According to the reputable leaker j0nathan, known for accurate leaks regarding Ubisoft projects like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, there’s a possibility that Cillian Murphy could be joining the ranks of Michael Mando from Better Call Saul and Giancarlo Esposito from Breaking Bad as the next big baddie in the upcoming Far Cry 7 game.

In a mysterious tweet, j0nathan shared a series of images featuring Murphy, a crab, dynamite with a 72-hour countdown, and the number “7”. Some users have attempted to decode this message and have concluded that Cillian Murphy might be taking on a significant role in Far Cry 7. Accompanying the images, j0nathan cryptically wrote in French: “If nothing changes by then”.

Speculation about Far Cry 7, codenamed Project Blackbird, began circulating in September 2023, suggesting a “non-linear” storyline centered around the hero’s family kidnapping, which must be resolved within 72 in-game hours, equivalent to 24 hours in real-time. Therefore, the presence of the number “7” and the 72-hour countdown immediately sparked theories linking j0nathan’s hint to the upcoming Far Cry 7 game.

While there’s no clear explanation as to why Oppenheimer and Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy was chosen to play the antagonist, it’s worth noting that he previously portrayed Scarecrow in a Batman film.

When questioned whether Murphy aka Cillian Murphy would star in the game or if the lead villain would be named Murphy, j0nathan simply responded with “It’s heating up,” leaving room for interpretation.
