Voice actors who may take over existing parts in future Kingdom Hearts games
by Timie-Lemmens | created - 04 Oct 2017 | updated - 09 Feb 2018 | PublicKingdom Hearts III is on its way and with this game have to tie up lots of stories, it means that there might be a whole lot of characters returning in this game. However, since their last appearances, Disney might have changed the current voice actor. So here is a list of new voice actors who I believe might be voicing exisiting parts in future Kingdom Hearts games.
1. Jim Cummings
Actor | Winnie the Pooh
Born James Jonah Cummings on November 3, 1952, he grew up in Youngstown, Ohio.
Sooner or later, he moved to New Orleans. There, he designed Mardi Gras floats, was a singer, door-to-door salesman, and a Louisiana riverboat deckhand.
Then Cummings moved to Anaheim, California, where he started his ...
King Triton (Triton was originally voice by Kenneth Mars in the games, but the actor passed away and in 2008 Jim Cummings took over the role) / Scar (Jim Cummings voiced Scar's singing voice in "The Lion King" and did the speaking voice for a cameo in "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride". Currently, David Oyelowo does the voice for the "Lion Guard" series, however, if Scar returns it could also be possible that they might ask Cummings to reprise the role, considering he'll probably already did other voices for the game)
2. Hynden Walch
Actress | Adventure Time
Hynden Walch was born on February 1, 1971 in Davenport, Iowa. She is an actress and writer known primarily for her work in Adventure Time, Teen Titans, Groundhog Day, and Batman Assault on Arkham. She started her professional acting career on stage at age 11. At 16 she attended the North Carolina ...
Wendy Darling (In the original Kingdom Hearts game, Wendy was voiced by her original actress Kathryn Beaumont, who also voiced Alice, however, the role of Alice went to Hynden Walch for 2.5 HD Remix. With Wendy and Alice sounding the same, I'm suspecting that, if Wendy returns, Walch might also be asked to voice this character)
3. Andrea Bowen
Actress | Desperate Housewives
Andrea Lauren Bowen began acting at age 6 as "Young Cosette" in the Broadway production of "Les Miserables." She went on to star in the original Broadway casts of "Jane Eyre" (Adele) and "The Sound of Music" (Marta). Other New York stage credits include the role of "Young Dorothy" in a Lincoln ...
Aerith (Since 2008 Andrea Bowen has been voicing Final Fantasy character Aerith in the Final Fantasy games. So, if this character were to return in Kingdom Hearts, it is probably quite likely that Square Enix will probably ask Bowen to reprise the role)
4. James Arnold Taylor
Actor | Star Wars: The Clone Wars
James Arnold Taylor's versatile vocal range has given him success in every facet of the voice-over industry. His voice is heard all over the world daily and you would never know it's just one person. His list of credits range from leading roles in major summer blockbuster films, starring roles in ...
Tidus (In the latest Final Fantasy games, the character of Tidus is voiced by James Arnold Taylor, so chances are quite likely that he might be asked to reprise the role for future Kingdom Hearts games)
5. John DiMaggio
Actor | Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
John DiMaggio is an American actor, voice actor, comedian, and producer from Plainfield, New Jersey. He is best known for voicing Bender on Futurama, Jake the Dog on Adventure Time, King Zøg on Disenchantment, The Joker from Batman: Under the Red Hood and Jerry Jumbeaux Jr from Zootopia. He can ...
Wakka (John DiMaggio voices Wakka in the Final Fantasy series, so if Kingdom Hearts wants to use the original voices for future games, it is likely that they will ask DiMaggio to reprise the role)
6. Julie Nathanson
Actress | Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Julie Nathanson is an actress and writer, known for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (2020), Bayonetta 3 (2022) and Batman: The Long Halloween (2021). She is married to David Holcomb. They have one child.
Belle (Since 2011 the original voice actress for Belle, Paige O'Hara, has been replaced by another actress, so if Belle returns is possible that they might bring Nathanson in for the voice, rather than O'Hara)
7. Jared Butler
Actor | Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Jared Butler is known for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007), Blood Money (2017) and Pirates of the Caribbean Online (2007).
Captain Jack Sparrow (For the recent Disney Infinity games, actor Jared Butler took over for all the Johnny Depp characters, so chances are quite likely that, if Jack returns, Jared Butler might take on the role)
8. Rob Lowe
Actor | St. Elmo's Fire
Rob Lowe was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, to Barbara Lynn (Hepler), a schoolteacher, and Charles Davis Lowe, a lawyer. His brother is actor Chad Lowe. He has German, as well as English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh ancestry. Lowe's family moved to Dayton, Ohio, when he was a child. Rob broke ...
Simba (For the new "Lion Guard" series, Disney re-cast the part of Simba and gave it to actor Row Lowe. So if they want to bring the character back and want to keep the voices 'current' then it is likely that they might ask Rob Lowe to reprise the role)
9. Gabrielle Union
Actress | Bring It On
Gabrielle Union was born on October 29, 1972, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Theresa (Glass), who managed a phone company, and Sylvester E. Union, a military sergeant and business executive. When she was eight, her family moved to Pleasanton, California, where she grew up and attended high school. There, ...
Nala (For the new "Lion Guard" series, Disney re-cast the part of Nala and gave it to actress Gabrielle Union. So if they want to bring the character back and want to keep the voices 'current' then it is likely that they might ask Gabrielle Union to reprise the role)
10. Kevin Schon
Actor | The Lion Guard
Kevin Schon was born on February 7, 1958 in San Diego County, California, USA. He is an actor and producer, known for The Lion Guard (2015), Jack and the Beanstalk (2009) and Skylanders: Trap Team (2014). He was previously married to Suzanne Dudley Schon.
Timon (Kevin is currently voicing Timon in the new "Lion Guard" series, so it is quite likely that, if Timon returns in the game, they might ask Schon to voice the part)
11. Quinton Flynn
Actor | Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Quinton Joseph Flynn is an American voice actor and comedian known for voicing Raiden in Metal Gear Solid, Sheldon Lee in My Life as a Teenage Robot, Axel and Lea in Kingdom Hearts, Max Courage in Evil Con Carne, Marcus Damon in Digimon Data Squad and Silver the Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog.
Timon (Or if Timon has only one or two lines in the game, then they could use Axel's voice actor Quinton Flynn to voice the part, which he did before on the "Timon & Pumbaa" television series)
12. Khary Payton
Actor | The Walking Dead
Khary Payton (born May 16, 1972) is an American actor and voice actor best known for his voice role of the DC Comics character Cyborg across various films, cartoons and video games. He is also known for his live action performances on General Hospital and The Walking Dead.
In 1986, Payton was a ...
Rafiki (For the new "Lion Guard" series, Disney re-cast the part of Rafiki and gave it to actor Khary Payton. So if they want to bring the character back and want to keep the voices 'current' then it is likely that they might ask Payton to reprise the role. This option seems even more likely since the passing of Rafiki's original voice actor Robert Guillaume.)
13. David Oyelowo
Actor | Lawmen: Bass Reeves
David Oyelowo also known as 'David O', is a classically trained stage actor who has quickly become one of Hollywood's most sought-after talents. He graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), and received the "Scholarship for Excellence" from Nicholas Hytner in 1998.
David ...
Scar (For the new "Lion Guard" series, Disney re-cast the part of Scar and gave it to actor David Oyelowo. So if they want to bring the character back and want to keep the voices 'current' then it is likely that they might ask David Oyelowo to reprise the role)
14. Tom Kenny
Actor | SpongeBob SquarePants
Tom Kenny grew up in East Syracuse, New York. When Tom was young he was into comic books, drawing funny pictures and collecting records. Tom turned to stand-up comedy in Boston and San Francisco. This led to appearances on every cable show spawned by the stand-up epidemic of the '80s and '90s as ...
Rabbit (In 2011 Tom Kenny voiced the character of Rabbit after the previous voice actor Ken Sansom passed away. So, if Rabbit returns in the Kingdom Hearts series with a speaking role, it is likely that the creators might ask Kenny to voice the part)
15. Craig Ferguson
Writer | I'll Be There
By August of 1994, Craig Ferguson was established as one of Great Britain's leading comedians - he had just had huge success at the Edinburgh Festival. In January 1995 he moved to Los Angeles where he now works as an actor-writer-director-producer-creator.
Owl (In 2011 Craig Ferguson took over the role of Owl from actor Andrea Stojka for a new Winnie the Pooh movie. If Disney is intent on keeping their character voices 'current', then it is likely that they might ask Ferguson to reprise the role)
16. Peter Cullen
Actor | Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Peter Cullen is a Canadian-American voice actor who is widely known for voicing Optimus Prime in the Transformers franchise as well as the Michael Bay film series. He is also known for providing the vocal effects of the Predator from the 1987 film of the same name, Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, ...
Eeyore (In previous games actor Gregg Berger took on the part of Eeyore, however, I think it would be nice if Peter Cullen, who has voiced the character in various series and movies, would get a chance to voice the character in these games)
17. Kath Soucie
Actress | Rugrats
Katherine Elaine Soucie is an American voice actress, born in New York City, New York, USA. One of the most well known voice-over actors working today, Kath Soucie began her career in New York as a theatrical actress.

Vivi Ornitier (Kath Soucie is the most current voice for the character of Vivi in the Final Fantasy series, so if Square Enix wants to keep the voices 'current' it is likely they might ask Soucie to reprise the role) / Perdita (Perdita made a non-speaking appearance in the first KH game, but it is possible that she might be given a speaking role in a future game)
18. John Kassir

Scrooge McDuck (David Tennant voices the rich duck for the new reboot of DuckTales. Considering that the original voice, Alan Young, passed away it is possible that the creators of the game might approach Tennant to voice the part in future Kingdom Hearts games)

Timeless River Mickey (Chris Diamantopoulus has been voicing Mickey in a range of funny short cartoons. Personally, I think his voice would fit very good for Timeless River version of Mickey who didn't speak in KH II, but maybe he might be given a speaking role in the future)
