Who is Ludwig? <\/strong>The one returning character from Army of the Dead (so far as we know), Ludwig Dieter is an eccentric German safecracker. At the start of the film he is merely a sheepish bank teller going by his real name of Sebastian, but his deep love and respect for the practice of safecracking soon puts him on the radar of career criminal Gwendoline.<\/p>\n
A smitten (and shocked) Sebastian eventually joins Gwendoline\u2019s plan to rob three impenetrable vaults spread across Europe, a heist that would see him transform into the badass safecracker we meet in Army of the Dead, complete with the brand new identity of Ludwig Dieter.<\/p>\n
As with Army of the Dead, Ludwig provides much of the comic relief for the film, but also the romance, as Ludwig appears to discover the key to Gwendoline\u2019s heart as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was super pleased because it tells the story of Ludwig Dieter before the Army of the Dead film,\u201d Schweigh\u00f6fer told RadioTimes.com<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>and other press. \u201cSo it will be a huge heist movie with huge, huge, huge, heist stuff you\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Matthias Schweigh\u00f6fer been in?\u00a0<\/strong>Other than Zack Snyder\u2019s Army of the Dead, Schweigh\u00f6fer has a wide skill set as a voice artist, director and producer as well as actor. He has appeared in World War Two biopics, The Red Baron and Valkyrie, lent his voice to Playmobil: The Movie and joined the action and thriller genre as the lead in Amazon Prime\u2019s first German original series You Are Wanted.<\/p>\n
Nathalie Emmanuel plays Gwendoline<\/strong><\/h2>\n $\""nathalie\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
Who is Gwendoline?\u00a0<\/strong>Billed as the mastermind of the group, the mysterious Gwendoline is the leader behind the heist plot. Cold, calculated and professional on the outside, Gwendoline is masking a desire to love and be loved \u2013 which Ludwig discovers as their odd-couple dynamic turns romantic.<\/p>\n
Already rich and rebellious, Gwendoline is more interested in notoriety than the money and, going by her fight scenes in the trailer, she certainly has both the brains and brawn of a seasoned career criminal.<\/p>\n
What else has Nathalie Emmanuel been in? <\/strong>British star Nathalie Emmanuel is a local girl done good, starting out in Hollyoaks before her breakthrough role as trusted advisor Missandei on Game of Thrones<\/a>. She has since become an official part of the family in the Fast & Furious franchise and also appeared in two instalments of the Maze Runner series.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main thing that drew me in was the fact that I was expecting a zombie movie and it was actually a heist movie,\u201d she said of Army of Thieves. \u201cThat was a really interesting choice to do that and it was exciting.\u201d<\/p>

Who is Rolph? <\/strong>Rolph is the getaway driver in Gwendoline\u2019s heist crew, who is just as proficient at put-downs as he is driving.<\/p>\n

Who is Korina? <\/strong>With each character nicely slotting into established heist roles, Korina is the hacker for Gwendoline\u2019s crew. She uses her tech-savvy skills to locate the three Hans Wagner safes.<\/p>\n
What else has Ruby O. Fee been in? <\/strong>Costa-Rican-German actress and model Ruby O. Fee is best known for starring in fellow Netflix film Polar, World War Two docudrama The Resistance and German film As We Dreamed.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI was so excited to be a part of the whole Zack Snyder universe and the story is amazing. It\u2019s not zombies but it\u2019s safes and heists, the whole crew together, and also playing with Nat and with Matthias directing was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who is Brad Cage?<\/strong> The \u201creal-life action hero\u201d of Gwendoline\u2019s crew \u2013 with the name to match \u2013 Brad Cage is the muscle who takes care of the group\u2019s more action-oriented and violent needs.<\/p>\n
What else has Stuart Martin been in? <\/strong>Scottish actor Stuart Martin is best known for his work in historical dramas such as Medici, Jamestown and Miss Scarlet and the Duke.

Who is Delacroix? <\/strong>Delacroix is the big bad of the film: an Interpol agent who is hunting down Gwendoline\u2019s heist crew along with his partner Beatrix. As with most of the characters in this film, Delacroix is not concerned with the impending zombie apocalypse, instead becoming increasingly obsessed with catching the film\u2019s protagonists.<\/p>\n

Who is Bly Tanaka? <\/strong>Interestingly Bly was the owner of the safe in the original Army of the Dead \u2013 and seems to be the target once again in this prequel. He can be seen in a still image in the trailer, so it remains to be seen whether he\u2019ll turn up in person.<\/p>\n
