Dreamworks has the former Na’vi leading their re-imagining of the adventurer’s H. Rider Haggard’s 1885 novel King Solomon’s Mines. Instead of exploring Africa in search of a missing person (as was the plot of Haggard’s novel) Worthington’s Quatermain will be exploring planets.

The Quatermain character was first played by Hal Lawrence in 1919 and most recently by the late Patrick Swayze and Sean Cameron Mitchel in television and straight-to-video fare.

He’s a literary hero deserving of a good film, or, at least, a successful one. Worthington has led both.

The young actor is currently shooting The Fields, directed by Michael Mann’s daughter, Ami Canaan Mann.
