Developer Remedy Entertainment has tweeted a new image of two well-known actors who are set to appear in their upcoming Xbox One-exclusive IP, Quantum Break.
Shawn Ashmore, best known for his role as the Iceman in the X-Men franchise, has joined the cast of Quantum Break along with fellow actor Dominic Monaghan, who played the role of Meriadoc Brandybuck in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings films and Charlie Pace on ABC’s Lost.
According to the tweet, both actors are currently doing motion capture in Los Angeles for the eagerly awaited title. Hollywood actors have become even more prominent to feature in video games over the past few years, with recent examples including Kevin Spacey (Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare), Norman Reedus (P.T./Silent Hills) and Beyond: Two Souls duo Willem Dafoe and Ellen Page.
