We heard a lot of speculative buzz before Blizzard finally unveiled Doomfist, the mysterious new playable character in Overwatch. One of the big rumors suggested big Hollywood actor and Overwatch fan Terry Crews would play the voice of the new hero. However, the role ultimately went to Sahr Nguajah.
Despite Blizzard's decision to go with Nguajah for Doomfist instead, it doesn't mean Terry Crews won't have a future role to play. After all, the popular actor did visit Blizzard Studios.
"I went down to Blizzard and we were talking about possibilities... I realized that I don't wanna be the guy that hijacks a game, you know? The creators have a vision and I didn't want to mess that up," Crews shared in an interview with PC Gamer.
"When I saw that Doomfist was created, that they'd went with another guy, the whole thing, it's actually quite perfect, it's absolutely amazing. I can honestly say that they made a move that's better for the game, which is what they're about. I know people were upset but I'm not."
"I let them know that whatever fitted in their program, I would love to do," he said. "If I ever do anything with Blizzard, you watch: it'll be perfect. With those guys, we're all friends, we're all good. I think there will be something coming down the line."
Who knows what the future holds for Overwatch and Terry Crews, but we certainly have reason to be optimistic.
What sort of Overwatch hero could you see Crews play? Your guess is as good as ours, but we'd be pretty excited if Blizzard brings back Terry from the Old Spice commercials:
- Amazing Art Style
- Balanced Mechanics
- Characters Keep You Coming Back For More
- No Single Player
- Overwhelming At First
