There’s been more news on the casting of the Live-action film of Akira. While trying to attempt to confirm last week’s rumor of Zac Efron being casted, this rumor has also appeared. It’s been said that Morgan Freeman is interested in playing the role of Colonel Shikishima.

A lot of people are already hating the idea of Zac Efron, but think there is hope if this rumor about Morgan Freeman is true. But one things for sure, if this is a Hollywood movie, then we can expect that it’s going to change the setting from Japan to America. It will probably be a full American cast. Since there has been a sudden outburst of casting rumors maybe the Live-action adaption of Akira will really begin shooting next year.

What do you think of the casting rumors so far? I’m a fan of Morgan Freeman so I would happily watch it, but Zac Efron might change my mind on the matter! We will all have to wait and see if these rumors are true or if they are lies.
