Actor Charlie Cox, known for the likes of Daredevil and Stardust, is set to star in another video game following the success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Cox lent his vocal talents to the character of Gustave, while the motion capture was performed by actor Maxence Cazorla. In total, Cox said he probably took around four hours to record his lines for the Clair Obscur role, but it sounds like his next foray into the video game world will take a bit longer to complete.
Speaking with Agents of Fandom, Cox reflected on his time working on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, stating he is “blown away” by its far reaching success. He then shared this little nugget: “It has seemingly opened a new avenue for my professional work, I’m going to do another game this year.”
Cox stopped short of revealing which game he is going to be part of next, but he did say he will be “much more involved” with this one, and it will require “more work” from him. While he didn’t go into specifics here, I have taken this to mean Cox will be doing both the voice and motion capture acting for whichever character he ends up portraying. We shall find out soon enough, I am sure.
In the same conversation, Cox added he was pleasantly surprised by the level of passion found within video game communities. “It’s something I haven’t known much about, and honestly didn’t realise quite how passionate the fans were; they are as passionate as the Marvel fans are,” he said. “That’s been really, really cool.”
Always the gentleman, Cox closed with a “special shout out” to Maxence Cazorla.
Back in December, I spoke with Cazorla about the process of bringing Clair Obscur’s Gustave to life alongside Cox, and how the industry should recognise the artists that help create characters in video games. As a reminder, Cox was nominated for the Best Performer award at the 2025 Game Awards, while Cazorla was not.
“Video games are, by nature, a collaborative art form, and characters resonate because many artists give them their soul,” Cazorla told me last year. “Celebrating a Best Character category feels more logical to me than isolating a single performer and potentially leaving others invisible.”
