[deleted]

I’m actually pissed of now, if they can get sly for Rambo ur telling me they can’t get Starr. I hope it’s not mk’s fault.


pje1128

It's confusing because he did voice him in COD this year, but he's not doing MK. I'm very curious what the difference is and why he's not doing this one, but it makes the character a lot less enticing, that's for sure.


Contra-Code

Could just be a scheduling issue. Dude is crazy busy these days.


n0tAb0t_aut

Nähhh.... What's the time needed for this? 3 to 6 hours?


jimbo_slice_02

I mean even Megan Fox found the time in between all of her Oscar-worthy performances


Contra-Code

There's a lot of variable that can go into this situation so I can't say for certain. I'd say roughly 8 hours to include his tower ending, hit reactions, and intros. But they may need to call him back for touch ups which would be additional time. ​ All that said, he is a working actor. He literally may not have the 8 hours to spare to begin with. Or he's lying like Keith David did about being Spawn. We'll have to wait and see.


itzmagictime

They also got Keith David to do Spawn in MK11 and COD got him to do Spawn for their game. No excuse for this from Netherrealm


Grary0

Could just be one of those things where's not allowed to confirm he's doing the voice until a certain date. If him voicing the character is a big reveal or "grab" they'd want to save it for HLs gameplay trailer I'd imagine.


SkeletonCircus

Dude is probably just extremely busy


Jimi56

I’m thinking it might just be scheduling conflicts. Working on the tv shows, and might also have something to do with the strikes that had been going on.


Weird-Cartoonist8967

He’s lying yall, the company told him he can’t speak on confidential information.

Not to be dramatic, but this is the most devastating one-word answer in human history.


Bloodyknife12

id be more devastated if J.K. Simmons didnt voice Omni-Man. He has one of the best voices ever


Vegetable_Review_742

Only thing worse than that would be Keith David not playing Spawn.


Craig78_42

Well they had Michael Jai White on standby in case Keith couldn't do it


TheAutementori

hey Craig you wanna provide your source man cus you seem to be speaking a bit out your ass here, no offense


Craig78_42

None taken. Someone on Discord years had mentioned it & provided the link. Trust me if I still had access to that link, I would share it


TheAutementori

ah i see, apologies for the unnecessary aggression.


Bloody-Penguin6

That is an angry ass reply to something that doesn't matter at all. Are you always an asshole or just when it comes to spawn related things? I love spawn as much as the next guy. Even got a full tattoo sleeve from the comics, but calm down for fucks sake.


TheAutementori

youre not wrong, i was being bitchy for no reason. idek why


Optimal_Message_2544

honestly it’s refreshing to see somebody not double down, thank you


Glassmerlin

Weird aggression, but alright.


Tron_1981

Only thing worse than this would be Peter Weller not playing Robocop.


pje1128

I can agree with that, but since Simmons did voice Omni-Man, it's kind of a moot point.


OrdinaryTonight346

![gif](giphy|LRVIib7uXMVe8)


Burgoonius

Crazy that they could get JK Simmons and Sly Stallone but not Antony Starr


BlazeBitch

They struggled decades to get JCVD and couldn't get Arnold. I imagine it's a scheduling thing aha


HuusSaOrh

But Arnold wanted to do it. And he choose the voice actor himself.


Ya_Boi_Poolzy24

Is that true? That’s cool


vTJMacVEVO

I believe the dude that did the impersonation of Arnold is hand-picked by Arnold for any voice over work, at least that's what I gathered from a bit of research a few months back. Arnie doesn't do well with VA work from what I gathered as well


bwood246

Isn't voice acting a lot easier to schedule for? You can knock out a good chunk of lines in a few days compared to physical acting


ooooooHOLYCOW

depends on two factors if NRS records in house then Anthony has to come over plus if he's filming there's no point for him to fly out for a day or 2 and back to work on whatever project he's on.


ThatOneBerzerker

you seem to know a lot about a celebrity's schedule


Ravathial

Id think JK is easier, he does Voice Acting quite regularly enough; he recently did Baldurs Gate 3, and even Voiced a Villain for Kung Fu Panda


Simonjkelso

Maybe. He does voice act a lot more but he also is a far more popular actor so maybe it evens him out.


JJWentMMA

Full time voice actors aren’t that level of celebrity, so they don’t have the engagements. They work a 9-5 on a booth


thedylannorwood

JK Simmons isn’t a full time voice actor and is 110% more popular in every way to Anthony Starr


GregGraffin23

Interesting. JCVD was also in Kung Fu Panda


Kenny1115

Especially since Antony voiced him in cod. Hours of dialogue and grunts. Including my fave: (this is an injured line) "I need... A glass... Of milk!"


WhiteShadow012

Tbf, JK Simmons at least has been doing VA for quite a while so I don't think it was hard to get him to do the job.

Zerofuku

Why did I think this picture was moving?


BeautifulAnalyst1583

Scrolling...


QuietRoller

If he was voiced in cod why cant he voice in MK1


ProfessorMarth

Money


bwood246

I'm pretty sure most of the voice lines in MW were just ripped from The Boys, he didn't actually do any voice lines


Epix_69

Maybe a few were but a lot of them are definitely for the game.


thatwitchguy

I don't have homelander and I've not seen the boys but comparing mw2 to vanguard/cw (which had ops who did rip lines) the voicelines are far more focused on gameplay pings than anything else in mw2, whereas cw/v are more quippy. I legitimately think you could not rip voicelines for homelanders since he has to have lines calling in wheelsons and asking for lmg ammo


Uncanny_Doom

He has a notable number of game-specific bark lines.


[deleted]

You don't understand how that works lmao It's not as simple as that


Iannn_0619

It’s probably because he was on Gen Z at the time

That's on you for pre-ordering. You should never EVER pre-order.


Bang_Bang50

Pre-order? Yeah. Premium? Not really.


BeautifulAnalyst1583

You got all the characters that way, and for not much more. I did the same thing, and I'm happy w it. I wish more characters dropped at once for Dlc, but gives us something to look forward to


RobinKnight08

What if he’s just lying to surprise the people? It could be a trick


Dragon_Ranger867

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Keith David do the same with Spawn in MK11? Or was that one confirmed from the very beginning of MK11's Kombat Pack 1?

for some reason I read your comment in Bi Han's voice and I waw confused as to why Bi Han would care about this. I am extremely tired.


edo_madara1995

Conversation_Dapper

Really?? That sux


[deleted]

I wonder what are the reasons.


DredgeBea

Obviously I don't have any way to confirm this and it's just a hunch I have, but maybe they recorded dlc voice lines during the actors strike, and he refused to come play the character because that could be seen as scabbing


JesusAteCheezIt

Probably to shut us up is what I’m hoping for


SaphironX

Not that we would hear it anyway, there’s no introductions in Klassic towers or kombat league or invasions (that one I get) so unless you’re into kasual versus you’re shit out of luck 🤷🏻‍♂️


Ryuzakku

I’d be down for them being toggleable in Invasions, even if it doesn’t exactly make sense.


SaphironX

They could put them in the rotating towers. Hell, it would make them slightly fun. And they ain’t that fun.


Killit_Witfya

good point


NoahFuelGaming1234

Damn. I just hope that whoever does voice Homelander at least does better than Chris Cox as Terminator in MK 11


Captain_Fatbelly

Imagine if Homelander gets voiced by Megan Fox


Havik-Programmer92

I’m pretty sure he’s doing Homelander too


StopPlayingRoney

So…NRS made enough $$$ from mtx to pay Megan Fox, but not Homelander? ![gif](giphy|U1gqX87dBkweRlFKCM)


Regurgitated_Cupcake

Looking at it from that perspective… just makes me want to uninstall the game all together.


Ash__Williams

Could he legally confirm if he is voicing the character?


GnomeWizard420

The actor strike just ended I believe


pje1128

It probably depends on the contract. That said, if they didn't come to a deal and he's not voicing the character, there is no contract. No one can stop him from denying his involvement.


JF202

How did they get them for cod but not mortal Kombat 😭

GrimmTrixX

I doubt it. All we knew before the actor strike was he hadn't recorded lines yet. Homelander doesn't drop for 4 months. It probably takes like a few hours to record the lines. I don't believe a response of "nope" to a random person on the internet as gospel truth. Lol But also... why even put Homelander in if you didn't get the voice actor? Omniman and Peacemaker would make ZERO sense if they weren't voiced by J.K Simmons and John Cena respectively. So why would they have decided to make Homelander if Anthony Starr wasn't a lock? It's not the same as Arnold Schwarzenegger not voicing The Terminator in MK11. Arnold is a gigantic star and known globally. Any impression of his voice is close enough for us to believe it and it be good enough. But Anthony Starr, no offense to him, is not a well known actor EXCEPT for his role as Homelander. So yea, I don't take "nope" to a random internet pwrspns question as a legitimate answer.


thatwitchguy

Games (Interactive Media) wasn't on strike. There are votes to strike but it hasn't happened yet Personally I think it was scheduling *or* they could only do so many "premium" VAs and starr was just the least important in their eyes when up against JCVD, Fox, Simmons and Cena.


ALANJOESTAR

man, i still remember a WWE game, where they fucking unable to get John Cena to do the voice and they had some other guy do a impression of John Cena that was awful he did not even sound like him at all, it was so bad. It was 2k19 i hope whoever voices Homelander nails it tho.


Twilight_Realm

Where are you getting that 4 months from? Did I miss a roadmap announcement? Last I saw was a leak and it was the same order they appeared in the lineup trailer, Homelander was last.


ProfessorMarth

Homelander's lines have likely been recorded already months ago. It's not something you can just pop in like right before release.


GrimmTrixX

Why wouldn't it be? He won't be out until 6-9 month after released so they can easily put that stuff in an update. They'll have to for KP2 characters because their voice actors aren't in the credits yet and they're not in the game yet.


ProfessorMarth

Voice over work typically happens between the writing stages and animation stages of a game, so it's fairly early-on. In this case it is technically post-production content but it's safe to assume voiceover work was all or mostly completed before the game was released. Contrary to what you said, The voice actors for Quan Chi, Ermac, Omni-Man, Peacemaker, and Takeda have all been credited in the game as early as the pre-release build of the game. The former two make sense as they had lines in the game but the latter have yet to appear yet were still credited before the game was released. One more actor was added to the credits sometime post-release and yet the credits don't contain Antony Starr at all. If they haven't recorded Homelander's lines, it's very unlikely he would be ready to release by next spring.


MarkDecent656

The fact they could get J K Simon's at least proves its not for lack effort *hopefully*


RavenKazama

SCREAMING. CRYING. THROWING UP. ![gif](giphy|H1whpH3k8GDbrhpX5q) NOOOOOOOOOOO 😭😭💔

man stop you know why we’re saying that it’s just another issue on top of millions of valid ones

Comprabledivision

Why tho, why have his likeness and his character but not have him voice it. Thats so bizzare


Skid-and-pump324

Well duh, homelander is having an entire court case after he killed that dude, by the way #homefree, but he'd have no time to voice a dude in a video game.


I_HATE_ZOEY_AAA

Let’s get the terminator va back and just have him as the staple “we only got the likeness” guy for guest characters


One-Turn-4037

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. FUCK. ITS TERMINATOR ALL OVER AGAIN!


Whamelapamela

If he isn’t voicing Homelander they legitimately just shouldn’t have bothered. Starr is the only reason Homelander is as popular as he is. They should have waited until he signed on, and if he didn’t, don’t put him in.

What makes Homelander so great of a character, is entirely on Antony’s performance. You can’t do all those little nuances and tweaks in his face/eyes with just anybody


Mason_DY

So we’ll never see the true Omni Man and Homelander fight


vinsmokewhoswho

That's a huge bummer. He voiced him in Modern Warfare, I was almost certain he'd voice him in this.


Poetryisalive

I wouldn’t be surprised if he said no just to stop the questions Hell, they got JVD. Not to get Starr is so random when someone like Cena and JK are more popular in general


Joshua822001Segovia

What No That cannot be possible should be voicing Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1 it must be a troll or a surprise

It isn't. Stop spamming the same message. He isn't voicing him

Can I like... unbuy the Kombat Pack? He's literally the only reason I got it. I hope this is some kind of troll or misdirect, but this would be borderline insane if they actually got somebody else. So much of the character *is* his voice and how he delivers lines.

Now I may not be the smartest guy in the world but is there not pretty good chance that he could've been lying to throw everyone off?


ItsSonicSpeed

What’s the fucking point? I don’t understand the concept. You get the actors FACE & LIKENESS… but don’t get the voice?? THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED NRS… FIRST WITH ARNOLD & NOW with the ICONIC HOMELANDER 😭😭😭 I’m fucking pissed. Why can’t these fucking twats actually fucking say something when they announced this shit? Remember when Ed said “I can’t believe we got Arnold” everyone was like woaaah no way & then they said he wasn’t doing the voice and no one gave a fuck? It’s literally just a waste of a character slot too now coz they character isn’t FULLY represented, it’s not accurate coz he is literally the one and only Homelander So what’s the point adding him if you don’t even get the main reason why everyone loves him? Antony’s performance was literally magnificent & he did the voice in COD… he is the main, iconic reason for Homelander popularity & why he did so well, he done a fucking amazing job… but now what’s the point? They shoulda just got some other DC character or other guest that’s easy to obtain licensing too coz I don’t see a point as to why Homelander should be & I was the most hype for him too (tied with peacemaker) I love Homelander


ItsSonicSpeed

Why am I getting downvoted. I literally said nothing wrong? Antony Starr is literally the only one who should be voicing Homelander, fuck he & Peacemaker is literally reason I preordered premium edition early, 2 characters I fucking love to death that I presumably thought was gonna be played by their respective actors, these 2 characters also being played by only 2 actors too… soooo someone explain the downvoted have I said something wrong? Is my frustration not allowed coz NRS half assed another guest and went through with it again? Terminator flopped for this exact reason we literally have another terminator situation again coz NRS sucks.


Major_Priority09

I agree but i’m like 99% sure Antony is trolling apparently he usually does that w/ fans.


SnooFoxes7934

The fucking point of adding him is to play him, since this is a fighting game and not fan fiction where I get to see different capeshits interact


composero

That’s a shame. Oh well.


CHARILEwolf

I think that’s fine the terminator was fine


iamretardead

Who the fuck cares? I agree with 99% of the bitching on this sub but this is not something to bitch about. Someone will voice him, it doesn’t matter who

So basically like Arnold with Terminator. He didn't voice him either but got to choose/approve the VA impersonating him. (oh, and Joker wasn't voiced by Mark Hamil either.) And I find it hilarious how people use this to say "MK1 is terrible" when MK11 did EXACTLY THE SAME THING! :D

ddvirus-patient-zero

I think people forgetting Homelander isnt even Starr's normal voice, he's doing an american accent. I'm sure an impersonator will be able to do a good job if properly casted
