As October 17th is fast approaching, more and more tidbits of information about Alan Wake 2 are released by Remedy. Yesterday the studio revealed the casting of David Harewood (Homeland, Supergirl) as the enigmatic talk show host “Mr. Door”.
The Inclusion of Mr. Door holds a significant tie to the larger universe of Remedy Entertainment’s games. In Control, Dylan Faden mentions he has seen Mr. Door in one of his visions, further solidifying the interconnectedness of these intricate narratives. This crossover element adds an extra layer of excitement for fans, who have been theorizing about Mr. Door for quite a while now. The Remedy Connected Universe evolves further!
“I was in a dark place, and there was a dark man there. His name was Mr. Door, and he told me that there are many worlds – side-by-side, on top of each other, some inside of others. In one world, there was a writer who wrote a story about a cop. In another world, the cop was real. Door said he himself was in all of them at the same time, endlessly shifting between them.” – Dylan Faden as he mentions Mr. Door in Control.
Earlier this year Remedy also announced the casting of Finnish actor Peter Franzén (Vikings) as a character in Alan Wake 2. The game is set to have a strong line up of talent for sure!
