We still don’t know a lot about A24’s Elden Ring movie, but photos from the set have slowly been filling in the gaps. We’ve seen pictures that suggest that it will be set after The Shattering, but more recent images have suggested that we’ll be seeing how The Lands Between looked before the cataclysmic event as well.
There’s a lot that can be deciphered from these set images, we’re yet to see one of the named characters from the game. It seems the wait may have ended, as we may have got a look at the mythos’ most important characters, Queen Marika herself. A new set photo shows her in similar garbs from the game.
Elden Ring Movie’s Queen Marika May Have Been Revealed
Before we move on, it’s worth noting that this could be a fake image created using AI. Unfortunately, we’re going to be getting a lot of those, so take it with a pinch of salt. However, this image doesn’t feature any obvious gen-AI traits. It’s also worth noting that there’s been no official confirmation that this is actually Marika.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, she sure does look like Marika. Perhaps the movie will feature a Lord of the Rings style prologue, where the world, its characters, and The Shattering, as she doesn’t really feature in the events of the game too much. Yes, I know Radagon is there, but you know what I mean.
So Is Elden Ring Just Gonna Cost Twice As Much As Any Film A24’s Ever Made?
It’s hard to imagine Elden Ring working without a sizable budget.
The Reddit post by Disastrous_Tough7046 has got a few comments about the look as well. Costume wise, Marika looks absolutely spot on. However, her godly aura will only be visible in the actual movie, after post-production. The general consensus is that it looks good for what it is, an unofficial photo from the set.
Another clue that this is a prologue or a flashback is that the child in the forefront has horns, like seen on Morgott. Perhaps it is a younger version of the character, or just an extra. With filming still underway, it’s going to be some time before we get more official information on the movie.
All we know for now is the cast list, a release date of March 3, 2028, and that it will be A24’s most expensive movie till date.
