A few days ago it was revealed that the beloved anime of Knights of the Zodiac would have a film adaptation. It will be a live-action with a cast that includes many familiar faces and a couple of new talents that will give life to Seiya and Saori.
Although the names of the actors involved in the film version of The Knights of the Zodiac, some papers were kept secret. Now there are several theories about who will be who, which point to the powerful Phoenix Ikki It will be played by an actor of Latin origin.
The Knights of the Zodiac could have a Latin Ikki
Among the cast announced for the live-action of Knights of the Zodiac we found the name of Diego Tinoco. The details of the role he would play remained quite vague, as his description only indicated that he was ‘a mysterious murderer’, however it is believed that he will give life to Phoenix Ikki.
Remember that Phoenix Ikki started out as an antagonist in Knights of the Zodiac before becoming one of the bronze knights who protected Athena. Since the live-action will be an origin story, maybe we will see Ikki facing Seiya before becoming his ally against whoever ends up being the main villain of the film.
The name of the actor who could be behind Phoenix Ikki may not be familiar to you, as it is a fairly new talent in Hollywood. At the moment he has had few roles, the most renowned have been in the series Teen wolf, where he played Matthew, and in On My Block from Netflix.
You may want to see his performance in the series to see if it will be a good Ikki on Knights of the Zodiac. Now that production has started, we may soon see this actor characterized as the mighty phoenix. Do you like the idea of a Latino actor bringing one of the most powerful saints to life? Athena?
