'Tom Hiddleston Cast as Sir Edmund Hillary in ‘Tenzing’

The Big Picture British actor Tom Hiddleston, known for television series Loki and The Night Manager, has been confirmed to play Sir Edmund Hillary in upcoming movie Tenzing. According to Deadline, Oscar-winning indie production company See-Saw Films’ feature will depict the life of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, a climber who summited Mount Everest in 1953 with New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary.

Who Was Sherpa Tenzing Norgay? Tenzing Norgay was born in Tibet in 1914, and first attempted to climb Mount Everest at the age of 19 in 1935, as a part of mountaineer Eric Shipton’s expedition. Tenzing and New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary were both outsiders to 1953’s predominantly British expedition to the summit, yet defied all odds as they reached the top of the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.

Written by Oscar-nominated Luke Davies, known for projects such as Lion and Beautiful Boy, the film can be expected to incorporate Peedom’s signature grand landscapes and intimate examinations of her subjects. Tenzing is expected to be a popular project at next week’s Cannes market with Rocket Science launching sales. The film is being tentatively lined up for spring 2025.
