God of War Star Voicing Black Panther In War For Wakanda

Marvel's Avengers Continues To Have Big Voice Talent
by Oliver VanDervoort on July 16, 2021   

Marvel's Avengers continues to have some very big names attached to its voice cast. This time that big name is Christopher Judge, who will be voicing the Black Panther in the upcoming War for Wakanda expansion. 

Judge is best known among this generation of gamers as the voice of Kratos in God of War. He told EW that when he was first approached about expanding his resume to voice king T'Challa, he didn't want to do it, likely knowing that he would always be compared to Chadwick Boseman, who first brought Black Panther to life on the big screen. Boseman passed away last year.

" I turned it down straight away," Judge said. "There's many Black Panthers, but I really didn't believe that anyone should ever do T'Challa again [after Boseman]. The actual talks proceeded and, basically, I wound up doing it because my mother and my children said if I didn't do it, they would disown me."

"To be quite honest, I was fearful of being compared to what Chadwick had so wonderfully done," he continued. "The only way I could really wrap my head around it was to not even attempt a voice match, to let my performance stand on its own. I put all that into it and hopefully people like it."

In some respects, that's no different than the rest of the voice actors in Marvel's Avengers. While some skins have since been added to the game that do mirror their MCU counterparts, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow are all very different people in the game than they were on the big screen. None of the characters sound similar at all either.

That should allow Judge to put his own spin on Black Panther while honoring the memory of Boseman. 

Marvel's Avengers expansion War for Wakanda launches sometime in August.
