Legend has stated on their website that he wont be in Mass Effect movie

Good for him. The movie will suck badly anyway.

He's not quite right for the roll anyways. Sounds ironic I know.

he just have to beef/chub up a bit to play the criple joker that's still able to move around and handle fire arms if needed

they stated no casting decisions made yet.

That is....unfortunate. I basically have no interrest to see Mass Effect but casting the original voice actors (given that they resemble their ingame characters like Keith David, Lance Henriksen and Seth) would've motivated me to go and see it.

Q: Will it just be an adaptation of the first game, second game, or a completely new story?
A: It will focus on Commander Shepard’s journey, centering around the story of the original Mass Effect game.

A: The writer is weaving a path through Shepard’s decisions that best supports the narrative of the movie and the motivations of its characters.

Q: Will it be a trilogy?
A: We are really focused on making this a great movie, so we’ll see where it takes us. We have to get the first one right to know whether there will be more.

A: No casting decisions have been made yet.

For now we can still cross our fingers for Seth
