Bungie has announced that actor Keith David will assume the role of Commander Zavala in Destiny 2, taking the place of Lance Reddick, who died unexpectedly earlier this year.
There was some question about how Bungie would handle the character of Zavala in the wake of Reddick's death: Would it write the character out somehow, or move ahead with a new voice actor? There's precedent for both: The studio has previously recast both Ikora Ray and Cayde-6—the Warlock and Hunter counterparts to Zavala's Titan Vanguard—but it also killed off Cayde-6 in the Destiny 2: Forsaken expansion.
