The actor, 31, plays entrepreneur Henk Rogers, who went through a laborious legal battle over the rights to the computer game  – Tetris – from the 1980s in Russia.

He shared a sneak peek of his new role to Instagram last month. Posting to the photo sharing site, he uploaded a shot of himself as Henk, in a shirt and tie, with a very 80s-style moustache.

‘Felt Sexy. Might delete later,’ he captioned this.

He sported the same look in another backstage snap, also posted to Instagram, as he reclined in his trailer, kicking back with his beloved pet.

In December it was reported that the movie remains partially un-cast, with the roles of real-life businessmen Robert and Kevin Maxwell and the game’s Russian creator yet to be filled. It is being directed by Jon S. Baird.  

It came after Netflix cancelled one of Taron’s other projects, fantasy series The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance, after a single season.

The series served as a prequel to Jim Henson’s 1982 fantasy film The Dark Crystal, which has become a cult classic among fantasy fans in recent years.
