EXCLUSIVE: Sean Bean has been set by Warner Bros for a starring role in Jupiter Ascending, which Lana and Andy Wachowski will direct as their next film. Bean will play Stinger, a Han Solo-type character written older than co-star Channing Tatum. He joins Eddie Redmayne, Tatum and Mila Kunis. Bean is represented by CAA and Independent Talent in the UK and attorneys Marcy Morris and Karl Austen.
I still haven’t gotten over Bean getting killed in HBO’s Game Of Thrones, but he has been working steadily, including Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters. This should be a high-profile gig for him. We can all just hope that this will be that rare movie where Bean’s character lives to the end credits.


Thanks for the spoiler alert, man.
No way!
You guys didn’t know the ending of GOT S1 yet. That sucks! lol
are you serious? this article just spoiled Game of Thrones for me…
Are YOU serious? That ep aired over a year ago.
Who is giving money these two to keep making movies? Seriously, they’re the combined equivalent of M. Night Shamaylan.
After Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas you’d think Hollywood would think twice before giving them a dime.
Cloud Atlas was brilliant.
I love Sean Bean… but anybody crazy enough to give another couple hundred million bucks to the Wachowskis is crazier than…
the Wachowskis.
Now hold on there; sure their output is uneven but they also do something revolutionary each time out. They may not always hit it out of the park but they are always original.
uneven, yes. Their first two movies were great. and since then they’ve made a lot of very expensive flops. ranging from so-so, to totally terrible and incomprehensible. Cloud Atlas, their best work since matrix, is a divider at best — and lost a fortune.
If I had stock in Warner Brothers, i would sure be questioning giving them another 100+ million dollar budget. Ones are VERY high, close to 100%, that they will NOT see a return on the investment.
I still haven’t gotten over how you Spoiler Alerted me some GoT!!
Can’t f’ing wait. CLOUD ATLAS was THE best film of the year!!!! Go Andy and Lana!!!
Dude, you need to edit this. You just ruined game of thrones for me. Not cool.
I’d like to see Sean show up on DOWNTON ABBEY courting the widowed Mary.
Very current picture of Sean Bean. What is this? eharmony?
Hey, whiners – Darth Vader is Luke’s father! Rosebud is Kane’s childhood snowsled! Moses parts the Red Sea! Get over yourself – when a show is about to start its third season, you don’t need a “spoiler alert” when mentioning details of its first (on a news site no less!). It’s your fault for not keeping up with the show, not Mike’s responsibility to babysit your willful ignorance. Try to keep up.
Seriously! And not just any news site, a fucking INDUSTRY news site. Talking about one of the hottest shows on TV! Everyone should be caught up or shut up.
Thank you. You took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh shoot spoiler for Downton?!
You guys do know that Sean Bean dies in the end of EVERY movie he is in. There is even a great youtube video dedicated to his awesome death scenes. So you are 100 % guaranteed that he will die at the end of this film.
Apart from getting spanked by DeNiro, he managed to walk away on Ronin.
Oh wow, Sean Bean is my Favorite ! I Love hearing -another chance to see him act…
Only Sean Bean could have been cast in the lead role of a mega-successful HBO series … and die at the end of the first season.
Sean Bean is over qualified for most of the parts he’s given. But he loves acting; really love to see him get more and more appreciation. Hoping to see him in a story written just for him tbh,
Sean Bean is a multi-talented actor as witnessed in his performance in Accused. Would like to see him in more movies that are more drama than action/adventure.
