He will be part of a talented ensemble cast including Emma Myers, Jennifer Coolidge, Jemaine Clement, Kate McKinnon, and Jason Momoa.
This won’t be Black’s first foray into portraying a video game character on the big screen. Just last year, he delivered a stellar performance as Bowser in “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” earning praise from fans and critics. Moreover, later this year, Black will showcase his vocal talents as Claptrap in the upcoming Borderlands film, slated for an August release. This will mark his third time embodying a video game character in a major film within a span of two years.
