Clancy Brown

If Mephisto doesn’t actually appear in a live-action form without some CGI, he would need to be voiced by an actor with a great voice. Clancy Brown could very well be the person to make that happen by voicing him as a CGI character.

Brown has voiced some of our favorite characters over the years, including Lex Luthor in Superman: The Animated Series, Mr. Freeze in The Batman, Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob SquarePants and Surter in Thor: Ragnarok.

It may seem weird to have him play two roles in the MCU, but with a voice actor, it may not be that serious of an issue – especially when this is the man who’s voiced Hades in God of War 3.

Some people may recognize the voice, but it won’t matter. He’d be so well-received that fans will embrace it.

Keith David

Keith David is a legend. This writer’s first experience with him was Frank in They Live. No matter how iconic he was in that, it’s not that role that makes him a perfect pick, it’s his voice acting – in particular Dr. Facilier in Princess and the Frog and Spawn in Spawn.

As Dr. Facilier, he was an immoral witch doctor with a smooth tongue. As Spawn, he had this low voice that seemed foul and unholy. Someone with his kind of range as a voice actor could do anything that’s required of him, so it goes without saying that he’d be a great addition to the MCU.
