"To celebrate Beast Games 2 dropping next Wednesday [,] me and Kevin Hart gathered 30 celebrities to compete for $1,000,000 for charity! This YouTube video will drop the same day as Beast Games 2," the popular YouTuber wrote, adding that he cannot wait.
MrBeast reiterated this on Instagram, where he tagged the participating celebrity guests as well. These include folks such as Tiffany Haddish, Howie Mandel, Diplo, Ally Brooke, Hasan Minhaj, Nikki Garci, and so much more.
MrBeast wants The Rock for Beast Games Season 3
On the topic of celebrities, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, MrBeast talked about his celebrity wishlist for Season 3. He mentioned Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and asked if the outlet had the professional wrestler's contact information.
"Do you have the Rock's number? I'd love to invite The Rock," MrBeast said around the 7:29 mark. "The Rock. Dwyane. DM me on Instagram, Dwyane."
MrBeast also shared some other thoughts about Season 3, answering a question about how he would outdo himself after Season 2.
"I mean, the truth is I need to just watch 100 people watch the show," he said." I need to watch younger people, older people, I need to watch 20-year-old guys, 20-year-old women, I just need to watch a very diverse group of people from around the world watch Beast Games. If they're there and the TV's there, I want to stare at their faces as they watch the show, and after I do that, I'll have [a] better idea of what to improve."
He continued, pivoting to Season 2's imminent release. "Right now, I'm so on cloud nine about Season 2, I can't think of anything negative. I'm just so freaking excited for it to come out. We poured everything we had into it. For me, the show's perfect. But I'm sure once it comes out and I start watching it more objectively, I'm going to be like, 'Oh, why'd we do that? Why'd we do that?' y'know?"
That's all for now. Beast Games Season 2 begins on Jan. 7. Stick around on esports.gg for more news and updates.
