Call of Duty: Black Ops III News: New Trailer Features Michael B Jordan, Marshawn Lynch, Cara Delevingne [Watch]
Activision has dropped a new live-action trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops III, featuring actor Michael B. Jordan, NFL star Marshawn Lynch and model Cara Delevingne.
Playing off the game's signature tag line, "There's a soldier in all of us," the trailer centers on generic everyman Kevin, who is apparently the most badass gunman ever.
"What? Y'all don't know about Kevin," says narrator Jordan of "Fantastic Four" and "Friday Night Lights" fame. "He's a bad man."
Not even Seattle Seahawks running back Lynch, aka "Beast Mode," is a match for overweight Kevin's skills. But then 23-year-old English model Delevingne drops from the sky to steal his thunder.
The newest clip follows Activision's trend of releasing star-studded, comedic trailers close to release. With a market as reliable as Call of Duty's, it's likely that players already know what to expect in the game itself. Advertisements like this only serve to hype Black Ops III further, while no doubt poking a little fun at people who like to live vicariously through their virtual avatars.
"'Seize Glory' captures that feeling of exhilaration and accomplishment in which anyone can go on an amazing run and become his or her own champion in Call of Duty," Activision CMO Tim Ellis said in a press release. "This campaign celebrates our community and the unforgettable gameplay moments they'll experience in Black Ops III."
Ellis also noted that the trailer's star Kevin was played by newcomer Thomas Polk, who performed his own stunts, an impressive feat.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a futuristic action title that takes place in the year 2065, 40 years after the previous installment, Black Ops II.
The game will feature voice work from Christopher Meloni of "Law & Order: SVU" and Katee Sackhoff of "Battlestar Galactica."
Call of Duty: Black Ops III launches this week on Nov. 6 for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. Check out the trailer below!
