Mega Man 11 actor won't return because Capcom won't use union actors

Veteran voice actor Ben Diskin, who provided the voice of Mega Man in the 2018 release Mega Man 11, says he will not be returning to the series because Capcom refuses to use unionized voice actors.

Diskin is not the original or only voice of Mega Man, but Mega Man 11 is both the most recent and best-selling entry in the series, which made him the presumptive choice for the upcoming Mega Man: Dual Override.

The next game is expected out in 2027, and Diskin’s withdrawal from the role has been described as a surprise.
