Mark Hamill Voices The Joker in WB's Upcoming Video Game MULTIVERSUS
WB Games has revealed The Joker as the latest playable character in its platform fighter MultiVersus and Mark Hamill is returning to provide the voice of the Clown Prince of Crime.
I guess Hamill isn’t retiring from The Joker after all! The actor has said in the past that he would no longer be portraying The Joker.
Just a few months ago he said that he “doubts he'll ever take up the Joker mantle again without Conroy there to trade lines with.” But, I guess it’s hard to pass up the opportunity if someone is willing to pay you to do it.
But, I should point out that prior to his passing, Kevin Conroy voiced Batman in the fighting game. So, this might be the reason that Hamill made an exception to his previous statement and returned to the role of Joker in the game.
MultiVersus is a free-to-play platform fighter, in the same vein as Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series. The game features an ever-expanding roster of popular characters based on Warner Bros. Discovery franchises, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Black Adam, and The Joker (DC); Shaggy and Velma (Scooby-Doo); Bugs Bunny, Tasmanian Devil a.k.a. Taz, and Marvin the Martian (Looney Tunes); Arya Stark (Game of Thrones); Tom & Jerry (Tom and Jerry); Finn the Human and Jake the Dog (Adventure Time); Steven Universe and Garnet (Steven Universe); Iron Giant (The Iron Giant), LeBron James (Space Jam: A New Legacy); Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith (Rick and Morty); Gizmo and Stripe (Gremlins); and an extraordinary original creature named Reindog.
