The first Mass Effect game was released back in 2007, with the original trilogy of games following Commander Shepard, a space navy solider, whose mission is to save the galaxy from a race of powerful mechanical beings known as the Reapers and their agents, including the first game’s antagonist Saren Arterius. Since release, Mass Effect has been met with massive commercial success as well as universal acclaim, with fans wondering when, if ever, the property would be brought into live-action as either a series or movie.
“Very much so, yeah, all depending on how they’re executing it. The world of adaptation can be heavy or light. When I like a product, I prefer the adaptation to be less changed from the source, so it all depends. I think it’s found a home, hasn’t it? If [the series] finds a home, I would love to have a conversation.”
Cavill is of course no stranger to video game adaptations, with the actor continuing to lead Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher. The second series of The Witcher will pick up with Cavill’s monster hunter, Geralt, as the Continent’s kings, elves, humans, and demons strive for supremacy while delving into Geralt’s mysterious past. The Witcher season 2 is scheduled to be released to Netflix on December 17, 2021.
