“Fouth Wing” fans finally have their Xaden Riorson.
\n\nAmazon Prime Video revealed Thursday that Emilio Sakraya will play the brooding male lead alongside Esther McGregor as Violet Sorrengail, the protagonist and narrator of the fantasy book series. They’re the main characters in Rebecca Yarros’ “Fourth Wing” trilogy (which has two more books on the way), about magic-wielding dragon riders.
\n\nIn the books, Xaden is described as a large, dominating wing leader with dark, intimidating features who is highly revered by the rest of the Basgiath War College. He originally detests Violet because of past familial drama, but it doesn’t take long for their tense relationship to descend into steamy romance.
\n\nSakraya, a 30-year-old German actor, has numerous credits to his name, including “Rhinegold,” Netflix’s “Tribes of Europa” and “Warrior Nun.” His other recent projects include “Those About to Die,” and he’s set to appear in Season 3 of “One Piece.” In these roles, he’s gotten experience playing rebel leaders and performing his own combat sequences and stunts. Along with his action-packed TV and filmography, Sakraya is also a musician. As an electronic pop artist, he has over 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and has sold out tours across Europe.
