The planet Pandora still takes center stage, as does the cryptic Vault.

Still,some belovedBorderlandspersonalities are missing.

10Handsome Jack

One of the most glaring omissions is Handsome Jack, the main antagonist ofBorderlands 2.

Between his ego and his ruthlessness, Handsome Jack is a detriment to Pandora.

Even though the series' most compelling villain was cut, Atlas seems to be a Handsome Jack stand-in.

Clearly, the film gave his role as the crew’s tank to Krieg.

Like Brick, Mordecai is a fan-favorite character who appears in other games as a supporting character.

If anything, the Tiny Tina featured in the Borderlands movie seems more akin to Gaige at least personality-wise.

That said,the movie probably didn’t want to feature both Gaige and Tina.

Based on the video game franchise, Borderlands is a sci-fi action-comedy film that follows Cate Blanchett as Lilith, a treasure hunter who returns to her home planet, Pandora, to find a tycoon’s missing daughter. Together with a group of unlikely allies, such as a soldier, a teenaged demolitions expert, a wise-cracking robot, and an eccentric scientist, the group will work together to save the girl - all while learning to deal with each other’s unyielding quirks.

In essence, Angel can pass herself off as an AI being by phasing into technology.

Sadly, thecameo from theBorderlandsvoice actor, who plays Pain, was cut from the final film.

InBorderlands 3,Pain and Terror are bandits who become enthralled by the Calypso Twins' talk of family.

The Borderlands movie could be the start of a new franchise based on the games.

Here’s where there is a Borderlands post-credits scene teasing more.
