During an interview on the Comedy Means Business podcast (via DomTheBomb on Twitter/X) in December, 2025, Kumail Nanjiani briefly commented on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, teasing that the upcoming Naughty Dog project is “gonna be really, really good.” The actor made the remark while discussing his passion video games, saying that the they have always been a central interest in his life alongside films. “I’m always playing video games,” Nanjiani said. “I’ve played them my entire life. It’s always been like movies and video games have been my passions.”
Nanjiani mentioned that he previously worked on several games, though he admitted voice and performance capture work was not always a perfect fit for him. “I actually acted in a few video games and I realized I was like, ‘Oh, this is not for me.'” However, he then referenced Naughty Dog’s upcoming Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which, according to him, was a “couple [of] years” from release at the time. “I did do another one that’s going to come out in a couple years now, a Naughty Dog one that’s going to be really really good,” he said.
