Luke Evans

Luke Evans

Luke Evans is an actor whose star has been on the rise for quite some time, but this week sees him return to the big screen in his biggest leading role yet.

Dracula Untold sees the actor take on the central role of Vlad Tepes, in a movie that explores the origins of Dracula and a story that we all know so well.

Evans has enjoyed a very successful couple of years, with the likes of Fast 7 Furious 6 and The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug already under his belt.

However, Dracula Untold looks set to establish Evans as a bona-fide leading man.

Dracula Untold is Evans' first big screen out of the years, and is set to kick off a very busy period for the popular actor.

Evans is set to return to the role of Bard the Bowman in The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies, which is third and final instalment in Peter Jackson's trilogy.

We were introduced to Bard for the first time in The Desolation of Smaug, but the actor is set to play an even greater role this time around.

The Battle of Five Armies is already one of the most anticipated films of December 2014, and is set to see The Hobbit trilogy go out with a bang.

Evans will make the leap from big budget blockbusters to British action/drama High-Rise.

High-Rise is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by J.G. Ballard, and will see Evans team up with director Ben Wheatley for the first time.

The movie is set to follow the residents of a tower block whose lives been to get out of control.

An all-star cast of the film has been assembled, as Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, and James Purefoy will also star.

High-Rise is set to hit the big screen in 2015, and is set to be one of the British movies not to miss.

Evans is also set to take over the role of Eric Draven as The Crow is remade by director F. Javier Gutiérrez.

The Crow is a movie that has been in the pipeline for some time, but Evans is the only casting announcement that has so far been made.

The Crow is one of the biggest cult movies of nineties, and I can't wait to see this new film and how Evans performs in the central role.

Luke Evans is quickly becoming a big acting star and he really does have a very exciting year ahead of him.

Dracula Untold is released 3rd October.
