Beyond that, the casting of Chastain in The Division is in keeping with Ubisoft Motion Pictures’ trend of attaching top-notch talent to headline its video game film adaptations. Assassin’s Creed features Michael Fassbender and Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard as its leads, while Splinter Cell is slated to star Tom Hardy as the original games’ protagonist, Sam Fisher; and now, Gyllenhaal and Chastain are set for The Division.
THR is reporting that Jessica Chastain is currently in talks for a presumed-leading role in The Division opposite Gyllenhaal.
It’s plausible that both Chastain and Gyllenhaal are up to play “Division” agents in the movie version of The Division.
