The Last Witch Hunter: Vin Diesel Shaves for a Present Day Slay

The early teaser photos for The Last Witch Hunter, in which Vin Diesel plays the immortal title character, showed the lead’s character in the past, with a particularly gnarled beard. Sadly, such savage piece of facial décor does not seem to make it to present day for his ultimate battle alongside Rose Leslie and Elijah Wood. A massive, flaming sword however, does. 

In The Last Witch Hunter, Diesel plays “Kaulder, an ancient warrior cursed with immortality after defeating the Queen Witch.” Presently, he “partners with his natural enemy, a female witch (Leslie), to stop the covens of New York City from unleashing a plague on humanity.” Michael Caine, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and Julie Engelbrecht round out the cast. Directed by Breck Eisner, The Last Witch Hunter is out October 23rd, 2015 from Lionsgate/Summit. [MTV]
