Sega, give me a jingle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the Yakuza series is mostly set in Japan, American characters do crop up from time to time, sometimes as slapstick parodies. The last two Yakuza games were also set in the US\u2014specifically Hawaii. They&#8217;re on my to-play list because Yakuza games are a million hours long and I&#8217;m still catching up. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway! I could see him fitting in perfectly. The man&#8217;s a delightful weirdo with the right energy to pull off one of Yakuza&#8217;s eccentrics. He&#8217;s got less experience in dramatic roles, though, and one of the most important elements of the long-running series is its ability to careen between absurd and deadly serious situations. <\/p>\n<p>One minute you&#8217;re hunting down underwear thieves, and the next you&#8217;re in an hour-long cutscene about shady pharmaceutical companies. <\/p>\n<p>Can he pull off pathos, is what I&#8217;m wondering. <\/p>\n<p>Amazon&#8217;s Yakuza TV show was a bit of a dud, though, so Black might end up waiting a while for that call from Sega. I imagine he&#8217;ll still be cropping up in more videogame movies, though. It seems like that&#8217;s his thing these days. Though I do wonder if he regrets playing Claptrap in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/movies-tv\/the-borderlands-movie-is-such-an-irredeemable-mess-it-had-me-longing-for-1993s-super-mario-bros\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Borderlands disaster<\/a>\u2014who wouldn&#8217;t?<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, he&#8217;s probably going to be able to keep getting work as Bowser. I hear that Mario is a big deal. I wouldn&#8217;t know, of course, because as PC Gamer&#8217;s online editor I am contractually obligated to ignore other platforms and definitely not stay up all night playing Pokopia. <\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"0e27f4a5-edef-40ef-b606-6c73f478e634\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/jack-black-would-be-up-for-playing-a-portly-american-if-theres-another-live-action-yakuza-movie-sega-give-me-a-jingle.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"0e27f4a5-edef-40ef-b606-6c73f478e634\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/jack-black-would-be-up-for-playing-a-portly-american-if-theres-another-live-action-yakuza-movie-sega-give-me-a-jingle\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that he&#8217;s got Minecraft and Super Mario Galaxy under his belt, celebrated loud man Jack Black is looking for his next videogame movie gig.
