Guillermo del Toro recently gave an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. In the interview, he shared his future plans. “There are a couple more live-action movies I want to do but not many. After that, I only want to do animation. That’s the plan,” del Toro said. And he can count on Spider-Man 2’s voice actor anytime to be in the animated movie he is going to make, who tweeted “Let’s do this” in response to del Toro’s interest in making animated films.
Judging from the spectacular performance Yuri Lowenthal is giving in the PS5 exclusive, it can be speculated he may get a role too. He is now voicing not one but two Spider-Mans in different titles. He first got famous by working in Marvel’s Spider-Man but also reprised his role in Marvel’s Midnight Suns. However, both roles were separate story-wise, which gave his space to showcase his voice-acting prowess in both unrelated titles.
