Now, if Willa is unable to return for KHIII/any other installment, which is possible due to  negative fan reaction (all the recasting from KH1 to II ring any bells) and her being unable to do it for whatever reason, I personally think Shailene would b my top pick for aqua. She is a very natrual actress and can made even the simplest roles (not that i am saying Aqua is) have depth and often act as if they how that exact character would act in real life. Plus she even kind looks like Aqua in real life now with her pixie cut hair: https://www.google.ca/search?q=shailene+woodley&num=100&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=7h6qU-OwFIGpyASljoHYDA&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=667&dpr=1#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=kDs96c1OSYIoHM%253A%3BQRkm0E9gNNAdeM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.gq.com%252Fblogs%252Fthe-feed%252F2014%252F03%252F16%252Fwoodley.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.gq.com%252Fblogs%252Fthe-feed%252F2014%252F03%252Fshailene-woodley-toothpaste-recipe.html%3B450%3B675

 

Now i still LOVE and support willa as Aqua but this is my back up plan, as one has to always have one, just in case. Even if not for this series, for the KHRP series as he said he does not like Willa as Aqua and Shai may be suitable for him. It would be ironic if this actually happened as Willa replaced Shai on The OC as Kaitlin Cooper (Shai being her in Season 1, Willa in Season 3 & 4, due to Shai not looking old enough even though they were both born in the same year, only about half a year apart). Sahi always has experience as a warriror as per Divergent, and can make one care about her character and love her (The Spectacualr now, Fault in our stars). I already love Aqua to pieces, and there is potential for Shai to make me love her even more.

 

I also personally think that she is the ideal choice for MJ in the ASM film series. She already filmed her scenes for ASm2, but was cut to keep the narrative more focused. She can pull off the Ultimate Version of MJ quite well, I see her when I  watch MJ in the Ultimate Spider-man show. She is a determined young women who has great beauty but is often blind to it and is set focused on her goals, much like Shailene is in real life.

Yes, I agree that Shailene would be a great replacement, but come on, don't deny Willa Holland!  Why does everyone dislike her voice of Aqua?  They're just jealous because she brought sexy back. :P  But anyways, in all seriousness, if for the ridiculous reason of people not liking Willa leads to her being unable to reprise her role of Aqua, then Shailene would be great! :)

plus do u also agree that Shai is ideal to keep playing MJ in the ASM movies even after her scenes were cut? She is so natrually talented and it would be good to see her play another romantic interest and determined young women, kinda combing her Divergent & Spectacular Now characters

Okay, I'll gladly sign the petition, hooray for Willa to voice Aqua again! :D

 

And also, yes, I want Shailene to play MJ!!!  She's perfect for the role! And she looks to be at her best in The Fault In Our Stars, which I need to see! X_X

The reason no one liked her at the beginning (in my opinion) was because people who were too used to watching the japanese trailers got too used to the japanese voice for Aqua and Willa sounded strange in contrast. This happened to me but I love Willa Holland's voice now.

To be honest I prefer an actual voice actress rather than a busy Hollywood star.

I think Miley Cyrus would be a good replacement

Edited by χ‎-blade

Willa won't be replaced unless she is unable to reprise the role herself. 

I really do like Willa. If it comes down to ot and she can't Shailene would be a pretty cool pick. Shai actually happens to be one of my favorite actresses.

To be honest I prefer an actual voice actress rather than a busy Hollywood star.

These busy Hollywood stars are what make KH seem cinematic rather than overused non anime/anime voice actors. They bring their characters to lifie wayyyy more, just listen to this compare between the two voices we've had for Ansem:

In the words of her, "you've got to be kidding me!"

Honestly back when I first play birth by sleep I didn't like her voice as Aqua because her was bland in my opinion. But after playing birth by sleep twice(first time for standard mode and second time for proud mode) her grew on me, and I love her voice now. I think Willa is Aqua the same way like Haley Joel Osment is Sora.

I don't say that I don't like the voices, but I actually prefer a real voice actor, why? because I don't like that they change their voices, like the case of Kairi/Xion and Ansem.  

"They bring their characters to lifie wayyyy more"

 

Maybe in some cases.

If willa couldn't do it there is another actress that sounds alike to her. Her name is Nina Dobrev, and I think hers would sound even better than Shailene would.

So many people bash the english version of Kingdom Hearts and it is very sickening. The voice actors try just as hard if not harder than the Japanese Voice actors do. I know its an opinion but some people have taken it too far and are saying that people are wrong for liking the english version! I don't care what other people think, I love the english version to death!!! Aqua's voice was beautiful. I have never heard a voice match a character so well! I really hope that she can return to finish BBS Final Mix and then voice act for KH III. I'm sure though that they will find someone...but I don't know if it'll be the same without her. Hopefully she'll see that many fans care for her and want her to come back.  :wink:

I love the english version to death!!!

Me too :).

I love Willa as Aqua; her voice just sounds so wise and and hesitant because she is starting a new journey as a Keyblade Master. I thought her voice was fine.

And as soranjaxx mentioned, if they do replace her, the should get Nina Dobrev to replace her. Their voices sound pretty similar but Nina has a bit more spunk.

Honestly back when I first play birth by sleep I didn't like her voice as Aqua because her was bland in my opinion. But after playing birth by sleep twice(first time for standard mode and second time for proud mode) her grew on me, and I love her voice now. I think Willa is Aqua the same way like Haley Joel Osment is Sora.

I agree. I think Willa sounded a bit bored in some spots but others her voice was perfect and now she is Aqua to me; I can't imagine another person doing Aqua after hearing Willa as her.

Coming from someone who usually prefers Japanese dubs over English, I find Aqua's English voice better than her Japanese version.

 

I still don't understand why people did her voice bad to this day. (and why the bad dubs get praise. >_>)

I love Willa as Aqua! she did a really great job with the voice! I think she has the most badass part in the game. When she is about to fight Terranort in Radiant Garden when she says "My name is Master Aqua, Now return my friends heart..or pay the PRICE!" That line was sooo amazing!! <333333

This is exactly why i am fighting for Willa in my video so that does not happen. Hayden was actually a voice actress in her childhood, and pretty much all were 4 Disney too:

 

Disney's dinosaur

A Bug's Life

Hoodwinked

Alpaha & Omega

 

(the latter two were actually AFTER kingdom hearts) etc.

Willa wont be replaced as Aqua. She will return. Unless she is busy enough with Arrow season 4 which will most likely begin production sometime in 2015-2016

You never know my friend, try telling that to all the other people who were recasted, most of which we have no idea why they were. some of which, like Tate donovan for KH1 were not really working on anything and perhaps wanted a break.

I'd prefer Kristen Stewart or Emma Watson.

Hmm i rather go with Emma Watson i mean she can be good at acting in Video Games right i mean she can be good at portraying as Aqua right.
