The ‘Ratchet And Clank’ Movie Gets Some Big Name Voice Talent!

Sony’s full fledged Ratchet and Clank movie is getting the full Hollywood treatment, thanks in part to some surprising voice talent announcements, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter!

In addition to the returning Arnold Taylor and David Kay as the titular duo, and Armin Shimerman reprising Dr. Nefarious, they’re joined by Sylvester Stallone, Paul Giamatti, Rosario Dawson and John Goodman in yet to be announced roles! It’s clear that those behind the film see this as more than just a “video game movie,” so fans of the franchise can relax a bit knowing that this film, (along with the upcoming Sly Cooper adaptation,) seems to be in good hands.

The question remains though, who will they play? Considering this film and its accompanying game will be a retelling/reboot of the original, we have a few ideas about which characters are likely to pop up, (such as the dreaded Chairman Drek,) but I worry a bit since Captain Quark’s actor wasn’t mentioned in the story. I could see someone like Sly hamming up a performance for him, but considering how iconic he is to the game, I just REALLY want the origianl voice for the bumbling superhero.

Still, with the already announced appearance of Nefarious, it’s clear that this retelling won’t shy away from taking liberties with the original game, creating the possibility of new characters being introduced to flesh out the film. Which characters would you match up with the voice cast?

Keep an eye out for Ratchet and Clank when the movie and game both drop in 2016.
