It’s Always Sunny’s Rob Mac Will Finally Get To Use His Muscles For Action Instead Of Comedy In A New TV Show That I’m Already Obsessing Over

by

For several years now, fans of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia have noticed star and co-creator Rob McElhenney (now known as Rob Mac) becoming increasingly muscular post-Fat Mac era. However, there haven’t been many opportunities to showcase his physique within the show in an action-oriented manner. It seems that’s about to change, as he is set to join another video game-related series. His previous creation, Mythic Quest, has unfortunately joined the list of TV shows that were canceled in 2025.

It appears Rob Mac may soon collaborate and act in a live-action TV show based on the hit game series “Far Cry”, although the news hasn’t been officially confirmed yet due to Ubisoft, the publisher of the game. Over the weekend, there was an early release of information about the project, but it was later deleted from their site without additional details. Unless this announcement was a clever trick or hoax (which seems doubtful), there’s much anticipation surrounding this potential development, so let’s stay hopeful!

Far Cry Is Being Co-Developed By Rob Mac And Alien: Earth Creator Noah Hawley

As a dedicated fan, I’ve learned that although Ubisoft removed the post from their website, the exciting details about Rob Mac co-creating the Far Cry series with acclaimed TV creator Noah Hawley (known for Fargo and Alien: Earth) were shared on platforms like Reddit. This collaboration promises an A+ experience in the world of Far Cry!

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled about the upcoming project! It seems Hawley might step up as our new showrunner, while Mac could potentially move from behind the scenes to in front of the cameras. However, it remains uncertain what specific role he’ll play or if that’s even been determined at this point.

It’s common for these two talents, whose careers have significantly benefited from FX, to deliver the Far Cry series on the cable network. We’re excited to see what part Mac might play, as he was originally cast in Deadpool and Wolverine but subsequently had his role removed.

The Far Cry TV Show Will Apparently Be Dark And Moody, With Anthologized Storytelling

Instead of Fallout Season 2, Far Cry is rumored to adopt an anthology approach for its seasonal narrative. This means the character played by Rob McElhenney in the first season might not appear in subsequent seasons, though it doesn’t exclude the possibility of his return in future installments. At this stage, it’s too early to make such predictions with certainty.

In every new installment of the Far Cry series, starting from its debut in 2004, the games have consistently transported players to various far-flung, perilous locations around the globe. Each destination introduces unique military groups and criminal networks that need to be combated across challenging landscapes.

According to reports, Margaret Boykin, who heads Ubisoft’s film and TV division, made this statement during the initial announcement.

This partnership is a veritable feast of opportunity. Far Cry delves deep into the human psyche without flinching from the grimiest and most eccentric aspects of our nature, making it an ideal fit for FX’s daring and courageous narrative approach.

Despite my skepticism about this information, it seems like an outstanding approach for Mac to display his talents within the action genre, excepting his questionable appearances in controversial episodes of “Always Sunny” and similar content. Imagine how entertaining or humorous it would be if he portrayed a distinct protagonist in each season!

Since Rob Mac is deeply involved with “Welcome to Wrexham” and its central football club, which has become a multi-million dollar investment for him and Ryan Reynolds, it appears that he will remain quite occupied if, as rumored, there is an official announcement about the “Far Cry” project in the near future.

Wishing that Danny DeVito, along with the rest of the crew, might jump into the Far Cry world in some fashion or another.
