He's taking over the government again: Kevin Spacey is the villain in the new trailer for Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare

‘Democracy, democracy, democracy is not what these people need, hell it's not even what they want,’ his animated character says over an action montage of soldiers engaging in military warfare in destroyed cities of America.

‘America has been trying to install democracy into nations for centuries and it hasn't worked one time. These countries don't have the basic building blocks to support a democracy.

‘Little things like we ought to be tolerant of those that disagree with us. We ought to be tolerant of those who worship a different god than us; that a journalist ought to be able to disagree with a President.’

He can do ruthless: His turn as power-hungry politician Frank Underwood certainly makes Spacey the perfect candidate to play the leader of a private army, hell bent on overthrowing the US government

He gives good monologue: The Old Vic director delivers a speech on the failing fundamentals of democracy

Spacey’s character is walking around what looks like a control room, with various computer screens and graphics flickering while he delivers his monologue to who, we just don’t know yet.

Reports suggest that he is playing the lead antagonist in the video game, leading a private army to overthrow the US government.

‘And you think you can just barge into these countries based on a fundamentalist, religious principle, drop a few bombs, topple a dictator and start a democracy?’ he continues.

Destruction: The trailer is filled with action scenes taking place and destroyed American soil

‘Huh, gimmie a break. People don't want freedom. They want boundaries and rules. Protection from invaders and from themselves.

‘People need a leader who can give them the support and strength to keep chaos at bay. You give them that and they'll follow. And that's where I am come in.’

Technological warfare: From his control room, Spacey's character gives a speech to his employers on why democracy has failed

Battle will commence: Defending a threat on home soil will be the objective of the new game

The trailer finishes with the tagline ‘Power Changes Everything’, which certainly lends itself well to the narrative of Spacey’s Netflix original series as it follows one congressman’s vengeful mission to take over Capitol Hill and the White House.



An earlier teaser on the video game’s Instagram, released this morning, showed Spacey’s character saying: ‘Power determines who is right. I have the power, so I’m right.’

Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be released on November 4.
