In the 2014 film Noah, who plays Noah?

In the 2014 film Noah, Russell Crowe plays Noah.

Directed by Darren Aronofsky, Noah is a 2014 biblical fantasy film inspired by the story in Genesis. Russell Crowe portrays the title character, while Jennifer Connelly plays Naameh, Noah’s wife, and Anthony Hopkins plays Methuselah. The cast also includes Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth, and Emma Watson.

The film is not a scene-for-scene adaptation of Genesis. It expands the biblical narrative with invented characters, dramatic conflicts, and fantasy elements, including the Watchers. Aronofsky and co-writer Ari Handel developed a version that emphasizes moral responsibility, survival, and the relationship between humanity and the natural world.

Noah was released in March 2014 and generated controversy in some religious communities because of its creative departures from scripture. Those differences do not change the straightforward casting fact: Russell Crowe is the actor credited with the title role.
