Chris Pratt as a Bile Titan in the Helldivers movie? Helldivers 2 studio’s CEO seems ok with that, so long as he and other A-listers “all get killed violently immediately”

Hey, helldiving’s a dangerous profession, even if you’ve already survived several blockbusters with big action sequences.

Specifically, he was responding to someone alluding to the fantasy casting of Super Mario Movie star Chris Pratt as a Bile Titan that players were joking about on the game’s subreddit pretty much the moment the film was confirmed to be a thing . They also tapped Adam Sandler to play John Helldiver and Jack Black to play a hellbomb, because why not?

Now, in another of the quick Q & A-style exchanges he regularly has with players on Helldivers 2’s official Discord server, Jorjani has provided the official response to the idea of Bile Titan Pratt that we’ve all been waiting for.

“We’re all hoping for as many A-list actors as possible,” he declared, “as long as they all get killed violently immediately.” Nice. And definitely faithful to the Helldivers experience for most of us.

Naturally, this gag has only inspired more brainstorming from the casting directors on the subreddit , with one immediately having declared that if this is how it’s going down, Sean Bean needs to be chucked in there as a veteran of the first Helldivers game that defies expectation by being the only A-lister to live long enough to see the end credits.

So,, that last bit sounds good if you’re a fan of the cool cool things Helldivers 2 modders have recently been creating.
