The upcoming Sci-Fi flick Oblivion is set to make Nikolaj Coster-Waldau a star and many would consider that well deserved. With Game of Thrones and Scandinavian thriller Headhunters on the way his star is most definitely on the rise. In an interview with Empire Coster-Waldau, who plays a veteran weapons expert called Sykes in the movie, explained his character's relationship with Cruise's jaded trooper in intriguing terms when Empire caught up with him. "It's a Tom Cruise movie for sure; I don't think there's a scene without him. I play a soldier who's not a big fan of Tom's character. He's seen a lot of horrible things and there's a lot of boiled-up anger in him."
When asked if his character was a hero or a villain, he had this to say: "I think Tom's character would probably describe my character as a bad guy, but I don't think the audience would..." Oblivion is set for a 2013 release according to Universal, more news to follow in the coming months here on The Movie Bit.
