Are you prepared to meet the charismatic wing leader?

As Amazon MGM Studios diligently develops the highly anticipated TV adaptation of the Fourth Wing fantasy book series, Josh Heuston provided an intriguing response when questioned about his potential role as the leading character, Xaden Riorson.

“You would have to ask the scribes, I suppose,” the Thor: Love and Thunder actor cleverly remarked during the Last of Us season two premiere and Max Australia launch event. He acknowledged that he is aware of the circulating rumors suggesting he might portray either Xaden or his cousin Bodhi.

So, how does Heuston feel about being referred to as Xaden?

“Interesting,” he replied, adding, “yeah, that’s a fantastic nickname.”

But does he believe it truly fits him? The 28-year-old actor expressed, “Hopefully, who knows?”

While specific casting details regarding Fourth Wing remain confidential, the book’s author, Rebecca Yarros, offered some fiery insights into what devoted fans can expect from the TV adaptation. This story revolves around courageous dragon riders at the fictional Basgiath War College as they undergo rigorous training as part of the Fourth Wing within the Riders Quadrant.
