TV & Film

Mar 17

Paramount Picture released a preview of the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves as anticipation and excitement grow for the film. This clip was previously shown exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con last July.

The dazzling Lord of Neverwinter (played by Hugh Grant) channeled the Grandmaster from Thor: Ragnarok as he kicked off the main event in the coliseum. Meanwhile, our heroes find themselves being chased by several classic monsters from the game through an arena-size maze. Just before the one-minute mark, long-time fans may catch a glimpse of another adventuring group in the maze resembling Hank the Ranger, Presto the Magician, Shiela the Thief, Eric the Cavalier, Bobby the Barbarian, and Diana the Acrobat from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon from the 1980s.
