Sept. 4 (UPI) — Dexter: Original Sin star Patrick Gibson is voicing the role of British secret agent James Bond in a new video game.
“I am so excited to finally be able to announce that I’m playing James Bond in the upcoming game 007: First Light,” Gibson wrote on Instagram Wednesday, alongside a trailer for the project.
“Working with IO Interactive and Amazon MGM to bring a fresh take on this iconic character’s origin story has been an unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait for you all to play it.”
The game is set for release March 27.
Gibson played young serial killer Dexter Morgan in the 1991-set Dexter prequel, which was initially given a Season 2 renewal before Showtime reversed its decision and canceled it.
