The highly anticipated Elden Ring movie adaptation continues to generate buzz as new casting rumors emerge. Industry insiders suggest that Alien: Romulus star Cailee Spaeny may be joining the project, with fans speculating she could portray the mysterious character Melina.

Developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco, Elden Ring took the gaming world by storm in 2022. The action RPG, created in collaboration with Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin, has since expanded with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and Nightreign multiplayer spin-off, providing rich source material for the film adaptation.

A24, known for its innovative film productions, confirmed the adaptation three years after the game's release. Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation) is set to direct, with George R.R. Martin serving as producer to ensure the film remains true to the game's intricate lore. Production is reportedly progressing, with filming potentially beginning in 2026 for a 2027 release.

Industry insider Jeff Sneider recently reported that Spaeny, who previously worked with Garland on Civil War, is in talks for the project. While no official confirmation has been made, fans have quickly connected the dots, suggesting she might play Melina - a pivotal yet enigmatic character who guides players throughout the game.

Spaeny's potential casting joins other unconfirmed rumors, including Heartstopper's Kit Connor possibly taking a lead role. The actress, who began her career voicing characters in Dead by Daylight, has built an impressive resume with roles in Devs, Mare of Easttown, and Priscilla.
