Players who have already completed Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are uncovering a delightful surprise in the credits. The character Ezra Duke, a sergeant in the Galactic Federation, is brought to life by the talented Jason Kelley. This is the same actor who recently gave his voice to the iconic Doom Slayer in DOOM: The Dark Ages, creating a fun crossover for fans of both legendary franchises.
The actor himself has playfully engaged with the community. When a fan suggested a crossover game featuring Samus and the Doom Slayer, Kelley noted the humorous parallel of both protagonists being famously quiet. His response highlighted the shared trait, joking that neither character tends to “say much,” making this voice acting role a unique link between the two universes.
According to official character descriptions, Sergeant Ezra Duke is a battle-hardened veteran with extensive experience against the Space Pirate army. While his stubbornness can cause friction with command, his genuine compassion and reliability make him a crucial asset in the field. Samus will interact with Duke and several other Federation personnel throughout her mission.
This casting news has also sparked curiosity among players about the potential for DOOM: The Dark Ages to eventually launch on the Switch 2. While no official announcement has been made, the precedent set by previous DOOM titles appearing on the Switch suggests a future release remains a hopeful possibility. In other casting updates for the game, the role of Samus Aran is now performed by Erin Yvette, taking over from Jennifer Hale.
