Eric Bana Will Be King Arthur's Dad In Knights Of The Round Table, Get The Details — cinemablend.com

According to Variety, Bana has nabbed the role of Uther Pendragon, the plate-wearing paternal figure for the future King Arthur. Playing what has been described as not an overly significant role, Bana will join confirmed cast member Charlie Hunnam who will play his son, and peers in Jude Law and Djimon Hounsou in the Knights of the Round Table movie. Interestingly enough, the casting of Bana seems a bit age-inappropriate, seeing as the 46 year-old Bana will be playing daddy to a 34 year-old Charlie Hunnam (who is topical this week thanks to the fact that he once landed the Fifty Shades of Grey Christian role for about five whole minutes). However, not much is known about the plot, other than the fact that Arthurian legend will provide the framework for this new series. Of course, seeing what Ritchie did as far as creative changes with the Sherlock Holmes canon, we probably shouldn’t assume that the movie will be taking the source material as gospel. Regardless, we could be looking at either some aged makeup for Bana or a flashback type situation.
