GAME OF THRONES Actor Kristofer Hivju Is Not In JUSTICE LEAGUE
It seems like someone may have jumped the gun yesterday, because reports of Game of Thrones actor Kristofer Hivju joining the cast of Zack Snyder's Justice League are now being retracted.
Sorry folks, Kristofer Hivju has not joined the cast of Warner Bros.' upcoming DC Films adventure Justice League.
As part of their set report yesterday, IGN revealed that the fan-favorite Game of Thrones actor had signed on to portray an ancient Atlantean king, with ties to one of the three Mother Boxes, in the Zack Snyder-directed film, however, they've since retracted the report after being contacted by the studio.
The mix-up seems to have occurred because of some concept art that was spotted on-set featuring Hivju's face or at least someone that looked a lot like him, which led to a handful of attendees to assume that Hivju had joined the cast. Also, according to IGN's Jim Vejvoda, the studio even gave him confirmation while on-set and in a follow-up email that the concept art he saw did in fact feature Hivju, which could mean Hivju may have been up for the part at some point, but passed for whatever reason.
In the mean time, Hivju's schedule is already quite packed as he's currently filming Universal Pictures' Fast & Furious 8 and should begin work on the seventh season of HBO's hit fantasy drama Game of Thrones this fall.
