“Rick and Morty” season 7 premieres in the United States on Sunday, and a new voice actor has been revealed to replace co-creator Justin Roiland. Narrator Ian Cardoni plays alcoholic scientist grandfather Rick Sanchez, and Harry Belden plays clumsy grandson Morty Smith. These new voices, or rather “sound-alikes” as Adult Swim put it, were first heard in the trailer, but the studio didn’t reveal their names. For the uninitiated, show co-creator Roiland was fired from the company earlier this year amid misconduct allegations.The charges were later dismissed, but NBC reports Since September, he has claimed that he is “using his fame to attract younger fans”.

We believe in the power of this season and our new voices, and we want to preserve the viewing experience for fans,” an Adult Swim insider revealed in a statement. Report Since last month. I can imagine this causing some problems, such as some die-hard fans going to great lengths to find a voice actor’s past work and denigrating or avoiding them based on it – although the Rick and Morty Season 7 trailer makes it clear that this The voice actors wouldn’t be too far removed from Roiland’s interpretation of these characters.according to type, the new season’s opening credits also don’t have the usual “Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon” above the logo. It looks like the studio will continue to use new voice actors for the next few seasons, with Season 8 already written – with 10 more on order.

Morty will also be in the mix, along with an entire rescue team consisting of Birdman, Gearhead, President Curtis, and Mr. Poo, running through the tears of the multiverse as they encounter robot ghosts, bloody spaghetti, and more. Recurring character Mr. Poo, who was also voiced by Roiland, has now been recast by John Allen, taking the pressure off Cardoni and Belden, who already have a lot to do.
“Asking either of them to fully play Poppy would have been difficult given the time constraints we were in, and because this is the most extensive role Poppy has ever played,” showrunner Siss said. Kurt Mader said in a statement. interview. “We ended up finding another guy, John Allen, who came on late in the game. He took the pressure off Ian and Harry, who were both working on Poop, but for either of them, it was a big deal. Playing him in one episode of the show felt too much and they had to be completely redone.” They also noted that the search for a new voice actor lasted six months, with thousands of applicants – most of whom sounded like Wrestler Randy Savage, not Rick himself. It turns out that a group of auditionees were “hits” but when asked to perform their voices in a conversational manner, they couldn’t do it.
