Voice actor – and long-time Wolverine star – Steve Blum could be reprising his role for Insomniac Games’ upcoming PS5 game, Marvel’s Wolverine. At least, that’s what some fans believe! A video shared on the veteran’s Instagram page resurfaced on TikTok this week, where he talks about shooting performance capture for an upcoming release.
In the clip, Blum is clearly seen wearing full facial capture equipment, and he confirms that the project he’s working on is related to a video game he signed an NDA on. To be fair, the actor is no stranger to the medium: he most recently starred in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and is also well-known for his work on Mortal Kombat character Sub-Zero. In fact, with Mortal Kombat 12 recently being revealed during an earnings call, it’s possible he may have been shooting for that.
There’s really not enough to go on here to assume Blum will reprise his role as Wolverine, although it would make a lot of sense: he’s played the character dozens upon dozens of times in various animated adaptations, and aside from Hugh Jackman, he’s probably the actor most closely associated with the character.
A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it. He also likes tennis games way more than you.
Well, of course he's no stranger to the medium, he holds a world record for being the most prolific video game voice actor.
He did Runner, the little indie VR arcade game, I'm sure he'd be doing wolverine, lol
He's my favourite Wolverine voice actor but i'm hoping they go for someone different who can bring something something new to the role personally.
Yeah I don't expect info on this game until we at least get some info on spiderman 2
