When the creators of the hit Hulu animated series started… Solar Contradictions It was necessary to replace the voice of the main character, and they did not just fill the role, but reinvented it. After the departure of Justin Roiland After season three, fans of the series wondered who would take over the voice of Corvo, the alien at the heart of the series. Then came the news that Dan Stevensknown for his roles in Downton Abbey, corps, And the Godzilla/Kong The films, will replace Roiland as the main character. He brings a fresh look and new energy to the character.

While many shows aim to mimic the original sound as closely as possible, Solar Contradictions They took a different approach, and not just by getting someone with a different accent. In contrast to Rick and Mortywhich simply replaced Royland with similar sounds, Solar Contradictions She embraced and adopted Stevens' British accent, something Stevens appreciated, as he recently told Comic Book Magazine:

“When they were looking for the voice, I threw myself into the ring. Mike McMahon found the idea of ​​this angry British type very strange and very funny. I felt like they came up with a very nice, simple, very silly way of saying, ‘Well, this is different now.’ I think maybe in the past it was like replacing the actor and continuing the work without anyone batting an eyelid. I think that’s a rarity now. I was pleased that they were able to replace me so simply.”

“For the most part, it seems to have been well received by the fans. I think if anything, it's just a sign of The difference between this offer and Rick and Morty Now. I think the similarities were related to a certain sound, and now they're different in this way.This change was also well received by Stevens, who really enjoys this type of role, saying:

“I think it's a real gem, and
I am a huge fan of adult animation.

I've always loved voiceover and animation, and I've slowly worked my way up into that side of the industry. It takes longer than you might think. It doesn't necessarily mean that you'll end up in these things just because you're on a bunch of TV shows, movies, or whatever.
Some people don't want to go there, but it's a real passion for me. I love doing it.
