"I feel like a total fraud": Charlie Cox downplays his contribution, giving candid response to his Clair Obscur Expedition 33 success
Charlie Cox
, popularly known as Marvel's Daredevil, made an unexpected mark within gaming with his Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's role. Despite him voicing the key character in the surprising 2025 game hit, Cox offered a disarmingly modest take on his involvement.
He stunned the fans with a remarkably humble reaction, as he received all praise for his role in the game's success. The candid comments shared by him reveal an unexpected perspective on the game's acclaim.
Charlie Cox gives an unexpectedly humble reaction to his
Clair Obscur Expedition 33
role
When fans and critics continued praising Charlie Cox's role in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the Daredevil star was caught off-guard. In one of the recent interviews, Cox didn't hold back feelings about all the praise coming his way.
The actor confesses openly, "People keep saying how amazing it and congratulations and I feel like a total fraud." His honesty stems from his limited contribution—via voice recording and the lack of gaming experience.

The star further added that his role was confined to a single and brief recording session that lasted only about 4 hours. "My agent asked me if I wanted to go and do a voice-over. I was in the studio for 4 hours… maybe," he stated.

Despite the modesty shown by Cox, Gustave's role has been praised widely; after all, it adds an emotional depth to the protagonist of the game. As he has not played this critically acclaimed game, an overwhelmingly positive response caught him off-guard.
He was thrilled about the achievement of the development team.
A low-key role proved to be more in this breakout hit
Unlike some big-budget games that go on and on with months of promotion, Cox was actually not a part of Expedition 33 marketing push.
During its release, he was actually busy filming 'Daredevil: Born Again.' It left very little time for him to do the game-related press. Such lack of visibility led many fans to mistake Gustave's voice for another actor's, adding to Cox's fraudulent remark.
Yet, the performance of the Daredevil star stood out. Some of his co-stars, including Ben Starr and Andy Serkis, praised Cox for his commitment. They said they are all not just tourists in the game.
Despite a very brief recording time, Cox was able to deliver a gripping portrayal that helped elevate Expedition 33 to be Game of the Year contender.
Developed by Sandfall Interactive, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has defied expectations. With the hybrid combat system and unique art style, the game has become a surprise hit. The game proves that even a small role can create a lasting impression with the emotional core of the story that was brought in by Coxs Gustave. While Cox might downplay contributions and feel like an accidental star, the fans and the critical do disagree.
With the success of the game, Expedition 33 is a standout title today, and it opens the door for many more Hollywood talent to join in on gaming—especially after Cox's performance.

The Fantastic Four First Steps Final India Advance Bookings: Marvel's much anticipated flick sells decent 57,500 tickets in top chains for day 1
The Fantastic Four: First Steps, directed by Matt Shakman and starring Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and others, is at the fag end of its advance bookings in India. As at 11pm, the movie has sold around 55,000 tickets in top national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis and the final advance number at 11:59pm should be 57,500 tickets or so. These are ordinary numbers for a Marvel flick, but the superhero brand has not been at its A-game since the last Spiderman movie in 2021. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Sells 57,500 Tickets In India's Top National Chains For Day 1 The Fantastic Four: First Steps ' pre-bookings were adversely affected by the screen-sharing issues. Bollywood movie Saiyaara is enjoying a dream run at the box office and that has made it difficult for Marvel's first family to get enough screens. This is a part and parcel of the movie business and it can't be said that the makers didn't see it coming when the advance bookings of Saiyaara opened. If not for the screen-sharing issue, the collections could have been say Rs 1 crore more than what it is likely to earn now. That's not much, and it proves that there certainly is a kind of a superhero fatigue in Asia. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Looks At A USD 225 Million Plus Global Weekend The biggie has excellent presales in North America, good presales in Europe and Oceania, and average presales in Asia. It is projected to collect USD 225 - 240 million over its first weekend globally, which is very good. If the word of mouth is favourable, it can leg to USD 700 million if not more. The Fantastic Four: First Steps Is Marvel's Last Movie Before Avengers: Doomsday The Fantastic Four: First Steps is Marvel's last movie before Avengers: Doomsday. Avengers: Doomsday is by far the biggest Marvel movie in terms of costs. There will be a high pressure of recovery with the global market for Hollywood movies, not as strong as 2019. However, if Doomsday strikes a chord, one can expect Secret Wars to blow the lids off, at the box office. The Fantastic Four: First Steps In Theatres The Fantastic Four: First Steps, hits theatres tomorrow, that is 25th July, 2025. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Panchayat polls turn into cultural carnival in US Nagar
Rudrapur: As the three-tier panchayat elections progress in Udham Singh Nagar, campaigns across the district have taken on a festive, culturally vibrant flavour — blending politics with folk beats, traditional rallies, and even celebrity appearances. Earlier this week, former jila panchayat president and Bhangaa seat candidate Renu Gangwar organised a roadshow featuring Haryanvi pop star and dancer Sapna Choudhary, drawing massive crowds on Tuesday. "Such events help connect emotionally with the rural youth and women voters," said a campaign volunteer. In Dopahariya, candidate Gurdas Kalra held a tractor and bullock cart rally, aiming to project a strong pro-farmer image. The procession passed through multiple agricultural hamlets, with supporters joining in large numbers, giving the campaign the feel of a rural fair. Meanwhile, several candidates across blocks like Kuraiya have continued using folk songs, often performed by local artists with lyrics on ploughing, sowing, and irrigation—blended with political slogans to connect with the farming community. Others have turned to traditional performances featuring instruments like the dhol, damaru, and nagara, with supporters dancing in ethnic attire as candidates campaign on foot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo These elements have become a daily fixture on the campaign trail in many rural pockets.
