Respawn CEO wants Apex Legends and Chappie crossover to happen RespawnA crossover between the popular movie Chappie and Apex Legends could be in the works with key figures from the two sides both telling fans that they\u2019d approve of it happening. Since it\u2019s release on February 4, the new free-to-play battle royale has swept over the gaming world like a wildfire, picking up over 25 million players in under two weeks. However, unlike it\u2019s biggest competitor \u2013 Fortnite \u2013 the game isn\u2019t really set-up for crossovers as it has it\u2019s own lore and backstory. However, one possible crossover could come in the form of 2015 movie Chappie, whose main character \u2013 a robot named Chappie \u2013 looks strikingly similar to the Pathfinder legend in the new battle royale. Replying to a fan\u2019s tweet about a potential appearance from Chappie in the game, the movie\u2019s director Neill Blomkamp said: \u201cLotta people asking me this. I am down, yes.\u201d Blomkamp\u2019s tweet drew a quick response from Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella, who gave his approval, saying: \u201cI am also down.\u201d Despite being the movie\u2019s director, Blomkamp wouldn\u2019t be the right man to get the wheels turning on a crossover \u2013 Respawn would need Columbia Pictures to sign-off on any deal.
