Who are the voice actors in Marvel’s Avengers: War for Wakanda?
Wakanda isn’t dry of voice talent.
Not to be outdone by the Oscar-winning Marvel Studios’ Black Panther film, the War for Wakanda expansion in Marvel’s Avengers has its own talented cast behind these iconic characters. Most of the voices you’ll hear in Wakanda will be familiar, and they were guided by dialect coach Beth McGuire, who also had the same role in the MCU film. Read on to see where you’ve heard these voices before.
Christopher Judge – T’Challa/Black Panther
Headlining War for Wakanda is Christopher Judge, who the gaming community will recognize as Kratos in the 2018 God of War game. Before his turn in the Sony game, Judge was most famous for his role as Teal’c in the sci-fi television series Stargate SG-1. Judge portrays a more experienced Black Panther compared to the late Chadwick Boseman’s MCU iteration of the character.
