Danny Huston Is King Of All England
Danny Huston has joined the cast of Ridley Scotts Robin Hood, and if youre wondering why theyre only now getting around to hiring him after weeks of shooting, heres the answer: THR says hes playing Richard the Lionheart.
In the standard, generic Robin Hood tale (which Ridleys once ambitious project now almost certainly is), Richard only shows up at the end to kick out John and give Robin and his Merry Men a bunch of medals. That likely means Hustons part, while pivotal, will also be rather small. Danny is probably best known for his role as Stryker this summer in inexplicable box office hit X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Dont hold that against him. Hes a kickass actor who ought to look pretty damned good in a crown.
Ridleys Robin Hood is currently shooting in England and stars Russell Crowe as the titular prince of Sherwood Forest. Since theyre getting ready to shoot King Richards cameo, its likely safe to assume theyre almost done.
