D&D: Honor Among Thieves Directors Discuss The Movie's Surprise Celebrity Cameos

The new Dungeons & Dragons movie, Honor Among Thieves, is out now in theaters. In addition to the main cast of big names like Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez, the film features a couple guest stars in cameo roles. This story contains spoilers about Honor Among Thieves.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley revealed that actor Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello have roles in the fantasy film.

Cooper plays Marlamin, the former lover of Rodriguez's character, Holga. Cooper's scene was added in post-production. Daley, who himself co-starred with Cooper on the TV series Kitchen Confidential years ago, said he and Cooper "appreciated each other's careers from afar" after working together. Daley was excited for the chance to have Cooper appear in Honor Among Thieves.

"I don't remember who it was that pitched Bradley, but the second I heard the name, I thought, 'Oh, let's go for it.' So we sent him a copy of the unfinished film and he loved it. So he was ready to jump on board, and it was such an awesome day," Daley said.

As for Morello, the avid D&D player in real life portrays Kimathi Stomhollow in the film for a cameo role. Daley, meanwhile, played the D&D-loving kid Sam Weir on Freaks and Geeks.

Honor Among Thieves also stars Hugh Grant, Sophia Lillis, Rege-Jean Paul, and Justice Smith. It's in theaters now, having already earned $5.6 million rom its various preview sessions. It's expected to earn as much as $40 million in the US over its first weekend, and the movie will need to keep performing well in the weeks to come, as it reportedly carried a massive $150 million budget.
