What's next for Michael Phelps after dominating the Olympics? Conquering outer space.
The 23-time Olympic gold medalist stars alongside actor Danny McBride in the new trailer for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, titled "Screw It, Let's Go to Space." The trailer opens with the declaration that 2016 is "one of the worst years in decades," leading one citizen to suggest everyone go to space, which is where Phelps shows up.
Phelps said he was approached about doing the ad shortly after the Olympic Games in Rio, and is a big fan of the video game, according to Entertainment Weekly's Nick Romano.
"I do love the game and I have spent a bunch of hours playing it, especially during training camps and whenever we travel," Phelps said. "So, there's definitely a good, little friendly competition between the teammates and it definitely takes our mind off competing when we’re traveling and it helps us relax a lot."
