“I’m really interested to see where entertainment heads as these video games, the graphic are getting so good, and VR is getting so good, and you know, what’s going to happen to movies?…If gaming is the way to do that I’m all for looking into it, but nobody has asked me as of yet.”

It certainly wouldn’t be the first time a Hollywood star has done in video games. More recently, Game of Thrones’ Kit Harrington will be playing the villain for the upcoming Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Exactly what kind of game Matt Damon could be is unclear, but given his recent filmography, it could be either an action game, or he could be the protagonist for No Man’s Sky.
