The Borderlands Movie Just Revealed A Major Villain

Per The Hollywood Reporter, it's Olivier Richters. Richters is relatively new to the world of acting, with his first credit coming in 2018. The Borderlands movie will be one of his first major screen credits, but he's also landed roles in the upcoming films Black Widow, The King's Man, and Louis Wain. Richters is more well known for being literally the world's tallest bodybuilder, at a towering 7'2". By comparison, Game of Thrones' Hafthor "The Mountain" Bjornsson is a mere 6'9". Richters' nickname is "The Dutch Giant."

Richters' hulking physique should make him a good fit for the role of Krom. In the first Borderlands, Krom is both a psychotic bandit leader, as well as one of the game's boss bad guys — he was the one who wielded the minigun turret. Krom will be one of the movie's main villains along with Atlas, an arms manufacturer and one of the most powerful people in Pandora.

Roth and the producers haven't specified how many villains will be in the Borderlands movie, so Richters and Ramirez may be just the start.
