Kevin Spacey will star in Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare [VIDEO]

Game-maker Activision scrambled to release the trailer Thursday.

House of Cards fans will recognize the voice narrating the newly released Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare trailer. It sounds an awful lot like the show’s main character, the smooth-talking, oft-prone to monologue, southern-accented, Frank Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey.

Spacey lent both his voice and animated likeness to the much anticipated game, and the trailer features the actor giving an Underwood-esque speech about democracy and power, set to the intense computer-generated imagery of the new game.

“People don’t want freedom,” says Spacey’s character. “They want boundaries, rules, protection—from invaders and from themselves. People need a leader who can give them both the support and the constraints to keep chaos at bay. You give them that and they’ll follow. And that’s where I come in.”

According to PC Mag, Spacey portrays the game’s main antagonist, a power-hungry executive turned against the U.S. government, who apparently has at his command “a group of hoverbike-riding super soldiers.” Based on the global shift toward the use of private military corporations, the game ponders the question of “what happens when the highest bidder becomes the world’s next superpower,” PC Mag reports.

“Ideas don’t determine who’s right,” says Spacey’s villain. “Power determines who’s right, and I have the power, so I am right.”

Game-maker Activision scrambled to release the trailer Thursday, after portions of the audio and a screenshot were leaked online this week, destructoid reports. The company had originally planned for a massive rollout of the trailer Sunday.
