Petra revealed in Ender’s Game

February 21st, 2013 by Marc Comments

A new image has been released from Gavin Hood‘s adaptation of Orson Scott Card‘s Ender’s Game.

The picture gives us a first look at Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Petra Arkanian, the only girl in the Salamander Army, who befriends Ender.

Also, in the background you can see Khylin Rhambo as Dink Meeker (right, next to Ender), and Moises Arias as Bonzo Madrid (end of the table on the left).

Ender’s Game tells the story of Andrew ‘Ender’ Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a young boy sent away to BattleSchool to hone his military skills and, hopefully, save the world from an impending alien invasion.

The film also stars Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, Abigail Breslin and Harrison Ford, and is released on November 1.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
