‘Child’s Play’ Brings In Mark Hamill As The New Voice Of Chucky

With the newChild’s Playthis summer (watch the teaser trailer), we get an all new Chucky. This time the doll is said to turn towards the sinister side thanks to advanced artificial intelligence inside a new doll for a contemporary audience. Since we’re getting a whole new Chucky, it only makes sense that the doll who turns into a murderous force of nature gets a new voice. Today Orion Pictures and MGM announcedStar Warssaga legend and beloved voice actorMark Hamillwill bring the evil doll to life.

Mark Hamill made the announcement on Twitter and Orion Pictures followed up with an official press release. Hamill didn’t give us a taste of what he’ll bring to the table as the new Chucky, but he did give quite a sinister look at the end of the video announcement.

Anyone who is familiar with Mark Hamil’s work outside ofStar Warswill tell you that you couldn’t ask for a better voice actor to bring Chucky to life. Hamill previously brought The Joker to life inBatman: The Animated Series(and several other Batman projects), and many fans think he’s the best iteration of the DC Comics villain.

Here’s a showcase of the many voices Mark Hamill has done in animation over the years:

Also starring inChild’s PlayisAubrey Plaza(Parks and Recreation), who gives her son a new Buddi doll for his birthday, unaware that this doll is about to bring hell into their lives. Gabriel Bateman and Brian Tyree Henry also star in this reimagining of the horror classic from 1988, which could kick off a whole new franchise of toy-based terror.

Lars Klevberg(Polaroid) will direct with a script fromTyler Burton Smith(Sleeping Dogsvideo game).David KatzenbergandSeth Grahame-Smithare producing through their KatzSmith production banner, fresh off their remake of Stephen King’s IT. Katzenberg couldn’t be more thrilled about Hamill’s involvement in the remake:

Here’s hoping the movie around him uses his voice to its full potential. We’ll find out when Child’s Play opensJune 21, 2019.
