Prolific video game voice actor Troy Baker has revealed he’s interested in taking on the role of Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil.
Speaking during an interview at Milan Games Week & Cartoomics, Baker revealed that he’s been speaking with Daredevil TV series actor Charlie Cox, and that he’s very much up for tackling the character in video game form, or at least directing it.
I’ve said this a lot, I am a huge Daredevil fan. What Charlie Cox did for the show was amazing, and I had the opportunity to talk to him about it, and I told him what his performance of Daredevil meant. I want to either A — play Matt Murdock in a game, or I want to direct the game.
That is what really intrigues me about making that game, and it would be a big challenge for me as an actor, to be able to play someone who was not sighted.
Troy Baker has been involved in some of the biggest video games from the past decade or so, including Resident Evil 6, BioShock, The Last of Us, inFAMOUS Second Son, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, The Last of Us Past 2, Death Stranding and more.
