So not entirely right, but still...

Apparently the Forgotten Realms Wiki confirms this!

If Fletcher says he's in the movie, he's likely in the movie, but the Forgotten Realms Wiki does not confirm anything.

Except for listing him in the movie, but I did state it isn't entirely accurate anyway.

Dungeons and Dragons Movie Story, Tone Revealed

Producer Roy Lee exclusively tells us the new Dungeons & Dragons movie will have a Guardians of the Galaxy feel inside of a Tolkien-like universe.

The Yawning Portal will be an important set-piece.

That moves it from Neverwinter to Waterdeep.

Though that article was written back in 2016... And Roy Lee is no longer attatched.

DISREGARD. Though I'll leave my mistake for all to see.

"Chainmail" is a great old-school project name to use in-house, before it was known this was the D&D movie, but it won't be the movie title, as it means nothing to the general public.
