At SDCC 2022, game developer Player First announced the arrival of three brand-new characters for MultiVersus: NBA All-star LeBron James as well as Rick and Morty.
LeBron will be seen in action first at the start of the open beta period on July 26.
John Eric Bentley will be the voiceover for LeBron. There was no explanation as to why the NBA star won’t be voicing himself. However, Bentley is a veteran voiceover actor known for voicing Barrett in Final Fantasy VII Remake, Tyrone Henry in Resident Evil: Resistance, and many other roles for TV series, films, games and anime, since the mid-1970s, according to his IMDB profile (archive – 2022.07.22).
Rick and Morty will arrive later during Season 1.
