Cate Blanchett got 'really absorbed' in Borderlands to prepare for her role as Lilith in the upcoming movie.
When preparing for a role in the live-action adaptation of a video game franchise, it depends entirely on each individual actor whether or not they decide to play the game first in order to fully immerse themselves in the content they'll be bringing to life in another media form.
"My thumbs can barely control a phone, but I bought a PS5 and we played each other," Blanchett revealed during the interview, referencing her husband as her gaming partner."I wanted to know the limits of the game and what fans loved about the character. I got really absorbed in that whole world. The cosplayers. The YouTube make-up tutorials."
Stepping into the role of Lilith makes Blanchett the undeniable lead of the Borderlands movie, and Blanchett is a powerful enough performer to portray Lilith's tough nature convincingly – while there's a lot of trepidation toward the movie still, what's never been in-question is whether or not Blanchett will provide a good performance, though there are some massive questions still as to what the Lionsgate and director Eli Roth's version of the character will be.
