Speaking during a panel at Washington State Summer Con on June 21, Cox admitted he hasn't played the game and felt unworthy of the recognition he's received for voicing Gustave, the main protagonist. 'Apparently the game is awesome. I'm not a gamer, I have no idea, I haven't played it,' Cox said. 'I was in the studio for four hours, maybe… I feel like a total fraud.'
The game, developed by Sandfall Interactive—a small studio with big ambitions—features an impressive voice cast, including Cox, Andy Serkis, Ben Starr, and Jennifer English. Despite the short recording sessions, performances were widely praised. Cox emphasized that he didn't mean to diminish the project's success, adding, 'I'm so thrilled for the company… so thrilled it did really well.'
Other cast members, however, praised the unique and streamlined recording experience. In a behind-the-scenes video by Skill Up, both Starr and English highlighted the team's efficiency. 'We recorded so quickly,' English shared. 'It was the fastest game I've ever done as far as, like, the lines per hour.' Starr echoed the sentiment, noting the director Guillaume Broche's clarity of vision. 'You turn up, and we do something, and Guillaume would go 'that one.' He knew exactly what he wanted.'
While Cox may feel undeserving, the combination of seasoned voice talent and strong direction helped Clair Obscur resonate with players and critics alike, solidifying its place among the year's top games. Despite his humility, Cox's portrayal of Gustave contributed to the title's emotional depth and narrative impact.

Punisher crashes Spider-Man: Jon Bernthal joins Tom Holland in Marvel's darkest Spidey film yet
Jon Bernthal is officially returning as the Punisher, this time on the big screen alongside Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film is the latest installment in the Sony-Marvel Spider-Man franchise and is set to be directed by Shang-Chi's Destin Daniel Cretton. Production begins this summer in England, with a theatrical release scheduled for July 31, 2026. Bernthal made his debut as vigilante Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, in Netflix's Daredevil, later leading his own gritty Marvel series. He recently reprised the role in Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, and Marvel is further investing in the character with a standalone Punisher film, which Bernthal is also co-writing. Spider-Man: Brand New Day will pick up after the events of No Way Home, which ended with the world forgetting Peter Parker's identity. The cast also sees the return of Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned, while Stranger Things star Sadie Sink joins in a mystery role. While plot details remain tightly guarded, Bernthal's inclusion suggests a more grounded tone. Known for his brutal, street-level justice, the Punisher's appearance in the traditionally more family-friendly Spider-Man series raises questions about how Marvel will balance tone and character continuity. Bernthal and Holland share history, having helped each other prepare for their original Marvel auditions while filming Pilgrimage in 2017. With the Punisher officially entering the MCU's cinematic Spider-Verse, fans are eager to see how this dynamic plays out.

Damson Idris hints at Marvel talks for potential T'Challa role in Black Panther franchise
Damson Idris has hinted at ongoing conversations with Marvel Studios regarding a role in the Black Panther franchise, lending credibility to recent casting rumors. The Snowfall star, who currently appears alongside Brad Pitt in F1: The Movie, was previously speculated to be among those considered to take over the mantle of T'Challa, following the passing of original actor Chadwick Boseman. Idris initially responded to the rumors on social media with sarcasm, claiming he had also declined roles in a 007 film, a Daniel Day-Lewis collaboration, and an Eddie Murphy biopic—comments that many took lightly. However, during a recent appearance on Today (via Entertainment Weekly), Idris offered a more ambiguous response when asked directly whether he had spoken with Marvel about playing Black Panther. After hesitating, he answered: 'Yes-no.' When asked if he would take the role if offered, he confirmed with a clear 'yes.' While initial speculation centered on recasting the original T'Challa, current reports suggest Marvel may instead be casting the character's son, Toussaint (also named Prince T'Challa), introduced at the end of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. This younger character is expected to appear in an upcoming Avengers film, eventually playing a central role in Black Panther 3. Director Ryan Coogler, who directed the first two Black Panther films, expressed in a 2022 New York Times interview that he remains committed to the franchise. 'I'll do it as long as folks will have me,' Coogler said, emphasizing the cultural and commercial impact of the series.
