By Maya Mayfield31st October 2013
Megan Fox will Star as the first female lead in the new Call of Duty: Ghosts Live Action Ad titled "Epic Night Out," this coming Saturday 2nd of November.
Previous Call of Duty adverts have always featured star studded strong male casts, but this year will be slightly different as actress Megan Fox will be the first female to ever take the leading role in the popular ad series. It has taken six years to feature a Female lead in the popular FPS series, so using Megan as the main lead in the live action ad is certainly a step in the right direction to appeal to a broader audience.
In a discussion with adweek, Chief creative officer Glenn Cole from 72andsunny responsible for Call of Duty's yearly ad campaigns said the decision to go with Megan Fox, was because she's cool, fun, sexy and a badass.
CMO Tim Ellis describes the live action ad featuring Megan Fox, as the Hangover mixed with Call of Duty. In a discussion with Adweek Tim said, Our aim each year is to surprise our audience and the entire world. We feel like this is the best advert we have ever done."
Talking to E News on set of the ad location, Megan Fox spoke of the importance of her lead role, regarding females soldiers being introduced to the franchise. “I know it is going to be great for my son to grow up and one day say ‘holy crap, that is my mom… It is about time we have females included as part of the cast of characters of these games because there are a lot of girl gamers out there as well.”
