The long-awaited feature film adaptation of Ender’s Game is shaping up to be a Hugo reunion of sorts.

Oscar winner Ben Kingsley is poised to join his Hugo co-star Asa Butterfield in the Gavin Hood-directed sci-fi film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Butterfield plays the title role, while THR claims “Kingsley will play a legendary war hero presumed to be long dead.” That sounds a lot like Mazer Rackham to us.

Summit aims to start production in February.
