Dead by Daylightย has broughtย its first real-world celebrity,ย Nicolas Cage, into the fog. Though the asymmetrical horror game already has its share of famous faces, Cage is the first actor to play a version of himself. Renowned for his quirky personality and charm as much as his extensive filmography, Cage seems a logical choice. Now that Behaviour Interactive has opened that door, it’s natural to wonder who will be next. The perk andย cosmetic possibilitiesย of other celebrities are endless. Though none of these celebs are currently reported to be coming to the game, a little wishful thinking never hurt.

Danny Trejo

Danny Trejo has already appeared alongside Michael Myers once. Hence, his potential appearance inย Dead by Daylightย isn’t far-fetched. Trejo’s career has, in many ways, been just as long and varied as Cage’s. He’s often played the grizzled tough guy in every other action and horror film of the last three decades. Trejo’s iconic tattoos, rough yet easygoing demeanor, and apparent willingness to say yes to most projects make him ideal survivor material. After all, he’s already appeared inย Def Jam: Fight for NYย as well as aย Far Cry 6ย DLC. Cage joinsย DbDย as an exaggerated version of himself, and Trejo could do much the same.

Michelle Rodriguez

Like Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez already has acting experiences under her belt that would make her great forย DbD.ย Her appearance in multipleย Resident Evilย films means seeing herย run from Nemesisย in the Garden on Joy would be perfectly in character. Fromย The Fast and the Furiousย toย Machete,ย Rodriguez has explored a variety of fun and interesting roles over the years. Cage is in good company. Rodriguez also boasts extensive experience in voice acting for video games. She lent her talents toย True Crime: Streets of LA, Halo 2,ย andย Call of Duty: Black Ops II,ย amongst others. Of all the actors and actresses who could join the cast, Rodriguez seems one of the most plausible. Just as Laurie brought Decisive Strike to the game, Rodriguez could also offer a potent perk to give survivors some means of fighting back.

Tilda Swinton

Tilda Swinton played an angel inย Constantine,ย and a vampire inย Only Lovers Left Alive.ย Her interest in horror and the supernatural seems well-established. Better yet, the esteemed actress has an androgynous fashion sense and impeccable swagger. Behaviour Interactive could create a host of incredible cosmetics based on the characters Swinton has played, let alone the actress’s real-life wardrobe. Everything Swinton does feels oddly practiced, which in many ways would make her the perfect counterpoint for Nicolas Cage’s wildโ€”debatably unhingedโ€”energy. The current survivor roster lacks anyone with the same vibe as Swinton, so the actress’s presence could only help.

Chloรซ Grace Moretz

In the years since she first stepped into the shoes of Hit-Girl inย Kick-Ass,ย Chloรซ Grace Moretz has flourished as an actress and taken on a number of exciting projects. However, one role comes immediately to mind in the context ofย Dead by Daylight: Carrie. The blood-drenched prom queen is a character many fans would kill for. Actually, most fans would rejoice at having any of Stephen King’s unforgettable characters come toย DbD. In lieu of everyone’s favorite telekinetic killer, fans could at least celebrate the arrival of the woman who played her. In 2012 Moretz lent her voice to Lady Emily inย Dishonored,ย so it’s conceivable that she might join the king of asymmetric horror. Moretz’s performances and personality differ massively from Nicolas Cage’s, so her inclusion would be a nice change of pace.

Giancarlo Esposito

To many fans, Giancarlo Esposito will always be Gustavo Fring. Theย legendaryย Breaking Badย villainย remains cemented in popular consciousness as a calculating criminal. After all, he possesses an icy demeanor and calculating intellect that would chill any spine. Bringing Gus Fring to the fog wouldn’t make much sense and would be a licensing nightmare. Esposito is another matter. Furthermore, his portrayal of Moff Gideon inย The Mandalorianย showcased a laser-focused energy that would be perfect for the game. Considering some of the more lighthearted and playful characters on the roster, seeing Esposito’s sharp demeanor and sharper suits would be welcome chaos. Who wants to face off against Esposito and Nicolas Cage on the same team in Dead by Daylight?
