While I am excited to see JK Simmons taking a role in a video game that is outside of his comfort (except for Spiderman), it seems like he is not very convincing to the audience of what he is from watching the JK Simmons trailer. For most movies, JK Simmons plays as he is really good at a certain antagonist. The one that is very controlling, manipulative through gaslighting people, aggressive, overly confident, and easily hated (and memeable). This villain on the other hand is the complete opposite. The villain is trying to be manipulative through the use of ethos (aka using emotions), he is calmer, sounds like an audiobook you listen to when going to sleep, and has a monotone voice. Here it is clear this is outside of his comfort level as an actor which makes it unbelievable.
