Prior to the release of I Am Legend 2, Will Smith to reprise a role similar to Gary Neville in an upcoming mobile video game.

After Conquering Music and Acting, Will Smith Finally Steps Into the World of Video Games With &#8216;RPG Undawn&#8217;

Hollywood stars are no strangers to success and stardom. Over the years, we have
witnessed a plethora of individuals who have managed to carve a niche out.
However, there are a handful who manage to take their legacies even beyond the
film industry. Fitting the bill is Will Smith
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith]. Perhaps one of the most successful
men in Hollywood, the Men In Black star’s legacy is not unknown to the masses.
Following a successful career in hip-hop and later acting, it seems like Smith
now plans to take over the video game industry as well.

Over the years, we have witnessed multiple crossovers between video game
franchises and Hollywood. Various actors have voiced characters in video games
while others have been huge gamers. However, on the other hand, it seems like
Will Smith plans to take things a level above. The King Richard actor will be
making his debut as a video game character in an upcoming PC and mobile game.

As per reports by Euro Gamer
[https://www.eurogamer.net/will-smith-reprises-i-am-legend-role-in-forthcoming-mobile-rpg-undawn],
the survival and adventure game RPG Undawn will star Smith as lead character
Trey Jones. The game will be set in a post apocalyptic era. It seems like the
actor is all set to star in a role similar to Gary Neville prior to the release
of I Am Legend 2
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-the-return-of-will-smith-in-i-am-legend-2-becomes-more-intriguing-with-the-new-timeline-and-retcons/].



The game will feature Smith in a role of a tour guide guiding survivors and
helping them navigate four years after a devastating disaster strikes our
planet. Interestingly, the actor’s part in the game is similar to his role in
the popular sci-fi film I Am Legend. RPG Undawn will allow the users to gather
resources and use weapons as they step in to the wild.

The game will be available for both iOS and Android users and will release on
15th June globally. This will also mark the first time, Smith will star in a
video game. So far, he has never voiced or done more than sitting for some cover
art in Men in Black II: Alien Escape.


ACTORS APART FROM WILL SMITH, WHO HAVE REPRISED THEIR ROLES IN VIDEO GAMES

Smith’s role in Trey Jones has a similar arc to Gary Neville in I Am Legend.
However, the actor is not the first to play a video game character similar to a
movie role. Previously, a number of popular film roles have been reprised in
various video games.



The late Kevin Conroy as Batman was perhaps one of the most popular roles in
superhero films. Owing to the actor’s flawless portrayal, multiple Batman games
featured him in the role. Next up, we have Daniel Craig as James Bond. We are no
strangers to the legacy that surrounds the actor’s performance in the film
franchise. Craig as 007 was featured in multiple video games, including the
original James Bond 007: Blood Stone.

It would seem, Will Smith is all set to join the bandwagon of such actors.
