Knights finds it’s Merlin-type

Djimon Hounsou (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) will play a Merlin the Wizard-type role in Guy Ritchie’s “Knights of the Round Table”, according to Variety.

Idris Elba was originally set for the role, but had to pull out due to other commitments.

Charlie Hunnamn is playing Arthur in the film, with astrid Berges-Frisbey playing Guinevere, and Jude Law in talks for the bad guy.

The film, projected as the first of six new films in a series, will be released July 22, 2016.

Hounsou next appears in “Furious 7”.
