<p><strong>Update:</strong> The new movie poster has been added.</p>
<p><strong>Original Story:</strong> It&#8217;s been over two years since a <em>Ratchet &; Clank</em> movie <a href="https://bagogames.com/ratchet-clank-movie-coming-to-theaters-in-2015/">was announced by Sony Pictures</a> and it&#8217;s been just as long since we&#8217;ve wondered who was going to be starring in it. Now it&#8217;s finally been revealed that most, if not all the series&#8217; core cast will be back along with some brand new additions.</p>
<p><a href="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/04232559/Ratchet-Clank-Film-Poster-BagoGaes.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-83059 size-medium" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/04232559/Ratchet-Clank-Film-Poster-BagoGaes.jpg" alt="Ratchet &; Clank Film Poster BagoGaes" width="207" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>You guessed it: James Arnold Taylor and David Kaye are both returning as the series&#8217; eponymous duo. Armin Shimerman will meanwhile be reprising his role as the evil Dr. Nefarious, with Jim Ward as the galaxy&#8217;s biggest washed-up superhero, Captain Quark. For those of you not in the know, the franchise originally followed the misadventures of Ratchet and his robotic companion saving the galaxy one gag and gun at a time fighting a variety of tongue-in-cheek villains, Dr. Nefarious included.</p>
<p>According to the Hollywood Reporter, Paul Giamatti (<em>American Splendor, <a href="https://bagogames.com/swinging-high-swinging-low-amazing-spider-man-2-review-2/">The Amazing Spider-man 2</a></em>), Sylvester Stallone (<em>The Expendables, Rambo</em>), John Goodman (<em>Monsters, Inc.</em>), and Rosario Dawson (<em><a href="https://bagogames.com/truth-or-dare-daredevil-episodes-10-12-review/">Daredevil</a>, Sin City</em>) are all hopping onboard. Originally slated for this year, the film&#8217;s now got a 2016 date attached to it.</p>
<p>The movie will now follow the studio&#8217;s <a href="https://bagogames.com/ratchet-clank-remake-coming-ps4-next-year/">remake of the original Playstation 2 version</a> of <em>Ratchet &; Clank </em>for Playstation 4, which recently received a last-generation rerelease for Playstation 3 along with its sequels, <em>Going Commando</em> and <em>Up Your Arsenal</em>. The remake is intended to be exactly that: a top-to-bottom remake from the ground-up with new graphics, new weapons, and a new story with the original cast.</p>
<p>Written by Insomniac alumnus TJ Fixman and directed by <em>TMNT</em>&#8216;s Jericca Cleland and Kevin Munroe, the movie&#8217;s set to <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/10/ratchet-and-clank-movie-showing-at-cannes-in-may">premiere at the Cannes film festival</a> later this month on<strong> May 15th-16th</strong>.</p>
