Aside from his small robotic noises, we haven't heard him speak yet, and now we know who will be voicing the character, thanks to a report from Empire, who also revealed the awesome new photo of the character, which you can see above.
Matthew Wood, a sound editor and voice actor who has worked on multiple Star Wars films and series, has been announced as the voice of H.E.R.B.I.E. in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. Wood is best known for providing the voice of General Grievous in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith , as well as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Tales of the Empire . He is also the current actor for Bib Fortuna, having played the Twi'lek majordomo in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace , The Mandalorian , Star Wars: The Bad Batch , and The Book of Boba Fett .
Everything about this movie just gets me more exited to watch. This is a great addition to the already fantastic cast, and I look forward to hearing more from the robot character.

ESPN, Fox team up for bundled streaming service in October
Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Disney's ESPN and Fox Corp. on Monday announced the two rivals are joining forces to offer a streaming service to consumers as a bundle for $39 per month. The two media giants announced the service but last week ESPN and Fox each announced separate all-in-one streaming apps. The services can be downloaded on devices, including cellphones and tablets, and can be accessed on smart TVs and gaming consoles. With viewership declining on TV, including cable, media companies have turned to streaming services as a way to boost viewership and revenue. CNBC reported that sports is a way to accomplish this. Last week, both companies announced their services -- ESPN's Direct to Consumer Unlimited Offering and Fox One -- will launch on Aug. 21 before the college football and NFL seasons. But the bundle won't be available until October. ESPN's separate service will cost $29.99 month and Fox's will be $19.99. Also, ESPN will offer a bundle with Disney's other streaming services, Disney+ and Hulu, for $35.99 per month. Besides events, both companies present sports news. The ESPN service will include live sports and programming from its TV networks, including ESPN2, the SEC Network, the ACC Network, as well as Disney-owned ABC. ESPN also reached an agreement last week with the NFL to acquire the NFL Network, including the Red Zone. And ESPN last week signed a deal with the WWW for U.S. rights in 2026 to its biggest wrestling events, including WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble and SummerSlam. In all, ESPN/ABC cover 47,000 live events each year, as well as studio shows and original programming. ESPN and ABC sports include Monday Night Football, college football and basketball, NHL, NBA, Major League Soccer, golf, tennis and motorsports. In addition, an enhanced app will integrate game statistics, betting information, fantasy sports, multi-view options and a "personalize SportsCenter For You," the company said. Fox's parent company offers Tubi and Fox Nation. Fox's sports networks include FS1, FS2 and the Big Ten Network. The company said Fox One won't have original content. Last week, Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch and Disney CEO Bob Iger said during earnings calls that they were considering offering bundle services. Fox Sports' coverage includes NFL, college football and basketball, Major League Baseball, FIFA World Cup, Major League Soccer, motorsports, WNBA, LIV Golf and boxing. Three other media companies offer sports: Comcast's NBC, Warner Bros. Discovery's TNT and Paramount Skydance's CBS. NBC, which has the rights to the Olympics, has Peacock streaming, and CBS offers Paramount+, services that include sports. TNT doesn't have a specific app but its services can be bundles with other apps. On Monday, Paramount announced plans to televise UFC events starting next year.

Bruce Springsteen biopic to premiere at NY Film Festival
Bruce Springsteen biopic to premiere at NY Film Festival NEW YORK — Bruce Springsteen will bless New York City with an early look at his upcoming biopic, 'Deliver Me From Nowhere.' The 2025 New York Film Festival announced Monday that the film, starring Jeremy Allen White as the New Jersey rocker, will be its Spotlight Gala selection, premiering Sept. 28 at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. The Boss is expected to attend the screening, along with director and writer Scott Cooper, and the film's stars, including Jeremy Strong, who plays his manager and record producer Jon Landau, and Odessa Young, who stars as Springsteen's love interest Faye. Officially titled 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,' the 20th Century Studios musical drama centers on the making of Springsteen's sixth album, 'Nebraska,' in 1982. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in his New Jersey bedroom and without The E Street Band, the folksy solo outing — released before the mega-selling 'Born in the U.S.A.' — is ranked among Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Adapted from Warren Zanes' book of the same title, the film also stars Stephen Graham, Paul Walter Hauser and Gaby Hoffmann. New York Film Festival's artistic director Dennis Lim called the movie a 'fitting tribute to a living legend' in Monday's announcement. 'The New York Film Festival has always felt like a spiritual home for the kind of cinema I believe in,' Cooper said in a statement. 'To now arrive with a film about Bruce Springsteen — an artist whose music shaped not just a country but my own sense of storytelling — is something I could never have imagined.' He added, 'Getting to know Bruce, to explore his world and his spirit, has been one of the most profound creative experiences of my life. To share that experience with New York audiences, in a city that defines artistic possibility, is both an honor and a responsibility I hold with deep gratitude.' White, who won two Emmy Awards for his star turn in the Hulu series 'The Bear,' previously portrayed professional wrestler Kerry Von Erich on the big screen in 'The Iron Claw.' But for his latest role, the Brooklyn-born Calvin Klein underwear model endured more pressure for portraying the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer. 'Getting that out, it was so much pressure,' the actor told Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show' in June. 'You're playing a real person — nevermind Bruce Springsteen — and I was really touched [when] the trailer came out. I had more texts than when I blacked out and won that Golden Globe (for The Bear).' 'I didn't realize trailers were that big of a thing,' he added. 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere' is expected to hit theaters Oct. 24. _______
