A flame-haired Cate Blanchett was barely recognizable after undergoing a dramatic hair transformation for her role as Lilith in her upcoming film Borderlands.
In a new trailer for the sci-fi action-comedy, based on the video game of the same name, the 54-year-old actress rocked a striking red wig and combat-ready attire.
As her character embarks on a mission to find the missing daughter of Atlas (Edgar Ramírez) on planet Pandora, she teams up with ‘a band of outcasts,’ according to People.
This includes working alongside ‘former soldier Roland (Kevin Hart), pre-teen demolitionist Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt), Tina’s bodyguard Krieg (Florian Munteanu), scientist Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis) and robot Claptrap (Jack Black).’

In addition to the movie poster dropping on Tuesday, a trailer for Borderlands was released by Lionsgate.
Then 10-second teaser began with the two-time Oscar winner furiously shooting a gun into the distance as she laid on her back.
Before the brief preview concluded, her character can be heard muttering: ‘God, I hate this planet.’
Borderlands is based on a role-playing shooter game that takes place in a space Western science fantasy setting, created and produced by Gearbox Software.
Blanchett plays Lilith, a superhuman ‘Siren’ who is one of the games several playable characters and one of only six women in the galaxy who have her psychic abilities.
The game follows four ‘vault hunters’ on the planet of Pandora, where they try and find a secret location full with advanced alien technology while fending off marauders and thieves.
This marks her latest film, following the release of her 2023 movie, The New Boy, in July.
In 2022, she had three films released, including The School for Good and Evil, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio and Tár.
