Clancy Brown will be voicing Grune the Destroyer, while Robin Atkins-Downes will be voicing Mumm-Ra! Check out some of his voice work here: http://www.robinatkindownes.com/#/voiceover
Looks like we have most of the major characters covered, voice wise. Could Jim Meskiman be one of the mutants…or perhaps Jaga?
Wow. Just looked both of their IMDB profiles up and they’re… impressive, to say the least. The Mumm-Ra voice-actor has twenty one years of experience under his belt and, in 2006 alone, had about a million things going on.
Voice-acting wise, they’re names. Both characters are tough to pull off but I’m hoping they bring something different, voice wise, to the table. This should be a re-imagining and trying to create an entirely different, fresh look to ThunderCats - we know how awesome the original series is so that won’t be affected regardless. But I’m liking this. Lots.
I agree. I watched the new trailer and thought I was watching a Star Wars Clone Wars clip at first. Found a clip for non-Star Wars people. In case you can’t tell by the voices, Dooku is the one sitting, meditating in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkwX_YM5AuY
I’ll take Robin Atkin-Downes (no pun intended) as Mumm-Ra. He’s a very versatile voice actor, and I’m sure I’ve got more than a few video games in my library that feature his talents (particularly the Bioware titles). But the role I remember him for the most was on Babylon 5, where he played the leader of a band of fugitive telepaths named Byron who sought asylum on the station in its 5th and final season. And considering he’s very capable of playing a villain like Baron Zemo on The Avengers, I’d say he has the chops to do Mumm-Ra!
Lex Luthor is voicing Grune the Destroyer??? Totally on board with that.
I have no idea who the guy voicing Mumm-Ra is. Hopefully he’s good because that is obviously a key character to get right. The original voice was beyond perfect (God Bless Earl Hammond) so I’m trying not to set my expectations too high.
According to imdb.com Dee Bradley Baker is voiced as Slythe. He also voiced Appa/Momo in Avatar so maybe he is voicing Snarf in the series, that would be great!
I popped in SSD to just hear his voice again and yes, I think that is a good choice for Grune. As for Mumm-ras, well sadly I dont have anything with him in it but just looking at his credit list that guy does ALOT of voice acting…like..alot. So I’m sure that they are good choices.
