Hotly anticipated Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 reveals its casting director for the English dub, Cowboy Bebop's Wendee Lee
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 sent shockwaves throughout the anime and gaming fandom after it was announced at Anime Expo 2025. The original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was a critically acclaimed anime series produced by Studio Trigger in collaboration with CD Projekt Red (CDPR) and R. Taslorian Games that released in 2022 on Netflix. The series was meant to have a self-contained storyline that didn't leave much room for a sequel, which is reflected in Cyberpunk: Edgerunner 2's marketing. The teaser trailer confirms that a major character death from the original series will stick, and statements characterizing the upcoming series as a 'standalone sequel' seem to imply it may feature a new cast of characters altogether. Another important detail about the production was revealed on July 6, with veteran voice actor Wendee Lee, known for her roles in Cowboy Bebop, Bleach and Lucky Star confirming that she'll be the casting and voice director for the upcoming series. Wendee Lee is the director of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2's English dub * Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II * I cannot wait to cast & voice direct this badass sequel! The new anime will be another 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077, described as 'a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge'. 💔 The English voice acting of the original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was praised as one of its strongest points, with the performances of Zach Aguilar, Emi Lo and Giancarlito Esposito receiving multiple plaudits. The English dub of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will have high standards to live up to, but Wendee Lee is a seasoned industry veteran with plenty of experience under her belt. Having started her career with 1985's Robotech, she's gone on to voice many iconic roles over the years. Wendee Lee's well known as the voice of Faye Valentine in the cult classic Cowboy Bebop, Conan Edogawa in the Bang Zoom dub of Case Closed, and Yoruichi in Bleach. Her voice directing experience is also extensive, with her having worked on the English dub of Digimon Adventure, Outlaw Star and Bleach. More recently, she was also the voice director for 2021's Cells at Work! Code Black. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is the latest entry in the Cyberpunk franchise The Cyberpunk franchise originated with the Cyberpunk tabletop game that was produced by Mike Pondsmith and R. Taslorian Games in 1988. The second edition of the game, Cyberpunk 2020, was released in 1990, and served as the foundation for the rest of the franchise. CD Projekt Red released their highly anticipated video game adaptation of the setting, known as Cyberpunk 2077, in December 2020. While the original launch was fairly controversial due to the game's unfinished and poorly optimized state, CDPR's continued support for the title, alongside the runaway success of the original Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, has cemented the video game as one of the company's flagship titles.

Rachel Brosnahan opens up about stepping into Lois Lane's shoes and what the character means to her
Stepping into the shoes of Lois Lane was never going to be easy. But for Rachel Brosnahan, who takes on the iconic role in the new Superman film, the decision came down to more than just playing a part; it was about what the story stands for. During a recent chat with Hindustan Times, she explained what drew her in and how she approached the role. 'There's something urgent and alive about Lois,' Brosnahan said. 'She's not just the love interest. She's bold, she's smart, and she fights for truth. To me, she's one of those everyday heroes we all recognise," she added. The appeal, she said, wasn't just about wearing the cape or stepping into a big franchise. It was the deeper meaning behind the character. 'Stories like this remind us — sure, there might be people with powers, but there are also regular folks doing brave things in small ways. Lois represents that," Brosnahan explained. Taking on a role that's been played by several others over the years comes with its own kind of pressure. Brosnahan admits she felt the weight of expectations. 'You can drive yourself crazy thinking about the responsibility. But ultimately, you have to trust your team — the writers, the director — and show up prepared,' she said. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star added, 'It feels a bit like theatre sometimes. Lois has existed in so many forms — in comics, animation, TV, film. You have to honour that history while also bringing something new.' Brosnahan also had a warm message for her fans in India. 'I'm so grateful for the support. And honestly, I'd love to be in an Indian film someday,' she said. She explained how she and her Maisel team often took inspiration from Bollywood. 'We'd talk about the colour, the movement, the energy. It's just so rich. It would be a dream to be part of something like that.' What ethnicity is Rachel Brosnahan? Rachel Brosnahan is of Irish and British descent on her father's side and has Jewish roots on her mother's side. Was Rachel Brosnahan on The Good Wife? Yes, she had a recurring role as Rachel Posner on The Good Wife, which helped her gain early attention. Who is the new Lois Lane actress in Superman? Rachel Brosnahan is playing Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman reboot. What has Rachel Brosnahan been in? She's best known for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but has also appeared in House of Cards, Manhattan, and several other films and TV shows.
