Dead By Daylighthas become the most prolific multiplayer horror game of all time, bringing in rosters of Killers and Survivors from popular horror franchises such asResident Evil,Halloween, andSilent Hillalongside their original characters with no signs of stopping yet. What could Behavior do to innovate their game further, other than to add actual celebrities?

Nicolas Cage is a paragraph release, meaning there is no accompanying Killer to his DLC, featuring just the man as himself. While this is not Nick Cage’s first time starring in a role as himself, it is his first time being in a game like this, and if his inclusion is a success, it’s not a stretch to think more famed celebrities could be added in the future.
7Jack Black
Jack Black is a zany personality oozing humor and charm, often taking on roles he finds to be more fun and in tune with his personality rather than grabbing a generous paycheck. While starring in movies such asSchool of RockandSuper Mario Bros, he was also part of the bandTenacious D,earning him acclaim in the music industry.
With his larger-than-life personality, Jack Black would no doubt be a smashing success if added. There isthe potential for more fun perksalong the lines of Nicolas Cage’s, perhaps allowing him to call on his magnetism to draw the Killer away from fellow survivors.
6Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves has always been an actor in the public’s eye, from the conspiracies regarding the reasons behind his lack of aging to his prolific acting career that sees him in many roles with some variation of the name John, which would allow for a plentiful supply of alternative cosmetics. And with a role previously inCyberpunk 2077, it wouldn’t be his firstappearance in a game.

Although Keanu is most noted for his role asJohn Wickin the titular movies, he is also known to be one of the most down-to-earth celebrities, often seen riding public transport and offering his seat to elderly passengers or pregnant women. This has given him popularity as a person and not just as a celebrity, which makes him the perfect choice as a DLC character.
5Jamie Lee Curtis
Known asone of the scream queens, Jamie Lee Curtis immortalized the character Laurie Strode into the minds of horror fans, which was her debut film role, which catapulted her into fame. Although she has also starred in comedy films, she has done her fair share of work in horror as well, which makes her a must forDead by Daylight.
Although Laurie was released alongside Michael for theHalloweenChapter, Behavior designed their own unique look for Laurie rather than basing her appearance off Jamie Lee Curtis, which still leaves room for the Scream Queen herself to appear alongside Laurie and Michael in the fog.
4Vin Diesel
The mean and muscled family man has made it no secret that he is actually a nerd with a love forCall of DutyandDungeons and Dragons, actually playing in a game run by legendary Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer. As such, it’s not a stretch to think that one day he might be immortalized in a video game himself.
Most will know him for his role as Dominic Toretto in the long-enduringFast and Furiousfranchise, though he has branched out into other projects likeGuardians of the GalaxyandRiddick.A game likeDead by Daylightcould benefit from his gruff but confident demeanor, with perks that reflect his family spirit.
3Richard Brake
Those familiar with Rob Zombie’s foray into the world of horror movies will be familiar with Richard Brake, who often stars asa terrifying and deranged serial killerin his movies, such as Doom-Head in31,though he has also had roles in major movies such asBatman BeginsandKingsman: The Secret Service.

Brake often delivers acting excellence in horror villain roles, and his naturally unnerving looks serve him in this manner. As such, Richard could even be a good contender to be added to the roster of Killers, making use of his acting background for in-game lore as to how the actor got twisted into becoming a Killer when the Entity dragged him into the fog, making him embody these roles he has played.
2Simon Pegg
If BVHR wished to injectmore of the humorous funNicolas Cage is sure to bring, they need not look further than Simon Pegg. This English actor and comedian is known for his various roles in comedy movies alongside Nick Frost such asHot Fuzz,The World’s End, andShaun of the Dead, his first brush with any elements of horror.
Simon Pegg’s role in the latter zombie movie might just give him enough experience with creatures that he would be ready to face off against the dangers that lay in the fog, even though the game so far lacks a zombie Killer outside of Nemesis. It’s easy to imagine him making funny quips as he dodges and dukes a Killer.
1Mia Goth
A few years ago, Mia Goth’s name would now be recognized by many people, as she appeared only in supporting roles in movies such asA Cure for Wellnessor the 2018Suspiriaremake. But now it is a different story, with Mia becoming a star in theXtrilogy.
Mia Goth is becoming one of the new Scream Queens, showcasing her acting talents as both a Killer and a Final girl in the moviesPearlandX, the latter of which had her playingboth the murderous old woman and the feisty survivor. As such, Mia would be a great addition as either a Survivor or Killer, with legendary skins for either Pearl or Maxxxine.
Dead by Daylightis currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and Mobile.
