Gaming company Supercell cast celebrities and influencers as iconic characters from some of the biggest mobile games in history for the launch of its much-anticipated new game Squad Busters.

In its biggest marketing campaign to date, created by agency Uncommon Creative Studio, Supercell’s star-studded ad shows the benefits of “squadding up.” The comedic five-minute film imagines Squad Busters characters as a tight-knit friend group who does everything (yes, everything) together.

Directed by Jody Hill, the cast includes Chris Hemsworth and Dolph Lundgren as gruff barbarians, Ken Jeong as a chicken, Christina Ricci as a very intense witch, Auli’i Cravalho as the shotgun-wielding Shelly and Will Arnett as the lumberjack Greg.
