Washington DC [US], September 18 (ANI): Action star Alan Ritchson is in talks to star in the film adaptation of the game ‘Helldivers,’ reported Deadline.
Following the exit of Jason Momoa, Sony Pictures and Justin Lin have moved fast to find his replacement for their feature adaptation of Helldivers, as sources tell Deadline Alan Ritchson is in talks to star in the film.
The film is based on Arrowhead Game Studios’ video game franchise, with Lin on board to direct. Details regarding the plot of the film are under wraps.
According to Deadline, Helldivers is a cooperative, twin-stick shooter game that debuted in 2015. As part of the elite unit called the Helldivers, players must work together to protect Super Earth and defeat the enemies of mankind in an intense intergalactic war.

This is not the first time for Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions to collaborate on a movie.
They have previously worked together on Uncharted, starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, which earned 407 million USD globally and is one of the 10 highest-grossing video game adaptations globally.
Ritchson can currently be seen in the fourth season of his hit Amazon Prime show ‘Reacher’. (ANI)
