Mark Hamill has been confirmed as the voice actor for The Joker in MultiVersus by Player First Games and Warner Bros. Hamill is widely celebrated for his work voicing The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series since 1992. He recently announced plans to step away from the role following the death of Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy. However, a new MultiVersus trailer sees Hamill’s Joker confront Batman, along with other characters such as Shaggy, Ayra Stark and Bugs Bunny, using a crowbar, explosives, and playing cards.
The upcoming MultiVersus game will be released on May 28 as a free download on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. An open-beta was shared in 2022, attracting 10 million players before it was shut down without much explanation in March 2023. It was later announced to be relaunching earlier this year after rebuilding its infrastructure from the ground up with the ability to provide pinpoint accuracy.
The game includes characters from a variety of franchises, including Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes, Game of Thrones, Tom and Jerry, Adventure Time, Space Jam, Rick & Morty, and Gremlins. MultiVersus originally announced that Conroy would continue to voice Batman, with lines recorded prior to his death in 2022. The pair will also appear in the upcoming DC animated film Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part 3, set to release on July 16, 2024.
