According to director Duncan Jones, his script for the movie is "like Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) had a baby with The Raid: Redemption (2011)".
Duncan Jones has stated that Aneurin Barnard will use his native Welsh accent for the character of Rogue Trooper, which is not commonly heard in lead characters outside of UK television productions
Rogue trooper in the British comic 2000AD is a genetically engineered soldier who's stuck in the middle of a war with the "Norts" and the "Southers"
