Call of Dutyhas often been a magnet for Hollywood actors who have starred in both the games themselves or marketing material surrounding the games in the past. The most recent rumor is thatCall of Duty: WW2will featureTransformersactor Josh Duhamel.
Fueling the rumor is the fact that Duhamel just recently started following the officialCall of DutyTwitter account, which has taken on a fullCall of Duty: WW2makeover leading up to the official reveal for the game.
Further searching of Duhamel’s Twitter account reveals a tweet from last month that features the actor in a full mocap suit, which now many are speculating is connected toCall of Duty.
While Duhamel could be doing mocap acting for almost any video game or other animated project, it’s another piece of evidence for him being cast in this year’sCall of Duty. Fans are also trying to connect the dots between this and a particularimage that was leakedfromCall of Duty: WW2featuring a soldier that bears a resemblance to Duhamel.
It wouldn’t be a surprise if a big-name actor was cast inCall of Duty: WW2. Developer Sledgehammer Games is calling this year’s entry in the popular FPS its"biggest game to date"and a recent leak of campaign details appear to promise a campaign with “blockbuster cinematic authenticity.”
According tothe leaked box art, the campaign is said to send players to “land in Normandy on D-Day and battle across Europe” and feature “the story of an unbreakable brotherhood of common men fighting to preserve freedom in a world on the brink of tyranny.”
Call of Dutyhas regularly featured popular actors, includingGame of Thrones’Kit Harringtonin last year’sCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Sledgehammer Games' last foray inCall of Duty,Advanced Warfarefeatured Kevin Spacey, so the developer is no stranger to having a big name in its game.
The official reveal forCall of Duty: WW2is set for Wednesday, April 26 and could offer confirmation of Duhamel’s involvement with the project.
Call of Duty: WW2has a leaked release date of June 28, 2025 and is set to come to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
