So, I thought to keep track of what actors are definitely coming back to voice the characters in the game, as well as the most likely newcomers, so I'll divide this between the OCs for this game series, the returning Disney Characters, & the new characters. Some I'm, not sure if they've been confirmed, so help me out if you know. Some of these I speculate, since some aren't confirmed yet, but will most likely be in these roles. These are, mostly, based upon what we've heard in the trailers.

 

I have a similar list on Kanzenshuu for Dragon Ball's digital distribution, so I thought that this would be fun.

Yeah.  I was hoping that James Earl Jones would voice MX but the voice I heard doesn't sound like him, it's not as deep as James Earl Jones'.

I know some people wanted the dude from back to the future to voice him, but I don't know how well he would've fit the role.

I wonder what other roles he was in.  What would make him a candidate to be MX's voice actor.

I dunno, actually. I think it may just be the fact his voice is a bit gravely. If you've ever seen Over the Garden Wall, he voiced the Woodsman.  He's played at least two villians before, but I've honestly never heard what he sounded like in these animations, since I never watched Cyberchase or Disney's Anastasia.

I believe James Earl Jones voiced Mufasa and is going to voice him again in the 2019 TLK remake.

Has it been confirmed yet if David Gallagher and Jesse McCartney are coming back to reprise their roles yet?

No, but it's more than likely that they have by now. David & Jesse have been voicing their characters for more than a decade now. i can't imagine that they'd stop having them back after they recorded for 1.5 & 2.5's cinematics for 358/2 Days & Re:coded.

I heard Vexen's VA say he wasn't called back. I am curious about that one as well. 

Derek Stephen Prince's voice is too iconic to try to get a voice double, especially when he's probably very easy to get. He said he wasn't months ago, but it's more than likely him, Jesse, & David are under NDAs & can't discuss being in the game until either the game is out, or Square or Disney announce they are, or they get the go ahead. I mean, a few VAs have confirmed their involvements on social media, but the rest that we have confirmation of we've either heard in the trailers, or Square have announced them, or we can guess by the characters' most recent actors. Hell, some things on the IMDb page I linked for this game weren't added till after I posted this, which leads me to think that I may have influenced that, since those VAs haven't been confirmed yet.

Probably though I hope that's not the case.  I haven't heard Even talk in the recent Kingdom Hearts games.  He only had a mention and a cameo in DDD and that was back in 2012.  That's what I think was his last appearance so far.

I mean, why wouldn't they get DSP back? Just because the character hasn't had speaking lines in 6 years doesn't mean a voice actor won't come back.

But it's not the first time that iconic voice actors have been replaced.  Billy Zane comes to mind.  I think he got caught up in some controversy and so was replaced.  I think Billy Zane was an appropriate for actor for XH since his voice was dark and menacing whereas the guy that took over sounded hoarse and gruff.

Billy Zane was replaced out of necessity, though. He starred in a controversial Turkish film that demonized the American troops in Iraq, as I explained up top. The only actors to be replaced before III were done so out of necessity because either the actors died, like Christopher Lee & Leonard Nimoy, or retired & so they had to find voice doubles. These few won't be replaced, honestly. They're too distinct & known to be replaced.

I think it would be really nice if they did a tribute to Nimoy and Xehanort's Japanese voice actor in particular as well as Christopher Lee. I know that Mickey's voice actor wasn't as iconic, but I would like see them acknowledge him as well. Of course, as bad as it sounds, I don't even know who is original one was. 

Wayne Allwine was Mickey since the 80s & you don't know who the guy was? Shame.

Anyways, maybe they will, maybe they won't. As far as we know, the only names that'll be included are 300 people's usernames from Union X. We don't know about anything else.

I am glad to see James Woods reprising his role.  It should be interesting to hear him say the lines from the movie and the enthusiasm that he'll put into the role.

I'll admit, I'm pretty young and not well-educated in the history of who voices most of the Disney characters, so no I don't know who he is.

I can probably link you to some videos.   I believe he voiced Mickey Mouse in House of Mouse.
