      Because Marvel-Disney have nothing for him and people are increasingly realizing he just isn’t that entertaining. So he is desperate to get on to another franchise that will protect him when he inevitably cancels himself for hateful shit.

      Plus, he is a right wing chud and, if rumors are to be believed, this avoids vaccination requirements for big productions.

          Jake was a mute in Jak and Daxter, then a pissed off asshole in Jak 2, then a more wholesome but pragmatic asshole on Jak 3. Chris Prat just doesn’t fit the bill for any of his characters, so I think they’re just going for a “pretty boy” with funny words.

          Quite the opposite of Jak.

    Is Tom Holland now better known for Uncharted rather than Spiderman?

    We don’t want game movies. We would rather have new games based on these titles. Like how hard is Jax & Daxter? Make it move like GTA with some dark/light magic thrown in and a little steampunk and its done.

    Who thinks that they’ll actually make the movie about the game characters, vs just using the same names and not caring beyond that?

    What if you actually make a new game in the series first? Or even just remaster the old games? Because I don’t think there’s a lot of people at the moment that remember the games and would want to see a movie of it.

    Honestly couldn’t care less. But if that means more Jak & Daxter games then go ahead.

    I’m ok with this. Not excited to have Chris Pratt voice a Jak and Daxter character but it’ll bring attention to the IP which might give us a new game.

    I hope the rumors are false. Hasn’t hollywood ruined enough franchises by now? At the very least give us a remaster of the original trilogy, they’re timeless masterpieces.
