I doubt that Amy or Nina will replace Doomguy in the 2019 Doom movie.
There's been a lot of discussion lately of the possibility of Tony Giglio's Doom movie reboot, which is coming out next year, being a female-driven movie in the vein of Ghostbusters 2016, and that we're getting Doomgirl instead of Doomguy. Well, I don't believe it at all, and I'm going to explain why.
I have checked out the rest of the confirmed cast, and I have found an actor that I think is playing Doomguy: James Weber Brown, who has been cast as a character named "Captain Hector Savage".
As you can see in the picture, he is so uncannily similar to Doomguy that there is no way that he can't be him. I'm sure you're thinking: "If James is playing Doomguy, then why are Amy and Nina getting all the attention in the media?" Simple. Because they…
ZeniVerse theory timeline
A couple years ago, I posted a theory that the various ZeniMax franchises are linked through most of the other series being set in the Outer Realms. Here's a timeline that updates the theory, and offers as complete a timeline as I can gather. The franchises featured here include: The Elder Scrolls, Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Dishonored, Fallout, Rage, and Commander Keen. Note that this timeline only contains definite dates. And though I consider Heretic/Hexen and Rise of the Triad (original and remake) to be part of the ZeniVerse, there is no clear spot that one could place them...yet! I also consider Prey (2006 and 2017) and The Evil Within to be part of the ZeniVerse, but while they have definitive dates, I can't decide which of the possi…
Theory: Zeniverse timeline
For those unaware, the "Zeniverse" is a hypothetical shared universe that contains the various series owned by ZeniMax Media and the companies they control/contract. This includes Rage, Doom, Wolfenstein, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls (among others). Since for a number of reasons, there's no way that all these series can possibly follow a linear timeline, I'm taking a page out of Nintendo's book by proposing that alternate timelines are involved.
Timeline one: Classic Era (BJ kills Hitler)
Spear of Destiny-->Nocturnal Missions-->Wolfenstein 3D-->Commander Keen-->Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel-->Fallout Tactics-->Doom (1993)-->Doom II: Hell on Earth-->Final Doom-->Doom 64-->Quake
Timeline two: The New Order Era (Nazis win WWII)
Spear of Destiny--…
Doom + The Elder Scrolls= shared universe?
I take it that everyone's aware of the Skyrim easter egg in Doom 4/Doom 2016, right?
Well, I've been thinking for some time of the possibility that the "Hell" seen in the Doom series is a plane (realm) of Oblivion from The Elder Scrolls, that was connected by accident to our dimension, and that the various demons that Doomguy fights are actually Daedra.
There are many realms of Oblivion that have been both seen and unseen throughout the TES games. In the fourth game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, we've seen at least three realms that could easily be mistakable for the traditional fire-and-brimstone portrayal of Hell: the Deadlands of Mehrunes Dagon, Peryite's Pits, and the realm that Boethia/Boethiah sends the player to for his shrine quest.
