Elden Ring is arguably one of the best action role-playing games of all time if not the best and has garnered huge praises from players and critics alike and has been a commercial success. The game has only gotten popular day by day ever since it was released and several big names have expressed their love for Elden Ring.
This includes the world’s richest person, Elon Musk, and WWE star Randy Orton. However, Samoa Joe, the current All Elite Wrestling (AEW) world champion is doing more than just playing Elden Ring, voicing a popular character in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and appearing on Television shows.
Samoa Joe, Elden Ring, and Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League
Samoa Joe, the popular professional wrestler and the current All Elite Wrestling (AEW) world champion is known for his hard-hitting fighting style and exciting rivalries. Samoa Joe has been a long-time fan of Elden Ring and the world champion has expressed his love for the game. Joe spoke about Elden Ring at the AEW Unrestricted Podcast back in May 2022, months after the game’s release.
While answering fan questions from X/Twitter, one of the questions that was asked Joe was the games he was currently playing to which he replied that he had recently finished Elden Ring, adding that he finished it without any broken builds or hyper super magic builds. He further added that after finishing Elden Ring, he’s been playing Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.
Samoa Joe has also appeared in a starring role for a streaming show called Twisted Metal. Twisted Metal is a post-apocalyptic action-comedy series adapted from vehicular combat video games of the same name published by Sony PlayStation. The Twisted Metal video games were released almost three years ago and were very popular.
The TV show pays tribute to the game and Joe plays the physical role of Sweet Tooth. Although Sweet Tooth is voiced by Will Arnett, the AEW champion shares the screen with popular stars like Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, and more. The show is funny and violent and Joe has done a great job playing the iconic role of Sweet Tooth.
Moreover, the AEW world champion is also voicing a character in Rocksteady Studios’ upcoming title Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Samoa Joe is voicing King Shark in Kill the Justice League and recently spoke about his experience voicing the character during an interview with Bleacher Report.
Joe said that he had an amazing time voicing King Shark, adding that the character is “quite the intelligent savage” and he can easily relate to how King Shark feels about things. He added that it was incredible to be surrounded by the “super-talented voice cast” of the game and also appreciated Rocksteady Studios’ writing.
He also added that he is aware of different portrayals of King Shark across media and King Shark in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is probably the “most unique interpretation” of the character. While it is understandable that Joe will speak this highly of the game and character as it is nearing its release and also that he is voicing King Shark it remains to be seen how correct he is when the game launches on February 2, 2024.
