Watch Dogs Movie Adds Hunger Games Prequel Star

The Watch Dogs live-action movie has added another name to its cast. According to reporting from Deadline, Tom Blyth will co-star in the film, where he'll appear alongside Sophia Wilde, who was announced as part of the cast back in March. Blyth's most recent role was in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, where he played the main character, Coriolanus"Coryo" Snow.

Who Will Tom Blyth Play in Watch Dogs?Blyth could be playing Aiden Pearce, the protagonist of the first game in the Watch Dogs series. That would make the most sense, if the movie plans on starting from the very beginning. However, it's possible that the film could go with Watch Dogs 2 protagonist Marcus Holloway, or a brand-new character entirely.

If the movie does go with an original protagonist, it's possible we could see an approach similar to Prime Video's massively successful Fallout; rather than adapting one game, Fallout took place in the same world as the games. The creators came up with a completely original cast, and treated it as if it were a new installment in the game franchise. That approach could work for Watch Dogs, and help to introduce the world of the games to a new audience.

Watch Dogs Writers and DirectorWhatever the case might be, the original draft for the Watch Dogs script was written by Christie LeBlanc, while Victoria Bata has been handling revisions. Watch Dogs will be directed by Mathieu Turi. Interestingly enough, Turi is also involved in a completely different video game adaptation; he is currently attached to direct an adaptation based on A Plague Tale: Innocence.
