Heroic Signatures has confirmed that Dolph Lundgren (Expend4bles, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) and Ian McElhinney (The Outlaws, Game Of Thrones) will officially lead the voice cast of the Mutant: Year Zero film, which is now in production. The film will be directed and produced by Hasraf 'HaZ' Dulull, who began his career in video games and visual effects (The Dark Knight, Hellboy 2).
"Set in a post-apocalyptic world, an unlikely team of animalistic mutants, led by a witty duck and a surly boar, embark on a dangerous mission to retrieve a vital generator stolen from their sanctuary, the Ark," the synopsis reads. "Together, the band of scavengers uncover a deeper truth behind the Ark's divisions, confront the oppressive Elder regime, and discover the secrets that could change their dystopian existence."
