Turns out, even seasoned voice actors aren’t sold on the idea and that includes The Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans, and Loki star Tara Strong who recently aired her grievances on social media.Taking to Twitter, the Miss Minutes actress blasted Hollywood’s treatment of voice actors, saying that they are undervalued despite their contributions. In a previous tweet, Strong chimed in on the whole Mario casting backlash and said that Martinet should have been cast for the role and not her MCU co-star Chris Pratt.She wrote: “Voice actors- I’m gonna put my heart & soul in this for at least 20 years, help sell billions in merch, make the studios millions of dollars & make generations around the world happy. Hollywood- We don’t care.”
