‘Captain America’ star hunks it up in Chinese Call of Duty: Online trailer

Activision is working with megacorporation Tencent to bring Call of Duty to gamers in China, and now the two companies have enlisted the help of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars to promote the shooter.

Chris Evans, star of Marvel’s Captain America and Avengers movies, takes the leading role in a new advertisement for Call of Duty: Online, which is the China-only free-to-play version of the publisher’s long-running military-action franchise. One of Tencent’s other online shooters in China has already made billions of dollars, and Activision is hoping Call of Duty will do the same. The live-action trailer features four regular people who leave work and immediately jump into the world of Call of Duty: Online. When they run into a situation they cannot handle, that’s when Evans steps in to take care of the enemies. It’s basically the plot of Dances with Wolves.
