One fan commented on Instagram, asking Anthony Starr if he would be voicing the character, to which he got a direct reply: “Nope.“
Fans were disappointed with the news and wondered who would be replacing the actor’s voice that has become synonymous with the laser-beam shooting hero.
“My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined,” one fan complained.
“Not to be dramatic, but this is the most devastating one-word answer in human history,” another person agreed.
However, other fans still held out hope that Starr could still feature in Mortal Kombat 1, claiming that it’s possible that people have misinterpreted his one-word answer.
“People keep hounding him for answers on this I wouldn’t be surprised if he said no just to stop the questions.”
This sad news for fans came just after the news that DLC character Tremor, the earth-wielding ninja, will be released on November 16, confusing players as he arrives only a week after Omni-Man.
