Borderlands Star Florian Munteanu Addresses Potential Krieg Prequel

by

As a long-time fan of the Borderlands franchise, I have to say that my excitement for the movie adaptation was through the roof! However, after seeing it over the weekend, I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed with how it turned out. With an abysmal 9% critics score and a mediocre audience score of 52%, it seems like Eli Roth’s take on Borderlands missed the mark for many fans.

The movie “Borderlands” hit theaters this past weekend, and Eli Roth’s video game adaptation is not doing well with viewers. With a dismal 9% critics score and an audience score of 52% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a disappointing box office performance during its opening weekend, the film is struggling to find favor among audiences. Prior to its release, Florian Munteanu, who portrays Krieg in the movie, spoke with ComicBook about the possibility of a prequel focusing on his character due to its intriguing backstory in the games. Given the movie’s reception, a prequel now appears improbable, but Munteanu was enthusiastic about the concept.

Munteanu expressed his eagerness for creating a “Borderlands” prequel film when asked about it. He mentioned that the prequel would be an exciting project for him because there’s so much untold story in it. As a fan himself, he shared his desire to explore why the character is the way he is and delve into the experiences he went through.

He also mentioned, “If you’re well-versed in these games, you’re probably aware of the dual nature and all its associated aspects. That’s a topic I’m particularly interested in delving deeper into.”

What Is Borderlands About?

You can read the official synopsis for Borderlands here: “Lilith (Blanchett), an infamous bounty hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home, Pandora, the most chaotic planet in the galaxy. Her mission is to find the missing daughter of Atlas (Ram?rez), the universe’s most powerful S.O.B. Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits – Roland (Hart), a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina’s musclebound protector; Tannis (Curtis), the oddball scientist who’s seen it all; and Claptrap (Black), a wiseass robot. Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets. The fate of the universe could be in their hands – but they’ll be fighting for something more: each other. Based on one of the best-selling videogame franchises of all time, welcome to BORDERLANDS.”
