Voice actors play a huge role in adding personality to all these animated roles, especially in the case of these superheroes, who have had plenty of depictions over the years. Now that the game has properly launched and all the characters revealed, this article will guide you through each one and their respective voice actor.

Updated on December 13, 2024, by Jon Eakin: Marvel Rivals has now launched and given us its full roster of playable characters. This article has been updated to include all of them and swap out all rumoured information with confirmed facts so that each incredible voice actor can get their due respect.

Captain America

Brian Bloom

Captain America is one of the headline characters of the Marvel roster, so it’s important to get a voice actor who can carry the role. Enter Brian Bloom, reprising the role that he has played many times before.

Brian Bloom is a prolific superhero voice actor. He’s voiced DC’s Adam Strange on numerous occasions as well as Marvel’s own Daredevil.

Venom & Wolverine

Steve Blum

Steve Blum has a distinctive gravelly voice which makes him perfect for playing both Venom and Wolverine. He’s one of very few voice actors to voice more than one character in the game, a sign of his talent.

Wolverine is the role you’re most likely to already know Steve Blum for, as he’s been voicing the clawed Canadian for years. Outside of that, you might recognize him as Starscream from Transformers Prime, or Spike from Cowboy Bebop.

Black Widow

Laura Bailey

Laura Bailey returns to voice Black Widow, previously having played the soviet spy in many previous Marvel projects. She’s also the voice of Mary Jane Watson in the Insomniac Spider-Man games.

Laura Bailey is a prolific actress, known for multiple roles like Abby from The Last of Us Part 2, or Jaina Proudmore from World of Warcraft. Her biggest role, though, is probably as one of the key players of Critical Role, Dungeons & Dragons phenomenon.

Iron Fist

Stephen Fu

The Iron Fist of Marvel Rivals isn’t the Danny Rand version most people are familiar with, but instead Lin Lie. As a more culturally appropriate character to don the Iron Fist identity, it makes sense that Marvel Rivals brought in Stephen Fu to voice him.

You’re most likely to have heard Stephen Fu before as one of the English dub artists for Squid Game, specifically as Sang-Woo. You might also know him from Death Battle, voicing both Dante and Terry McGinnis.

Moon Knight

Erik Braa

Moon Knight has been growing in popularity in recent years, so it’s nice to hear him voiced as well as he is in Marvel Rivals. Erik Braa is the man to thank for this excellent performance.

You might have heard Erik Braa before as Jax in League of Legends, but his voicework isn’t the only thing worth looking him up for. He has a beard Thor himself would be jealous of, who he has also voiced before even if it wasn’t for Marvel.

Psylocke

Alpha Takahashi

The mutant psychic Psylocke brings plenty of visual flair when she’s on screen, and her voice actress Alpha Takahasi brings flair to her voice lines to match. She brings a lot of character to this somewhat lesser known Marvel hero.

Alpha Takahashi’s better known roles to date have been Hanako Arasaka from Cyberpunk 2077, as well as Ayumi Komiko from Starfield.

Squirrel Girl

Milana Vayntrub

Squirrel Girl is something of a favourite among comic book fans, known for her unlikely victories over the likes of Doctor Doom, Thanos and even Galactus. Milana Vayntrub returns to bring life to this bushy tailed heroine.

Milana Vayntrub has voiced Squirrel Girl several times before, and is also known for live-action roles like Sloane Sandburg in This Is Us.

Winter Soldier

Eliah Mountjoy

Bucky Barnes, The Winter Soldier, is a character that needs to have the right voice to help you believe the difficult life he’s had. Eliah Mountjoy does that and more in the role, an example of perfect casting.

You’re most likely to know his voice from Cybperunk 2077: Phantom Liberty where he voices Kurt Hansen, but he has had roles in games like V Rising and Octopath Traveller 2 as well.

Cloak & Dagger

Hakeem Kameechi Ysaguirre & Xanthe Huynh

Cloak & Dagger are currently the only duo character in the game, but they are often literally inseparable in the comics, so it feels like a smart decision on the part of Marvel Rivals to keep them linked. Also linked as a result are their voice actors, Hakeem Kameechi Ysaguirre and Xanthe Huynh respectively.

Hakeem Kameechi Ysaguirre is a relative newcomer to the voice acting scene, so Marvel Rivals is his biggest role thus far. Xanthe Huynh, on the other hand, is well established, with roles like Haru Okumura in Persona 5 and Haruka Sawamura in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Jeff The Land Shark

Jon Bailey

Jeff has always been known to Marvel comic fans as the goodest land shark ever, and thanks to Marvel Rivals, the whole internet now knows it too. It isn’t easy voicing a creature like Jeff, but Jon Bailey does an expert job.

It isn’t often a compliment to describe an actor’s work as sounding wet, but in this case, it’s perfect for this aquatic pupper. Jon Bailey has incredible range though, and isn’t limited to creatures. You’ll almost certainly know him as none other than the narrator with the epic voice from Honest Game Trailers.

Spider-Man

Yuri Lowenthal

Yuri Lowenthal is already famous for playing Spider-Man in various video games, such as Insomniac’s Spider-Man (2018) and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. He returns to play this iconic character once again in Marvel Rivals and his hilarious voice lines bring out the personality of Spider-Man that make him so beloved.

Not only is Yuri Lowenthal famous for playing the role of Spider-Man, but he has also had many other popular video game roles, such as Smoke in Mortal Kombat 1 and the default voice in Helldivers 2.

Hulk

Fred Tatasciore

Fred Tatasciore takes on the role of the Hulk once again after having played him in many previous games, such as Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Black Panther

James Mathis III

James Mathis III has also lent his voice to many iconic video games over the years, such as GTA 5, The Last of Us Part 2, and Far Cry 5.

Namor

Daniel Marin

Apart from his voice-acting prowess, Marin is also an accomplished magician, a photographer, and a former professional soccer player.
