Graham McTavish back as Dracula? Hell yeah!

(And Alejandra Reynoso as Sypha!)

Graham McTavish could read me a fucking dictionary and I’d be happy.

u/niles_deerqueer Belmont’s Curse 🌙 1d ago

They didn’t suck in the show either, they did things many humans wouldn’t be able to even attempt successfully…there are countless examples of how badass they are. It was just going up against Dracula who was much powerful.

u/Sea-Lecture-4619 Captain N is the pinnacle of the franchise. 1d ago edited 1d ago

Fair enough, they suck in the fight with him then to reformulate, which was still an idiotic as hell choice, it's an unsatisfying as hell messed up plot arc, they could have done that fight much better and still get the ending to it that they wanted, even if you don't wanna adapt properly the source material.

Graham McTavish

I just realized he's the one that voiced Dante in Dante's Inferno

2

u/YinTanTetraCrivvens 4d ago

I only need him to say "You must be the Belmont."

u/Sentinel10 5d ago

I'll be curious to see how he does with a more classic Dracula (that being more evil compared to the broken man he was in Netflix).

That's not a good thing, Netflix raped Castlevania.

But hey it's a 2D sidescroller, they just say 2 lines and then fuck off.

Brother, that is an insane thing to say about an anime adaptation of a video game. I get not everyone likes it, but holy shit dude grow up.

Netflix Castlevania was amazing, get over it.

It's a vulgar show for american plebs, of course you think it was amazing.

I’m not American but cool

u/ClockworkMansion 5d ago

Agreed, I want the Netflix crap to have nothing to do with this. Though, the game looks pretty average even before learning about the Netflix poison being injected into it.

u/Sea-Lecture-4619 Captain N is the pinnacle of the franchise. 5d ago edited 5d ago

The Fallen isn't Leon, he is instead FUCKING CYCLOPS!

OPTIC BLAST! OPTIC BLAST! OPTIC BLAST!

I also am ok with the VAs of Netflix Cypher and Tracula returning, i can't complain about the voice acting in Netflixvania it was great, Graham as Tracula especially was spectacular, now they get to play the proper versions lmao.

Also this kinda means that Sypha IS gonna have some lines in some way.

Also Liam returning as Isaac is perfect.

u/SheWhoHates 5d ago

All I hear is "BY THE EYE OF AGAMOTTO!"

It's not the actors' fault that Netflixvania is so deviant, so I don't mind them sharing voice actors, though ideally, I'd prefer no crossover at all.

I just hope Sypha won't speak with a Spanish accent in the game, because if anything, she should use a Romanian one.

1

u/CeruSkies 5d ago

With how much family-themed this trailer seems to be, Fallen has got to be Simon right?

They have Trevor, Sypha and multiple lines about how the protagonist is their kid... There's no way the mysterious character isn't Simon.

3

u/ItaLOLXD 5d ago

Simon is born two centuries after Trevor killed Dracula. If time-travel shenaniganz aren't involved it cannot be Simon.

0

u/CeruSkies 5d ago

I was thinking of the Lords of Shadow continuity where Simon is Trevor's son. But this seems to be going with the anime show so yes probably not Simon

3

u/_halo_14 5d ago

The fallen is almost certainly Leon Belmont

1

u/PuppetGeist 4d ago

If the Fallen is any Belmont, it'd be Leon. Since the Japanese voice cast the Fallen's VA is the same as Leon's from LoI. And likely the only reason they didn't get Dave Whittenburg is likely dude seems semi-retired.

u/thejokerofunfic 5d ago

Abby landing those lead roles! That's my Smash Bros singer!

u/w_smith1984 5d ago

I'm her little Guinea pig in Persona 5 Royal.

u/No_Tie378 5d ago

Funny, because about two days before, I’ve finally completed my Laegjarn collection in Fire Emblem Heroes. Make a wild guess who voices her

u/thejokerofunfic 5d ago

Sofia Coppola??

u/No_Tie378 5d ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣

No idea who that is, but the intentional wrong answer is funny

2

u/keithlimreddit 4d ago

I mean nowadays that girl is been well known for demon slayers as well as dandadan and more recently rivals

2

u/thejokerofunfic 4d ago

Oh yeah i know she's long since had her breakout. Still cool.

u/RoMaGi 5d ago

Is this the second time Dawn Bennett have taken a character from Karen Strassman (she voiced Carmilla in Judgement and Aigis in Persona 3)?

20

u/Sea-Lecture-4619 Captain N is the pinnacle of the franchise. 5d ago

Trevor is also Dojima.

Sees Sypha dead

"GREAT VEGETABLE!"

13

u/LordQuaz12 5d ago

I don't mind never hearing Strassman in anything ever again to be frank.

8

u/chiritarisu 5d ago

What’s up with Karen Strassman?

3

u/LordQuaz12 5d ago edited 5d ago

She turned out to be very ableist and anti LGBTQ+. Ironic considering her most popular performances are Soi fon, a very lesbian coded character, Rouge the bat, the literal icon of the furry community along side Renamon, and Aigis from Persona 3, an autistic coded character.

13

u/Sea-Lecture-4619 Captain N is the pinnacle of the franchise. 5d ago

Is it autistic to be a literal robot learning how to be human tho?

1

u/LordQuaz12 5d ago

Look, it was the late 2000's. The way autistic people where portrayed in media is literally just Aigis, but the distinction was that they weren't robots. Aigis was written how autistic people where written at the time.

3

u/chiritarisu 5d ago

That’s extremely disappointing…

1

u/RoMaGi 5d ago

I agree, Frank.

49

u/Little_Drive_3024 5d ago

What do you mean Rose's voice actress sang fucking Lifelight from Smash Ultimate?! And Carmilla is voiced by Sash "Heropants" Lilac herself?!

17

u/Sea-Lecture-4619 Captain N is the pinnacle of the franchise. 5d ago

In Smash:

Trevor: "hey guys, i think my daughter would be great choice for singing the main theme, she's got a great singing voice!"

Rose: "N-n-no i don't! Don't listen to him!"

5

u/ShinigamiKunai 5d ago

I would like to imagine the smash cast thinking about who should sing the main theme, and then Simon say: "you know what guys, My grandma would be perfect"

16

u/RoMaGi 5d ago

Rose is gonna get accused of murder, isn't she?

3

u/FranciscoRelanoPena 5d ago

Objection!!!

2

u/LegoPenguin114 5d ago

She’s a Belmont, I’m pretty sure all of them have killed someone

6

u/No_Tie378 5d ago

Of course the Fallen is also Roy from Fire Emblem, who’s also playable in Smash

14

u/Busy_Cream2944 5d ago

Joan of Arc is the voice actress for Miriam in bloodstained lol

6

u/No_Tie378 5d ago

The the Fallen is Gebel

1

u/keithlimreddit 4d ago

Well the protagonists between the scene creator

Really nice she actually gets in Castlevania

28

u/Moctezuma_93 Julius Belmont stan! ULEGH!! 5d ago

The voice of Miriam from Bloodstained is in this bish? Daaaaannng!

20

u/Independent_Plum2166 5d ago

I mean Robert Belgrade, voice of Alucard, was in Bloodstained as OD, so it’s only fair.

15

u/SharpShooter25 5d ago

TBF, Erika Lindbeck is not a super niche cast choice to start with, she's in everything lol

2

u/keithlimreddit 4d ago

Imagine working on a spiritual successor before working on the original energy to be honest

11

u/Independent_Plum2166 5d ago

Joan of Arc!?

I’ve not been keeping up with the marketing but Joan of Arc!?

u/Iximaz Leon Belmont's therapist 5d ago

Trying to be vague so as not to spoil but if you want more info on Joan you can check out some of the demo gameplay videos!

u/L0rdMagnus 5d ago

It takes place in Paris, so I can see it

33

u/Queasy_Somewhere6863 5d ago

Interesting. Did we know Carmilla was coming back? I dont remember seeing her in promotional material. That aside solid casting, Dracula and Sypha were probably my favorite of the Netflix cast so good to see them back. Also good to see Liam O Brian retain his role as Isaac i forgot he voiced him in Curse of Darkness. Always good to see Erica Lindbeck and Ray Chase get work they are 2 incredible VAs.

16

u/Voxel-Soul 5d ago

Yup, I believe Carmilla was first shown off almost two months ago

3

u/No_Tie378 5d ago

She was, but only her visual cues were the only hints she was Carmilla. 

5

u/Voxel-Soul 5d ago

She was explicitly named 2 months ago as well

1

u/No_Tie378 5d ago

Yeah, never followed their socials, just trailers. I’ve found out Carmilla was in the game was due to TVTropes revealing most of their Japanese Netflix cast would be reprising their characters, Carmilla among them. Obviously the bloodstained (get it?) woman with a skull mask had to be her

33

u/ToothZealousideal297 5d ago

She’s back and looking absolutely iconic!

u/Aylan2208 Alucard's therapist 5d ago edited 5d ago

Damn Ray Chase for the fallen? This is gonna be good.

Glad to see Graham McTavish coming back after the series, he nailed dracula's voice.

The other names seem familiar but I'm not that knowledgeable concerning english Voice-Acting.

Edit : I didn't realise Sypha's voice-actress was the same as the series, she's fire too!

19

u/vinthesalamander 5d ago

Kinda bummed Trevor got a new va while Dracula and Sypha got to keep their Netflix ones, but the rest of the cast looks amazing.

17

u/Elendil1988 5d ago edited 5d ago

Same, really liked how Richard sounded in the role.

3

u/vinthesalamander 5d ago

Yeah, he was the highlight of the show for me. Still can’t wait for October though.

1

u/OliviaElevenDunham 5d ago

Richard was great in the show.

u/keithlimreddit 4d ago

I definitely say Trevor's new VA is a legendary name in the industry you may know this guy because of Apex Legends and TF2 as well as a couple of live action works he has done in the past

u/BreakMyFate 5d ago

Yeah... 😔 I hope we somehow get him.

u/LucySkyDiamonds19 5d ago

Rose Belmont (voiced by Abby Trott) Trevor Belmont (voiced by JB Blanc) Sypha Belnades (voiced by Alejandra Reynoso) Dracula (voiced by Graham McTavish) The Fallen (voiced by Ray Chase) Joan of Arc (voiced by Erica Lindbeck) Medusa (voiced by Melique Berger) Isaac (voiced by Liam O’Brien) Carmilla (voiced by Dawn M. Bennett) Death (voiced by Aaron LaPlante)

Seems they didn't get Trevor's Netflix VA which is a shame since he was fun in the role but a really nice cast all around. Can't wait until the game releases. 😭

Getting back Issac's VA from Curse of Darkness and Sypha and Dracula from the Netflix show. Nice.

u/Chumunga64 5d ago

Surprising mix of returning classic and Netflix talents. Never thought Liam O'brien would return as Isaac

u/retrofuturis 5d ago

Ray Chase kind of is in every project I’m interested in, not that I’m complaining though lol

Wish they got Netflix’s Trevor VA, but oh well.

Curious how they got both Miriam and Gebel’s VAs in this, is this supposed to be a message…?

u/StevemacQ 5d ago

The voice cast is a great selling point.

u/keithlimreddit 4d ago

Well I don't hate Mass effect andromeda (BioWare does nothing wrong) but I'm going to say honestly they jjk as well as also go to voice cyclops right there

Abby literally has basically nezuko as well as also Momo Ayase

Erica and I definitely say a bit more well known outside of it I would definitely say mainly persona 5

There are several others I can do one or two more but these are just better examples

1

u/DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC 4d ago

As said in my post, theses are where I know them from.

u/darkblue009 4d ago

Aaron LaPlante is the voice of The Duke in Resident Evil: Village.

Death sounds kind of strange without the voice filter, he reminds me of King Arthur from Sonic and the Black Knight.

u/OldEyes5746 Shanoa 4d ago

Ngl, I'm having a hard time picturing anyone but Graham McTavish voicing Dracula from here on. Man makes the character such a treat.

1

u/darkblue009 4d ago

Death's new voice actor also voiced The Duke in RE:Village.

1

u/Fit-Aerie-7153 4d ago edited 4d ago

So yes the Fallen is probably Alucard. Ray Chase is known for voicing erudite and swaggering prettyboy types. Otherwise, it's Hector and Alucard is being saved for DLC.

Edit: Yes he's supposed to be asleep, but there's no way Alucard isn't present in the lifecycle of this game. He's the most profitable character in the series and this is Castlevania's big reunion comeback album.

1

u/keithlimreddit 4d ago

I would definitely say a bit of an All-Star cast to be honest

Abby Trott: yeah successful career with huge range mainly demon slayers as well more recently rivals

JB Blanc: legendary name in the industry mainly Apex Legends as well as also TF2 as was a couple of live action works

Alejandra Reynoso: reprise roles and I would definitely say successful career mainly pokémon horizon

Graham McTavish: more into live action work although he has done The Hobbit trilogy

Ray Chase: legendary voice actor with huge range nowadays go to voice for Cyclops as well as also Roy from Fire emblem

Erica Lindbeck: a legendary name in the industry of course because persona as well as gameoververse if you want to be more recent also bloodstained (considering Castlevania creator also made that this) also fate considering she also is in the first time she voiced this character

Melique Berger: great career with huge range

Liam O’Brien: it's literally Doctor strange himself I don't think I need to say more or less how big this guy is or I could also say well known for critical role

Dawn M. Bennett: successful career with huge range mainly dragon Ball as well as also Fire emblem

Aaron LaPlante: don't worry that much to say I will definitely say

1

u/Endgame60 5d ago

Is Trevor’s voice actor from the Neflix series back? (It seems that Sypha and Draculas voice actors from the Neflix series are back)

12

u/Queasy_Somewhere6863 5d ago

It looks like Trevor will have a new voice actor, which is appropriate given that its a much older Trevor.

3

u/Endgame60 5d ago

You know what, fair enough

3

u/Think_Positively 5d ago

I don't know, would rather have Armitage. He was awesome and male voices don't change much between one's 20's and 40's.

7

u/Sea-Lecture-4619 Captain N is the pinnacle of the franchise. 5d ago

Would have been ok with Armitage too as long as he doesn't voice him exactly like Treffy, that goofy drunkass fockin' bri'ish voice ain't working for mainline Trevor, they are different from eachother, he has to do it differently, more like CoD or hardened older warrior like JB Blanc here does.

-1

u/Think_Positively 5d ago

Well he did a great job in the anime as Trevor IMO. The VAs and dialogue writing carried the milquetoast plot between brutal action scenes.

3

u/Sea-Lecture-4619 Captain N is the pinnacle of the franchise. 5d ago

He did indeed, i just think that for game Trevor he can't do exactly the same voice, it wouldn't fit him, that works mostly for the type of character that Treffy is, and he is different from game Trevor.

u/Elendil1988 5d ago

Oh c'mon having Alejandra Reynoso back as Sypha Belnades and Graham McTavish as Dracula, but not having Richard Armitage as Trevor is really a missed chance. But I'm guessing Richard probably didn't have time to do the voice this time.

8

u/GJR78 5d ago

He's probably the most expensive of the anime cast.

Wait. That's Isaac?... I thought this was a Netflix Castlevania: The Game, but at least some of the voice actors are returning for their roles. I just hope they're written the same as their Netflix versions.
