The new season of the animated series “The Legend of Vox Machina” will be able to count a well-known voice among the cast. The identity is announced by Critical Role in the most authentic way possible.
Who will be part of the cast? In the fourth season, Andy Serkis will lend his voice to a character in The Legend of Vox Machina. He is known for various roles, but one of his most iconic is definitely Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.
This news was announced by the team behind the series in a video, in the “most Critical Role” way you can imagine.
Running gag makes the announcement perfect
How was this news announced? To reveal what the special announcement consists of, Sam Riegel (Scanlan from Vox Machina) uses an old running gag that many fans of the group are already familiar with: He takes off his top to reveal a T-shirt with a face on it, namely that of Andy Serkis.
For many years, it has become Riegel’s ongoing joke to surprise his friends during the live streams of their campaigns with their own face printed on his T-shirt. Especially with the best facial expressions, it goes without saying (this video on YouTube shows just how much this joke has evolved).
How are fans reacting to this announcement? Fans of Critical Role hope that the voice of such an iconic actor will receive a special role worthy of him. As can be inferred from the reactions on Reddit, most people immediately think of the same thing: He is very likely to be the BBEG (Big Bad Evil Guy) from Season 4.
“Such a great actor must surely be designated for [BBEG-SPOILER], right?” wonders Perforo_RS, “I can’t imagine who else could be worthy of this honor.”
The only other option is found by SunkenSunking: “Either he is [BBEG-SPOILER] or just some random duck by the roadside – there is nothing in between.”
The fourth season of The Legend of Vox Machina is set to premiere after a long wait on June 3, 2026, on Amazon Prime. And what awaits them is said to be even more intense than anything they have known before: The heroes of Critical Role will face dangers starting next week that they may not survive
