Bungie pays tribute to Lance Reddick, sharing the actor has “performances yet to come”
Following the passing of actor Lance Reddick, Bungie has shared that there are still “performances yet to come,” in Destiny 2.
Last week came the unfortunate news that Reddick had passed away, having appeared in a number of beloved series like The Wire, John Wick, Fringe, Guerilla Games’ pair of Horizon games, and notably as Commander Zavala in the Destiny series. Live service games are obviously a living, breathing thing, meaning that there are regular updates, often with more pieces of story. In a recent blog post from Bungie, the developer shared a tribute to Reddick, and noted that there are still performances of his to come in Destiny 2.
“As the voice of Commander Zavala—the stalwart commander of the Vanguard—Lance brought to life a character who has become virtually synonymous with Destiny itself,” reads the post. “For nearly a decade, Guardians around the world have found purpose and comfort in Zavala’s presence, bolstered by that unmistakable voice, so full of strength, serenity, and nobility… As an actor, musician, gamer, and family man, the passion Lance brought to the things he loved was reflected in the eyes and hearts of all who loved him.

Next James Bond Actor: Taron Egerton Explains Why It Won’t Be Him
Actor Taron Egerton has already ruled himself out of being the next James Bond, and he’s now explained more about his thought process about not pursuing the role. Egerton told The Telegraph (via The Hollywood Reporter), “I don’t think I’m the right choice for it,” due in part to the demand on the actor to be physically fit for a long time.
“You have to be consistently statuesque to be that guy. And that’s something that I am still striving for. I’ve always struggled with my weight,” he said.
Egerton said when is considering offers for a new role, he factors in how much gym time would be required and makes his decision based in part on that. Playing James Bond is more than just playing the character, it’s like “being a brand ambassador as well as being an actor,” he said.
