Voice Actor James Woods Confirms work on Kingdom Hearts III

James Woods confirmed on Twitter that he is working on Kingdom Hearts III! You can view the tweet below.
 
 
 



 
Previously, the only news we had on voice work for Kingdom Hearts III was the Japanese dub given to us in previous trailers from the 2015 E3 trailer up to the last ones revealed at D23 Expo 2018.
 
Which other Kingdom Hearts voice actors do you think will be next to reveal their work for the latest installment? Let us know in the comments below!

Voice actors for Hiro and Baymax in the Spanish dub of Big Hero 6 hint at recording for a new video game

Memo Aponte Mille, the voice actor for Hiro Hamada in the Spanish dub of Big Hero 6, had recently published a video on his Instagram teasing his involvement in dubbing a role for an upcoming new game along with co-star Alan Prieto, who voiced Baymax. The video seems not to be on Instagram anymore, but KHInsider reports that it was published on March 7, 2018. In the video, the actors say that they can't say what the game is about - so we cannot confirm if they are talking about Kingdom Hearts III - but hope that we will hear about it soon.
 
You can watch the video below.
 




 
There are still no concrete news about the voice acting for Kingdom Hearts III apart from the Japanese dub, which can be heard throughout all the trailers released since
up until the most recent ones at D23 Expo 2018 Japan, and which was talked about in recent interviews. With the game releasing this year, fans have been speculating on the development progress of the game, including its timeline for voice recording and the potential appearance of Disney characters' original voice actors. A year ago, Scott Adsit, the original English voice actor for Baymax, even expressed his interest in reprising his role if the opportunity arises in the future. Zachary Levi, the original voice actor for Flynn Rider in Tangled, tweeted on February that he hadn't been approached yet about reprising his role in Kingdom Hearts III. 
While the newer Kingdom Hearts games did not receive dubs in languages other than Japanese and English, both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II - the main games in the series so far - included Spanish, French, and German dubs. Last year, we helped our friends at Disney Central collect signatures for a petition to Square Enix requesting that these European dubs return for the long awaited Kingdom Hearts III.
 
While this news does not confirm that there will be Spanish (or French or German) voice acting in Kingdom Hearts III, we can only hope that there is a full localization in these languages to enable a wider fanbase to enjoy the last instalment of the Xehanort saga.
