English actors Samantha Morton, Dominic West ("The Wire") and Polly Walker ("Rome") has signed on for Disney's live-action adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's "John Carter of Mars."
Actor Taylor Kitsch will star as John Carter, a U.S. civil war veteran mysteriously transported to an inhabited red planet. According to The Hollywood Reporter:
Morton plays Sola, the daughter of Willem Dafoe's Tars Tarkas, who must hide her softer side from her warmongering race.
West plays Sab Than, prince of the Zodangans who believes he is entitled to rule Mars.
Walker plays Sarkoja, a merciless, tyrannical Thark.
Not overly familiar with any of these new actors besides Samantha Morton, but I'm still looking forward to this with tentative optimism...
