the SUPER🦸: Famke Janssen plays antagonist in ‘Knights of the Zodiac’, now playing in theaters.

the SUPER🦸 — Jean Grey actress Famke Janssen has a new film coming out this weekend called KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC. Based off the manga Saint Seiya, the film deals with the goddess of war (Athena) reincarnating herself in the body of a young girl. Street orphan Seiya discovers that he is destined to protect her and save the world. But only if he can face his own past and become a Knight of the Zodiac.

Janssen portrays Vander Guraad, the primary antagonist of the film. “Guraad is very unique because she’s what appears to be driven by revenge and a vengeful nature…turns out to be something entirely different,” she said in a behind the scenes video (not embeddable, click link).

The $60 million budgeted adaption was directed by Tomek Bagiński, and also stars Mackenyu as Seiya the Pegasus Knight, Madison Iseman as Sienna, Athena Diego Tinoco as Nero the Phoenix Knight, Mark Dacascos as Mylock, Nick Stahl as Cassios, Sean Bean as Alman Kiddo, and Caitlin Hutson as Marin the Eagle Knight.

Knights of the Zodiac is now playing in theaters.
