Mortal Kombat 1 Director Ed Boon Reveals a Star Studded Cast for the Voice of Iconic Omni-Man and Peacemaker but Remains Silent on Homelander’s Voice Actor

NetherRealm Studio’s Mortal Kombat is a renowned franchise in the gaming industry. After many popular titles for fans, this franchise is back to deliver another blockbuster, Mortal Kombat 1. This twelfth installment in the main Mortal Kombat series will launch on the 19th of September. However, way before its release, Mortal Kombat 1 stole its fans’ hearts with iconic pop culture features, intense gameplay, and a hundred times more notoriety than its predecessors. 

While we are extremely excited about Mortal Kombat 1’s launch, creative director Ed Boon’s latest information took us over the moon. Now with these new details being revealed, we can’t keep calm but count days for Mortal Kombat 1’s release. 

Ed Boon revealed some great details about Mortal Kombat 1

The upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 revealed a series of heroes making their appearance as the guest in the game. It included some of the iconic characters from pop culture like DC Universe’s Peacemaker, Homelander from The Boys, and Omni-Man from Invincible. Now the creative director of NetherRealm Studios confirmed that iconic wrestler John Cena would give voice to DC’s Peacemaker. Not only that, but we also heard JK Simmons will play the role of voice actor for Omni-Man. If you think that the list ends here, then you are wrong. Boon also announced Antony Starr featuring as the voice of Homelander from The Boys. Crazy right? 

Ed Boon was spotted making this announcement while the second-day live stream of Gamescom 2023 happened. Boon also said- “We had J.K. Simmons coming in, we had John Cena. We’re super fortunate… that they know what Mortal Kombat is and they come in and it just adds that additional layer of authenticity to get the voice actor in there,” Although we are crazy excited hearing the casts of the voice actors, we also spotted that Boon didn’t mention Antony Starr in the conversation. However, this doesn’t hint that Starr won’t feature in Mortal Kombat 1.
