Mega Man Voice Actor Won't Return For Sequel Because Capcom Won't Go Union
Voice actor Ben Diskin will not return as Mega Man in Mega Man: Dual Override due to Capcom's refusal to use a union contract with SAG-AFTRA protections. Diskin cited concerns over AI voice usage and the lack of union backing. SAG-AFTRA has issued a "Do Not Work" order against the game, which is slated for a 2027 release on multiple platforms.
