Who are the stars?
Is that really Hemsworth? I thought it was just a good impersonator.
I found an article that explains who everyone is (except, hilariously, for Dolph Lungren) https://chipandco.com/hollywood-stars-face-off-against-social-media-influencers-in-launch-trailer-for-squad-busters-566523/
Word of warning that page is terrible with an ad blocker. I wouldn’t approach it without one
Thanks…you weren’t wrong about the page. It’s basically an add for the game with adds all the way down!
From the article:
Chris Hemsworth, Christina Ricci, Ken Jeong, Will Arnett, And Auli’i Cravalho Squad Up in Launch Trailer for Squad Busters
The Hollywood gang, while quipping about Ricci’s skeleton-summoning staff, encounter another player’s squad whose characters are played by Internet sensations including TikTok superstar [Bella Poarch]as Witch, real-life woodcutter [Thoren Bradley] as Greg, lip-syncing legend [Gabriela Moura]as Shelly and YouTube extraordinaire [ZHC] as Chicken.
In a knowing wink to the viewer, Seth Phillips, better known as [Dude With Sign] makes a brief cameo during the battle to ‘appeal to a younger audience’
“And to appeal to old cunts who saw Masters Of The Universe when it came out in Cinemas, Dolph Lungren …”
Btw it’s me that’s the old cunt, saw it with some mates for someone’s birthday. Was very underwhelmed
Don’t forget Expendables 4…he is sober now as the sniper but is half blind due to his age and can’t hit the side of a barn door from 20 m away.
You have to go back to the early days to discover the true genius of Dolph like Maximum Potential he has a Maters in Science yet he sounds like a boxer who left high school at 16 and had been in the ring for 10 years.
And now I’m gonna go watch Universal Soldier again
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Slip a bit of Thunder Gun in there as well.
Apart from Hemsworth, I recognize Gob from Arrested Development, and the dentist-turned-actor who played the Spanish teacher in Community (and bad guy in Hangover).
