April 18, 2018 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Ed Skrein is set to play yet another villain in an upcoming blockbuster. Skrein, who played Ajax in Deadpool is set to portray the villain in Disney’s Maleficent sequel according to THR.

Skrein is known for his villainous roles; in addition to Ajax, he is set to play an antagonist in the upcoming Alita: Battle Angel. His breakout role was in 2013 as the somewhat less villainous (but still swaggering) Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones. He played that role for the third season before being replaced by Michael Huisman.

Joachim Ronning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest) will direct the film, which is being written by Jez Butterworth and Linda Woolverton.
