Mackenyu has quickly become a fan-favorite in the world of live-action adaptations. His portrayal of Roronoa Zoro in Netflix’sOne Piecewas widely praised, with fans really appreciating how well he brought the iconic swordsman to life.
WithOne PieceSeason 2 on the horizon, fans are eagerly awaiting his return as Zoro. However, it seems like the swordsman has once again lost his way, this time, wandering into the world ofAssassin’s Creed Shadows. He has officially joined Ubisoft’s upcoming game, voicing Gennojo.
Mackenyu’s entry intoAssassin’s Creed Shadowsraises excitement
Fans are thrilled to hear that Mackenyu is now part ofAssassin’s Creed Shadows. His involvement not only raises the excitement for the game but also adds credibility to the project, which has beensurrounded by controversy since its initial announcement.
In an interview withVariety, he revealed thatAssassin’s Creedholds a special place in his heart. He even shared his childhood memory of when he used to sneak over to a friend’s house just to experience the game. So, when he got the offer to joinShadows, he knew he had to be part of it.
Zoro Had Enough, Mackenyu’s Reaction to Iñaki Godoy Messing Around With Batman Costume Says It All
Mackenyu will voice and serve as the face of Gennojo, a key supporting character in the game. According to Ubisoft, Gennojo is described as a flirtatious rogue and trickster known for his wit and swagger, a role that seems like a perfect fit for him.
Beyond just voicing the character, he showed his real enthusiasm for theAssassin’s Creeduniverse when he was asked about starring in a live-action adaptation (if it ever becomes a reality). His response?
Please get my name in that.
It’s obvious he wants to step into a live-action Assassin’s Creed role. While One Piece certainly has the potential and material for so many seasons, he won’t be playing Zoro forever. And what’s better than becoming an Assassin? Given his action skills, he might just be the perfect fit.
Assassin’s Creedneeds a live-action redemption
Video game adaptations have always been a mixed bag of hit or miss. Some, like HBO’sThe Last of Us, have been massive successes, proving that faithful adaptations can work.
Others, like the 2016Assassin’s Creed, or a recentBorderlandsmovie, have completely missed the mark, failing to capture what made the games special. So, if Ubisoft and Netflix ever decide to greenlight another live-action adaptation of Assassin’s World, two things must happen.
An Interesting Feature in Assassin’s Creed Shadows Gives PC Users a Clear Edge Over Consoles
Firstly, the adaptation must stay true to the source material. While bringing something new to the table can be good, straying too far away from what makes the game special is a recipe for disaster. you’re able to see the various adaptations.
Secondly, Mackenyu needs to be part of it. Givenhis excellent portrayal of Zoroand his great passion for the franchise, not casting him in a lead role would be a missed opportunity.
In the end, Mackenyu’s involvement inShadowsis already a major win for the game, and his excitement for the franchise makes him a perfect choice for a future live-action adaptation. Ubisoft, Netflix- make it happen.
