Top Casting Pick: Maisie Williams as Tracer

Overwatch has built a hugely popular franchise with its online shooter, creating engaging characters with a complete lack of story. The first Titanfall had a notoriously tacked on narrative, while the new Call Of Duty has ditched story altogether. Overwatch, though, has always made it work.

We know very little about the characters’ lore and relationships, yet they’re so vibrant. An animated show in the style of early 00s Justice League could add even more depth to the colourful cast.

Maisie Williams gets our pick for face of the franchise, Tracer. If they did go the cartoon route, image wouldn’t matter as much, but the Game Of Thrones star does bear more than a passing resemblance. However, for all that Williams is (literally) killing it as Arya, the Stark-ness of the role means her more cheeky, charming side seen in interviews lacks a place to shine.

Blizzard showed that the secret to making a successful game is to care about it. They could have stitched together some whacky characters and called it a day. Battleborn tried that, and it flopped. There’s real heart behind these characters. A TV show could show that off even more.
