Hall will play Ashley Williams, Cavill's love interest. Hardy will play Garrus Vakarian, a member of Shepard's team. Bardem will play Saren Arterius, the villain. Vikander will play Liara T'Soni, another member of Shepard's team. Bardem, Hardy and Vikander's roles all primarily involve motion capture and voice work, which is how all three were able to fit it into their busy schedules.
