The Boy and the Heron

The inspired casting of Robert Pattinson (The Batman) as the Heron really is just the cherry on top of the amazing ensemble put together for The Boy and the Heron. For what was once believed to be Miyazaki’s final final film—he’s since reconsidered this— GKIDS brought back a number of actors from previous English dubs including Bale, Mark Hamill (Castle in the Sky), and Willem Dafoe (Tales from Earthsea). Newcomers include Gemma Chan (Eternals), Dave Bautista, Florence Pugh, and Karen Fukuhara (Suicide Squad).

The Boy and the Heron is in theaters now.
