Let’s be honest here, Marvel Rivals is FUN. You get to play with your favorite Marvel heroes and villains, and it is one of those games that will keep you engaged! But wait, how do they keep raising the bar? The voice acting. Seriously. If you have been playing for a little bit, you’ve probably said to yourself, “I know that voice! Where have I heard it before?” And yeah, you’re right to think that. The actors behind these characters have voiced them in other Marvel stuff, too, games, TV shows, and even movies.
Whether you’re just hopping into the game for fun or you’re a hardcore Marvel fan, the talent behind the mic is seriously what makes this game pop. From Yuri Lowenthal’s Spidey to Steve Blum’s iconic Wolverine, the voice actors in Marvel Rivals give each character so much life that you’ll be wondering if you’re watching a Marvel movie instead of playing a game. Let’s divintoto the actors, where you may have recognized them and why they’re practically perfect for the characters!
The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
The Avengers are the OG group, and Marvel Rivals gives them the love.. But it’s the voice talent behind them that makes everything feel right.
Black Panther – James C. Mathis III
If you’ve ever listened to James C. Mathis III play T’Challa, you’re aware that he provides that regal power to Black Panther, described as a deep, rich-sounding power in a voice that sounds almost like a King of Wakanda. If you watch Marvel’s animated shows, you have heardMathis’s voice as Black Panther before, and he fits it just as well here. It’s like hearing royalty speak.
Black Widow – Laura Bailey
Let’s spend a moment discussing Laura Bailey. She’s very talented. In the past, she’s voiced characters like Supergirl and Mary Jane, but now she has Natasha Romanoff. Laura Bailey gives Black Widow a tough, clever, and snarky badass feel. It’s like she embodies Natasha in all of her depth, and it will be hard to think of anyone else doing a better job.
Captain America – Brian Bloom
Brian Bloom exemplifies heroism in this character. His voice is powerful and commanding, much like Captain America has a compelling, serious voice that seems to say, “I’m the head of the Avengers.” Brian Bloom makes Steve Rogers just like you imagine him to be—sober, determined, with that feeling of “I will never give up” to the heroic kind of character. If you’ve heard him voice Cap in other animated ventures, it’s nothing new—he’s a natural.
Iron Man – Josh Keaton
Josh Keaton is back as Tony Stark, and honestly, he is Tony Stark. The humor, the intellect, the charisma – Keaton continually delivers. If you have heard him in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, then you get what I mean because his Iron Man sounds like he strolled right out of a comic with some funny sarcasm.
Hulk – Fred Tatasciore
Fred Tatasciore is the voice of the Hulk. He is, if you’ve heard the Hulk’s deep, booming gro, or ferocious roars in other games, that is him. He adds such emotional weight to Hulk–he’s not just a big, mad guy, you know? There’s real inner turmoil in there, and Fred makes you feel that every time Hulk speaks.
Spider-Man and His Network of Friends
Spider-Man is much more than just a hero; he is funny, witty, and a pretty big deal in the Marvel Rivals Universe! Let’s see who voices this web-slinger and all of his friends.
Spider-Man – Yuri Lowenthal
If you have played *Marvel’s Spider-Man*, then you already are aware Yuri Lowenthal has made this role fit like a glove; he just gets Peter Parker right, it just feels… right! Lowenthal’s Spidey is the perfect combination of all the humor, heart, and responsibility this character has. You really feel like you are living through Peter’s crazy life as you swing around the city. It’s more than a voice; it’s like Peter is talking and you are listening directly.
Venom – Steve Blum
Steve Blum is a great choice for Venom. His rough, menacing tone encapsulates an overall aura of someone you do not want to confront. However, it is funny as well. Blum’s Venom doesn’t feel only entirely angry but just a little bit charming, and more approachable. You might know Blum as Wolverine, and you know he has some professional experience voicing these larger-than-life heroes.
Peni Parker – Sally Amaki
Peni Parker is among the newer participants in the Spider-Man multiverse, but Sally Amaki does a stunning job. Peni has that youngfull-of-lifefe energy, and Amaki truly captures her passion and determination. She is a perfect fit for the Marvel Rivals cast, and her voice definitely aids in fostering some of that multiverse magic.
The Fantastic Four: Marvel’s First Family
The Fantastic Four are more than heroes—they are a family.. Here, the voice actors play on that family element and showcase that close relationship.
Mister Fantastic – Ian James Corlett
Ian James Corlett is a great choice for Reed Richards. If you’re a fan of Dragon Ball Z, you’ll probably recognize him as the voice of Goku, who instills that same energy into Reed. He’s smart, creative, and, most of all, has the drive that helps Mister Fantastic feel like a soooo relatable person—even if science is not your specialty.
Invisible Woman – Suzie Yeung
Sue Storm. Yeung’s voice delivers on both Sue’s nurturing instincts, infrastructure, and that she happens to be one of the strongest heroes in the Marvel Universe – it’s an exquisite balance of warmth and strength.
Guardians of the Galaxy: A Wild, Fun Crew
Star-Lord – Scott Porter
Scott Porter takes on the role of Star-Lord with the traditional mix of cocky, funny, and a little reckless.. Exactly what you would want for Peter Quill. Porter’s voice has a wonderful balance of humor and heroics, and this is why he’ll be a fan favorite. Materializing out of thin air with
Rocket Raccoon – Nolan North
Nolan North is essentially a gaming legend and brings Rocket Raccoon a ton of sass and sarcasm, and enough personality to fill multiple characters. If you’re familiar with North’s work from Uncharted, you will definitely recognize the quick wit and charm. But, as Rocket? It feels like North was made to be the little raccoon all along.
Groot – Adam Harrington
Although Groot’s speaking ability is limited, Adam Harrington infuses any “I am Groot” with a sense of significance. Harrington puts a great deal of emotion into a simple line, but the appeal is there in his performance. You will experience Groot’s strength and warmth with only three words.
It Is All About the Voice Cast in Marvel Rivals
In the end, the voice acting is what truly brings Marvel Rivals to life, creating the sense that you are joining the Marvel Universe. Every voice has a special element associated with the hero—the nature of the character feels genuine. Regardless of whether you are a casual gamer or a die-hard Marvel fan, you will have the ability to immerse yourself in the player’s cinematic experience with the voice of their heroes and villains.
So definitely, when you hear a voice you recognize, remind, remind, is not the voice of that individual character, but instead a cast of voice actors bringing that character to life; and this, in mymindd is the defining factor of Marvel Rivals versus another game.
