Fans are wondering who is voicing LeBron James in MultiVersus after noticing that the Los Angeles Lakers player isn’t actually voicing himself in the game.
John Bentley, the voice behind popular characters such as Barrett Wallace from the Final Fantasy VII Remake, will be the voice for Lebron James in MultiVersus. NBA Superstar LeBron James was revealed to be joining the roster in Warner Brother’s new fighting game on July 22, during their San Diego Comic Con Panel.
The event featured a quick one minute trailer, which revealed LeBron, and showcased some gameplay that fully detailed his character’s moveset. LeBron starred in Space Jam 2 once again teaming up with the Looney Tunes so the crossover with Warner Bros. characters isn’t as far fetched as it might seem.
Fans who paid close attention to detail realized that LeBron’s character in the trailer didn’t sound like the actual NBA superstar. This led to the eventual announcement that LBbron would not be voicing himself, and instead industry veteran John Bentley would be the voice of the popular NBA player. Bentley has voiced characters in Final Fantasy, Call of Duty, and Batman: The Telltale Series.
Once he joins MultiVersus, this will mark LeBron’s first appearance in a video game outside of a basketball franchise such as NBA 2K or NBA Live.
