The cast of the upcoming “Inferno” has been released.
The sequel to 2006’s “The Da Vinci Code” and 2009’s “Angels & Demons” will see Tom Hanks return as Robert Langdon.
Joining him will be “The Theory of Everything’s” Felicity Jones as Dr. Sienna Brooks, Irrfan Khan as Harry Sims (aka The Provost), Omar Sy as Christoph Bruder and Sidse Babett Knudsen as Dr. Elizabeth Sinskey, the head of the World Health Organization. More parts are also yet to be cast.
Ron Howard will also return to direct and produce. David Koepp adapted the script from Dan Brown’s book.
“Inferno” centres on Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon who wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia. He teams up with Sienna Brooks, a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories and prevent a madman from releasing a global plague connected to Dante’s immortal tome.
Production is set to get underway at the end April with a release date set for October 14, 2016.
“For this film, I wanted Tom Hanks to be surrounded by an international cast of actors whose energy will underscore Robert Langdon’s life-or-death peril, the high-stakes action he takes, and the global threat that he’s trying to prevent,” said Howard. “Felicity, Irrfan, Omar, and Sidse have all broken through with recognition here in America as well as their home countries – they are phenomenal talents and we can’t wait to get started.”
