Here’s Who to Cast If They Make an Overwatch Movie
Overwatch is one of the biggest games of the summer, and the year as well. Eventually, it’s going to get to a point where the game won’t just be a game. Sure, there’s the animated shorts that are practically movies in and of themselves, not to mention the graphic novel that’s getting released next year, but we mean something different. Blizzard clearly has plans for this to go bigger, and bigger it indeed needs to go. That’s right, folks. We’re talking about a full blown movie.
Of course, whether or not Blizzard decides to make a movie for Overwatch is completely up to them, and we don’t know for sure if that’s a thing. (Given how Warcraft left, the odds are that this is something that they’re considering on their next movie docket.) But on the off case that there is going to be a movie for the game (and assuming that it’s not going to be animated, either 2D or CG), we came up with a list of actors that we think would perfectly portray the now 22 characters of this hero shooter. We did our best to find actors that were reflective of the nationality that each actual character reflected.
