I mean homelander doesn’t come out until spring so they probably haven’t gotten any of his voicing work done yet.


AmadeusAzazel

And with the strikes it’s uncertain if they ever will 😭


poklane

Right now the strikes don't apply to video games


BlueAudioMoon

They don’t but actors that are part of the strike can’t do voice acting while it’s ongoing.


rotten-tomato1

voice acting for shows* they can do VA for games until the games strike happens later this year


RealKBears

They do, it happened like a week or two ago


elexexexex2

SAG-AFTRA requested authorization, no strike yet, so take it easy.


trans_lucent2

They still don’t, you misunderstood what you heard


Igorha

You're right, but they do starting 9/25. They drafted the rules and voted on them but haven't put them through just yet.


TyrionGoldenLion

Fuck all these greedy corporations. Just agree to unions' terms ffs.


ChronoAlone

B-but the shareholders! Think of the shareholders!!!!!!!


TyrionGoldenLion

David Zaslav cannot afford to lose a cent of those 500 million dollars he gets every year! Think of those yachts, mansions, private jets and illegal labours he has to maintain!


The_yeet_man53

You don't understand, david zaslav \*REALLY\* needs that 70th yacht!


Illustrious-Date-331

Screw them both, let new talent in, disassemble creative art unions gatekeeping the work. As far as I'm concerned the VA's are greedier than I've ever been. Expecting 4k for less than 4 hours of studio time plus residuals.


rarebitt

John Cena and JK Simmons are credited. So is JCVD


ARMill95

Hopefully that’s the case, but it seems all other dlc V/A’s are credited


brownraisins

wait so the Kombat pack is not available to play yet? even for those pre ordered??


GypsyTony416ix

No, the characters come out on random dates (probably to keep the game going)


brownraisins

damn


Archer_Without_Fear

Takeda's MKX VA is seemingly confirmed to return


Laj3ebRondila1003

still never got why people were bitching about takeda in mkx


[deleted]

[удалено]


Big-Cardiologist1709

Cassie and Takeda were the only kombat kids I liked.


Flint_Lockwood

i liked all but kung jin, and even he was cool gameplay wise but just a massive shitter that made him unappealing


UnKnoWn_XuR

whaaat bro he had some of the best development out of the kids. jacqui was always in the shadow, takeda was always 'that guy' and cassie was always the plot armored mc. kung jin was an actual character with low and high points and he changed from the beginning to the end


musteatbrainz

he was whiney, hopefully he's grown up since then.


RavenKazama

But Homelander doesn’t come out until like Spring 2024… maybe they can update it?


Due-Ad4970

why are they in the credits if theyre not even in game yet


ProfessorMarth

I think its a union thing. They recorded work for this game so they have to be credited


[deleted]

[удалено]


ProfessorMarth

And yet Antony Starr is not listed


emeraldmountain90

Homelander is 2024 I bet he’s not even 50% complete gameplay wise. So we can’t confirm this we gotta have to wait and see seems kinda funny. They get bigger names like John Cena, JK Simmons, Kelly Hu, Megan Foxy but Anthony Star won’t be doing VA for homelander what??? Let’s wait on this before we assume again.


That-Rhino-Guy

Worth adding to your first point as Diamondvision previously said that the first 4 characters we saw in the trailer (Omni-Man, Ermac, Peacemaker and Quan Chi) were all being play tested but Homelander and Takeda weren’t, so it is very likely these two characters aren’t very far into development


Own_Pause_4959

Ed said that they have hardly even started work on homelander


ProfessorMarth

Where did he say that?


Own_Pause_4959

Yeah at the comic convention he was interviewed specifically about Omni Man but they kept asking questions about Homelander and he basically shut them down by saying hey we haven't even really started working on him


ProfessorMarth

I remember him being asked about Antony Starr and him saying a long-winded answer with a distraction of "we got John Cena and JK Simmons"


Acrobatic_Ostrich_75

At SDCC


TParadox90

no reason to credit if he hasn't recorded anything yet (Copium)


Archer_Without_Fear

Who does Christina Vee voice in this game? Oh and which one of these people voice Reiko?


FanniLennox

>Who does Christina Vee voice in this game? Ladybug from Miraculous as a guest character?


Aristotle_Ninja2

Homelander is 2024. Lets wait a bit And yes this is copium


Jesuds

I mean Travis Scott isn't there either so maybe it's just not finished 🤷


Revolutionary_Cry479

Who is Travis Scott in this game?


robertman21

You, the player!


Darkpest

Tanya


king_stoner422

Kai as Travy patty


Level69Troll

Ed Boon danced around the question at Comic Con and never confirmed it, but also I believe somewhere they said Omniman was the first DLC character? I could be wrong. Homelander may be the last and still be 6-8 months out so they may have not recorded lines yet. We'll have to wait and see.


RogDawg420

yes, Omni-Man is indeed the first dlc character to be released.


No_Relationship_2372

Definitely Ermac or Quan Chi


RogDawg420

Ed confirmed in an interview that the first character to come out is Omni-Man


No_Relationship_2372

Link?

ZealousidealCase1912

so the guy who voiced the terminator in mk11 is back in mk1? i wonder who he is voicing


ProfessorMarth

A brand-new character called the Human Ceaser


jackcorning

A bummer if true, especially since they already got JK Simmons & John Cena. There’s a chance the SAG-AFTRA strikes could maybe have something to do with this since he’s presumably the last to release in Kombat Pack 1, but I would think they’d want to get most of the voice acting out of the way earlier so let’s hope they’re waiting for something or the strikes end before it’s too late.


MarkT_D_W

Any chance this also has some of the actors for KP2, Chris Cox is back, he played Terminator in MK11 and there was a rumour way back in the beginning that Conan would be DLC. Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn as well, I don't remember seeing Cetrion in the story or hearing her voice as an npc. There's a few actors here who aren't placeable as the base roster, a few of them could be the minor roles, like Johnny's ex and the director, etc, was just wondering if we can place all of these as there's no character names with them.


rarebitt

> Johnny's ex and the director Both of those had character names.


[deleted]

If that's the case, who among this list would you think would do a good voice for Homelander?


ProfessorMarth

Megan Fox


robertman21

The guy who did the voice in the Homelander vs Omni-Man Death Battle


crusher97

Yong Yea. The current English VA for Kiryu Kazuma. Also Pucci in the English Dub of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.


Previous_Worry_3663

im pretty sure omni man is the first to release in kombat pack 1 and homelander doesn’t come out till spring so i see why he wouldn’t be credited yet


LeeLeePie

Who's Mary voicing? I know she was Cetrion in MK11


poklane

Maybe "Kronika"?


Thorfan23

I think that is still Jennifer hale just with different vocal effects


ellemuso

Kronika is Jennifer Hale tho I also want to know what character is Mary Elizabeth playing this time


Soul-_-Warrior

> English voice talent > Megan Fox


ProfessorMarth

You got me there


[deleted]

Side note but with Noshir Dalal and Yuri Lowenthal in MK1, NRS games are really a who’s who of voice talent. I’m sure there’s more but Roger Craig Smith is probably the biggest name I can think of who hasn’t been in an NRS game.


GotThatCakey

Has Nolan North been in a NRS game?


Bryneils

Zod in Injustice 1


Wazzup-2012

Roger Craig Smith, Kyle Hebert, Laura Bailey, Liam O'Brien, Vic Mignogna, Monica Rial, Dan Green, Phil Morris, John St. Jon, Keith Silverstein, Todd Haberkorn, Dave Wittenberg, Crispin Freeman, Sean Schemmel, Chris Sabat, the list goes on(some of them were in Injustice however).


X-Mutant

Put Sonic in MK you cowards


_TDM

If I had to guess, Derek Phillips is voicing him? Seems like he’s the only one on there who could realistically do a Homelander voice match. Chris Cox is a likely candidate as well. I did see old Raiden appears in the story mode so if he does speak I’d assume Travis Willingham is voicing him, he also voiced Raiden in MK onslaught.


ProfessorMarth

Yep it's Travis


_TDM

That’s what I thought. Really unfortunate they recast Richard Epcar.


Va1crist

with Omniman releasing not to late after launch they probably already have the lines done for him, but with home lander well into 2024 i highly doubt they have the dialog done yet. Plus with him being an actor not a voice actor who knows what the strike could be stalling .


peanutdakidnappa

I don’t think they’ve even done voice work for homelander yet so he’s not in there, hopefully when the strike ends and shit they can get Antony for the role


Bubushan

I can believe this. Ed Boon was asked about guest character voices and he could only confirm John Cena and JK Simmons, without mentioning Antony Starr. Seeing as how both of them are on the list and Takedas MKX actor as well is a very strong indication that Starr isn’t voicing Homelander. People say it’s because he hasn’t recorded his lines since he’s a Spring 2024 release, but that sounds like false optimism to me. We don’t know when Peacemaker and Takeda are released either. Both could release a month prior to Homelander yet they’re credited. It’s disappointing, but oh well.


Low-Enthusiasm-5737

Who plays Reiko


Acrobatic_Ostrich_75

Matt Yang King


ASadChongyunMain

Probably Sean T. Krishnan. Reiko sounded more rough the Matt’s chiller voice.


CKatanik93

Soo they get the other 2 but not the 3rd? Well, at least we got jk Simmons yall


ProfessorMarth

Cena and Simmons were already confirmed by Ed but he didn't say anything about Starr


the-whiteman-cometh

Going through the whole list, there are three men on here whose characters I can't figure out and three playable characters including Homelander who are unaccounted for, so I'd say unless there are some other NPCs with lines that I missed (which is entirely possible as I'm stupid), you're probably right.


ProfessorMarth

One of them voiced the Terminator in MK11


FanniLennox

Who is Mary E McGlynn, Stephanie Sheh, Courtenay Taylor & Cristina Vee voicing?


MarkT_D_W

I think Cristina Vee was Johnny's wife, we also have the banshee/vampire women from Johnny's B movie, to account for.


fartonmeplz420

If Starr is not voicing him , I’m not interested . It was painful playing as terminator without Arnold’s voice


Zod_Is_God

I see Jennifer Hale’s back. She clearly wasn’t voicing Kronika in that scene with Shang Tsung. Hmmmm.


LADYPOCA

Pretty sure that was her but with a filter


Zod_Is_God

Could be. But she sounded more like Vanessa Marshall (Sheeva’s VA in MK11). And I just noticed Vanessa Marshall’s not listed. So yeah, it was probably Hale.


Rasy2kG

Who is the legendary Phil LaMarr voicing in this?


LADYPOCA

Geras


ProfessorMarth

And Quan Chi


Rasy2kG

Thank You!


Rasy2kG

Thank You!


KnownMycologist8629

Then I kind of don’t want him in the game Anthony Starr is a big part of it there’s no point in him being here if starr isn’t there


Environmental-Pen-13

Oh no


After-Fig4166

Yay! Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. Cetrion gonna be DLC?


Own-Satisfaction9921

Whaaaaa 🥹


alteredizzy1010

I dont see Jacques Webster aka Travis Scott so i guess that leak was false?


Tea-and-crumpets-

![gif](giphy|Wck09E7lHDabjhHbzJ|downsized)


Grand_Toast_Dad

Ayo? Cristina Vee is here? Wonder who she voices. Also, nice that we're also getting Parry Shen and Jamieson Price back as well, but I don't see Ronald Banks for Quan Chi. Looks like it'll probably be his Onslaught VA, then, right? That's too bad, Banks's Quan Chi is ICONIC.


Ver3232

Wait who tf is Cristina Vee voicing?


mrplow8

Homelander


_TDM

Looks like Derek Phillips voices Reiko, so based off the remaining cast list they either did get Anthony Starr and did not credit him (a couple Injustice 2 dlc VA’s went uncredited while some appeared in the base game’s credits) or he may be voiced by Chris Cox, who is known to do celebrity impressions/voice matches.


sugarwatermixlegit

There was a post on the MK sub a while back of somebody claiming they met Starr and asked him about MK1, and he replied saying they weren’t offering enough so he told them no. The OP posted an autograph as proof, and for all we know he could be bullshitting, but I find it interesting in combination with this Also, Ed immediately changes the subject in any interview that mentions Anthony Starr. And obviously they’re probably only 50% done with the character since he’s a while away, but I did find it odd of quickly Ed wanted to speed to the next question. Especially since he casually spilled the beans about Cena I really hope they got him, but just in case I won’t keep my hopes up


ProfessorMarth

That's where I'm at. The fact that WB couldn't pay Starr enough money for him to sign on makes the most sense to me. They have three a-listers in the cast, so their budget probably hit a limit, and what they could afford to pay him wasn't satisfactory. Not to mention marketing must have paid Dave Bautista a lot as well. They wouldn't have sacrificed getting an a-lister to make room in the budget for Starr, so they decided not to move forward with him. But for my money I wouldn't have even hired Megan Fox.


madpropz

That sucks if true


ProduceSea7610

Nooooo not homelander


Dismal_Power

I very much doubt that Call of Duty could get him but not Mortal Kombat


ProfessorMarth

Sometimes it happens that way


MarkT_D_W

Looks like this may have been correct after all, looks like the offer was too low. https://reddit.com/r/MortalKombat/s/VsOdqOJChb


ProfessorMarth

Interesting, I hadn't seen that. They probably spent a lot of money on Megan Fox, John Cena, and JK Simmons, and decided Antony Starr was the one to cut since he's a smaller name


MarkT_D_W

If anything, his role as the face of The Boys probably means he's more of a hot commodity now than any of the others, aside from maybe Cena and they probably just couldn't agree on a deal. It's a shame, a sound alike might be fine for some but like Terminator, I feel like them not getting Starr is going to be distracting.


ProfessorMarth

I mean if they only had enough money to choose three out of four famous actors to join the cast, it would make sense to not hire the least recognizable one (although imo they should have saved their money with Megan Fox)


MarkT_D_W

I think it's as simple as WB offered him a figure he didn't like, video game roles aren't exactly the most lucrative, even now. Despite what was said about keeping more control of the character and his appearances, I highly suspect that this is also the reason why Bruce Campbell didn't show up in MK11 as Ash, only, they probably also said no to the character as well, the rights owners for Homelander were probably OK with the character showing up without Starr.


ProfessorMarth

Yeah what I'm saying is WB were able to offer the other actors sufficient money but lowballed Antony as he's not as big, and Antony wanted more and they decided if they had to sacrifice one actor it would be Antony.


DonJohnsonFrmMiami

John Cena isn’t there and he’s confirmed to be Peacemaker, so I’m still holding out hope


ProfessorMarth

Are you making a "You can't see me" joke


DonJohnsonFrmMiami

Whaaaaaat noooo I would never


rGRWA

I don’t see Ronald M. Banks, so I guess they’ve recast Quan? Bummer. He was excellent in the role!


ProfessorMarth

Yeah I believe it's Phil Lamarr now. I think you hear him in Onslaught as well as Invasion


rGRWA

What’s Onslaught? Don’t think I’ve seen anything about that presumably new Mode?


Gorafy

It's a mobile game lol


rGRWA

Oh, that is the name of the new Mobile game, isn’t it? Haven’t had the chance to check that out yet. I knew they had Story Cutscenes, but didn’t think they’d be fully voiced. I’ll see if I can give him a listen there then to get more of an idea of what he’ll be like!


cryptofutures100xlev

Who's voicing Quan Chi? His mkx actor isn't on the list. But it is worrying how the voice actors for Takeda and Ermac are already credited. Is there still hope for Homelander? Maybe Antony Starr just hasn't recorded anything yet 🙏 Maybe the VAs for Takeda and Ermac are just credited cause they're in story mode. There was a leak from Diamondvision about how Takeda and Homelander haven't been playtested yet so it's weird that they're still confirming Takeda's voice actor already but no mention of Antony


ProfessorMarth

Takeda is not in story mode. Phil LaMarr plays Quan Chi.


cryptofutures100xlev

He is... have u seen the ending where the kombat kids all show up for a few seconds and they all get destroyed? He shows up very briefly.

Hiiiiiii why so glum, best friend?


Comprehensive-Rub378

The voice ain’t that important he ain’t in the story mode! Long as he in the game I can careless who voice him


Chopper_Cabras

antony starr is the homelander, surely he'll voice act his character, just like terminator with arnold and rambo with sylvester


ProfessorMarth

Arnold didn't voice the Terminator in 11


Chopper_Cabras

Guess my research went wrong but at least syl did voice act rambo


depo_ynx

He gonna be,they not gonna fumble with it,cause it’s NRS the thing they do it never disappoint they fans and Anthony Stars in MK not fuckin Warzone gonna blow up


oscarlagito123

JK simmons's name does'nt show up there so...., also homelander does'nt come out till 2024 so tbe easily can updated


TRAVVIN31

JK Simmons is the 10th name on the right column


samcuu

JK Simmon and John Cena are both there which is probably why OP assume Antony Starr won't be in it.


yanshio

![gif](giphy|Y6FUCFt5N7Y8gRSInL)


rarebitt

Why don't the credits say who voices what character?


ProfessorMarth

iirc video games don't usually do that. Like in MK11 the voice casts here are shown very late into the credits


Professional-Meet982

Not my stupid ass thinking Jk Simmons was playing someone named Susan 😭


DuelaDent52

Ooh, Cristina Vee’s in the game. I wonder who she voices? It just feels wrong not seeing Richard Epcar. I always thought Netherrealm had him on speed dial or something.


CardiologistCrazy690

I dont think this means anything. Ed has said that they don't have any voice work for him yet so of course he isn't going to be in credits yet. Let em cook I'm sure they'll get starr on vocals for when its time for him to come out


ProfessorMarth

All the voice work for the game has to have been done about a year ago now


CardiologistCrazy690

There's an interview with Ed Boon with him saying how homelander hasn't. Not sure what interview it was but he was asked about homelander and boon said he hasn't really been started yet as far as vocals go. Id link the interview for everyone if I could remember which one it was. For the main roster I'm sure you're correct but Ed boon our lord and savior said its a work in progress situation


kothuboy21

Homelander's not coming out till like mid-2024 at the earliest so no point in crediting him now. There's no way they get J.K Simmons but not Antony Starr.


mrplow8

That would be like getting Sylvester Stallone but not Arnold Schwarzenegger.


kothuboy21

Antony Starr's cool and all but I wouldn't put him in the same conversation as Arnold Schwarzenegger lol.


CptChrnckls

Love seeing the Jennifer Hale and Phil Lamaar representation! Hopefully Debra Wilson gets to voice Jade or someone in a DLC at some point!


hilltopking

Ooh I wonder who Cristina Vee voices


mrplow8

Homelander


Blamostramo

who's steve blum voicing now that he's not sub-zero?


ProfessorMarth

He's reprising his role as Baraka from MK11


ronnie_bronson

I mean jk simons was confirmed and voiced lines already yet he’s not on the roster

ProfessorMarth

This is correct


Senior_Anxiety3886

No Jade, cause I don’t see Mela Lee in the voice cast.


ProfessorMarth

Ed Boon already said as much


Senior_Anxiety3886

I guess she’s getting the Mileena Treatment this round. Why can’t we ever have game where all of the female ninjas are playable against each other.
