The Boys star Jack Quaid joins God of War Laufey as Phranque, a cosmic cube with a deep narrative role, forming an unlikely trio with Faye and Rue.
Jack Quaid , known for his role as Hughie Campbell in The Boys, has joined the cast of the upcoming PlayStation title God of War Laufey as the voice of Phranque , a sentient cosmic cube.
Sony describes Phranque as a curious cosmic cube with an earnest disposition who will do whatever it takes to protect his friends and the creatures of the Everywhen. Fans immediately recognized Quaid's voice in the game's trailer, and the character's comedic yet sincere personality has generated considerable discussion online. This role adds to a busy period for the actor, whose recent work includes Oppenheimer, Novocaine, and his acclaimed portrayal of Hughie Campbell.
The creative director of God of War Laufey, Cory Barlog, emphasized that Phranque is not merely comic relief but holds significant narrative weight. According to Barlog, the cube has survived every iteration of the game's development, making it one of the most important parts of the story. He noted that stripping away the fanciful design leaves a simple cube imbued with an incredible struggle, earnestness, and real personality.
This reveals that even a seemingly whimsical character can carry deep emotional resonance. In the game, protagonist Faye does not travel alone. She wields a sword first discovered lodged inside Phranque, and pulling it free introduces Rue, an enchanted ribbon guardian voiced by an actress named Lau. Rue is determined to keep the weapon from falling into the wrong hands, and the three characters form an unusual partnership.
Narrative director Matt Lawrence hopes players will connect with this unlikely trio, stating that by the end of the game, everyone will have feelings for some ribbons and a jellied cube. The game is set to be a unique addition to the God of War franchise, combining familiar epic storytelling with new, quirky characters
