrote the original draft, with work done by Carlton Cuse and Ryan Condal. Adam Sztykiel did the most current revisions.
Rampage is set to release April 20, 2018.
