Universal Pictures to reboot "Doom" movie with Zhao Xi Na as the lead

id Software's "Doom Eternal" successfully proved that this veteran FPS game series is still full of charm today, with both good reputation and sales. Seeing this grand occasion, Universal Pictures seems to have once again rekindled its confidence in IP-adapted movies.

To be honest, the 2005 Doom movie was disappointing, and last year's Doom: Extinction was so embarrassing that Bethesda issued a statement to clarify that it had nothing to do with the movie project. This time, Universal Pictures has set its sights on the original game in 1993, hoping to restore the movie's reputation from the root.

According to informants from the WeGotThisCoverd website, Zhao Xina, also known as John Cena, is currently the leading actor candidate of Universal Pictures, and this new movie will have no direct connection with the previous two works and will be a reboot.

After all, games always prioritize gameplay over storytelling, so Universal Pictures must find a balance that can attract general audiences and satisfy fans of the series. Of course, although the informant of WeGotThisCoverd has hit a lot of news before, it is still just a rumor before Universal Pictures officially announces it.
