When I saw that the new Battlefield 6 trailer featured several celebrities – Zac Efron, Morgan Wallen, Jimmy Butler and Paddy Pimblett – I thought, “Oh they’re doing a Call Of Duty trailer.” Activision’s franchise has done a bunch of live-action trailers over the years, including the famous Robert Downey Jr. ad for Black Ops 2, which also featured Jack Black and a host of other famous faces. Turns out, this is a humorous jab at Battlefield’s biggest rival. The four celebrity operators get a moment of looking badass as they walk across a bridge with Smashing Pumpkin’s “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” playing in the background. “Showtime,” Efron says. Each gets a closeup. “Sound check,” Wallen drawls. Efron says, “Okay boys, we’re here to do one thing…” It’s hard to see, but up in the lefthand corner behind them you can see a rocket incoming at this point. “And one thing–” The rocket hits the bridge, right in the center of the squad, blasting them to smithereens. We see a boot fly through the smoke and debris.
