Back in 2016, John Sturges directed a remake of the classic 1960 Western superhit The Magnificent Seven. Just like the original, the remake also had an ensemble cast, featuring some major stars of Hollywood.

The concept itself was taken from Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai but presented an Americanized, western version of the story. A group of seven gunfighters are employed to protect a small town called Rose Creek from a private army of an evil industrialist. The movie featured the following official synopsis:

“Seven gunmen from a variety of backgrounds are brought together by a vengeful young widow to protect her town from the private army of a destructive industrialist.”

Directed by Antoine Fuqua with a screenplay written by the likes of Nic Pizzolatto and Richard Wenk, the movie featured cast members such as Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, and Chris Pratt among others.

The Magnificent Seven: Full list of cast and characters

1)Denzel Washington as Sam Chisolm

First and foremost, the film featured cinema veteran Denzel Washington as Sam Chisolm, the leader of the seven. The character, famously dressed all in black, was a warrant officer and a bounty hunter who was expertly portrayed by him.

Denzel Washington has played some memorable roles in a career spanning more than four decades. He has starred in movies such as Malcolm X, The Book of Eli, and Training Day, and adeptly portrayed Sam Chisolm as well.

2) Chris Pratt as Joshua Faraday

Chris Pratt took on the role of Joshua Faraday, who is a gambler especially skilled in performing card tricks. Boasting an obsession with explosives and known for being a womanizer, Faraday was one of the most hilarious characters in The Magnificent Seven.

As an actor, Pratt himself has been involved in multiple major franchises, movies, and TV series. He is notably known for his work as Starlord in the Guardians of the Galaxy films and has been part of projects such as Parks and Recreation and The Jurassic Park franchise.

3) Ethan Hawke as Goodnight Robicheaux

Ethan Hawke was seen playing the role of Goodnight Robicheaux in The Magnificent Seven. The character was a former soldier and sharpshooter who had PTSD and was shown to be utterly superstitious in the movie. Hawke, like some of the other actors in The Magnificent Seven, has also been a part of some major projects in his career.

This includes Training Day, Before Sunrise, Dead Poets Society, and Sinister. Hawke’s character was utterly complex in The Magnificent Seven and had a range of quirks.
