Mere days after announcing that theyโ€™d be partnering with Itโ€™s Always Sunny in Philidelphia star Rob McElhenney, Rooster Teeth has revealed they are working with another huge name: Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan. Similar to McElhenney, Jordan will be lending his voice to an upcoming Rooster Teeth animated series, gen:Lock.

The star will play lead character Julian Chase, a next-generation mecha pilot. These giant, futuristic weaponized robots are controlled by humans, very similar to Pacific Rim and Transformers concept wise.

Rooster Teeth

While it may seem odd that such a high profile movie actor would join a smaller scaled produced anime series, Michael B. Jordanโ€™s production company, Outlier Society Productions, will co-produce gen:Lock in association with Rooster Teeth. Head of Rooster Teeth Animation Gray G. Haddock will be in charge of writing and directing the project.

โ€œMichaelโ€™s visionary career choices and commitment to meaningful entertainment, not to mention his love of anime, line up perfectly with what drives Rooster Teeth,โ€ Haddock said. โ€œWeโ€™re thrilled for the opportunity to do some cool sci-fi storytelling together.โ€

No premiere date for gen:Lock has been set yet, though it is expected to premiere in late 2018, exclusively on Rooster Teethโ€™s streaming service, First, with subscriptions starting at $4.99 monthly.

There is no doubt that this summer/fall will be Rooster Teethโ€™s most dominant Animation run yet. Alongside gen:Lock, hit shows RWBY, Camp Camp, Red vs Blue (already airing), and the newly announced Spikeface are all set to return for new seasons. The companyโ€™s other channels, Achievement Hunter and Letโ€™s Play, will also bring in the views, with new videos, podcasts, and original programming airing each week. Itโ€™ll be interesting to see which of the current shows that are being tested during โ€œpilot monthโ€ will stick around as well.
