In perhaps the most surprising reveal of them all, dashing leading man and all-around-handsome dude Chris Pine isn’t playing a noble fighter or cunning ranger. He is playing a bard, a Dungeons & Dragons character class that, while serviceable with weapons, uses music as their main offense and defense. A bard uses music like spells, clouding the minds of enemies, inspiring allies, healing wounds, crafting illusions, and generally offering support on all fronts. Pine, known for his smoldering onscreen charm, is inspired casting here — what is a traveling bard if not a charming louche looking for his next payday in a tavern full of violent mercenaries for hire?
