With just a bit over a month left till the series debuts on Amazon’s Prime Video, there’s nonetheless an entire lot we do not find out about Critical Role’s marketing campaign 2 adaptation, The Mighty Nein. However I imply – what do you anticipate from these famously tight-lipped Critical Rolers? The cast is normally so very averse to revealing issues forward of their precise debut on display (or at the desk, both manner). So simply think about my shock after they revealed model new voice cast members at New York Comedian Con 2025.
It is a record of names you may completely acknowledge (hell, one in every of them is an precise Oscar-winner), however the cast member that was in all probability the spotlight of the Critical Role panel at the Javits Middle this 12 months was in all probability Lucy Liu – mainly as a result of, in a uncommon second of transparency, the assembled crew of Sam Riegel, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe , Matthew Mercer, Ashley Johnson, and Travis Willingham really revealed who Liu might be enjoying: that’s, Empress Leylas Kryn, AKA The Bright Queen.
However earlier than we go into her character, let’s have a look at the remainder of the revealed cast, we could? IN no explicit order, right here is the full record of Mighty Nein cast members unveiled at this 12 months’s NYCC.
- Anjelica Huston
- Lucy Liu
- Nathan Fillion
- T’Nia Miller
- Felicia Day
- Graham McTavish
- Ivanna Sakhno
Wild, proper? I imply, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day again collectively? It is beginning to really feel very “The Hammer Is My Penis” in right here. However since we promised to speak about the one precise character who was named on this record, let me offer you a fast TL;DR on The Bright Queen.
The most up-to-date particular person to wield imperial energy in the Kryn Dynasty, Leylas is a strong Drow warrior who is claimed to be over a millenia outdated. Certain to the deity referred to as The Luxon. With out explaining an excessive amount of right here (I suppose I am not a lot for spoilers both, Critters), Leylas performs an essential position in the cloak-and-dagger quests of The Mighty Nein, and even made it into the liveplay series’s third marketing campaign, Bells Hells.
Not that it has been precisely greenlit but, but when Prime Video does finally get round to adapting that third marketing campaign, maybe we’ll see Liu reprise the position. Both manner, Lucy, prepare – as in the event you werent’ already fairly beloved, you have now acquired the largest D&D liveplay fandom in the world in your nook.
The Mighty Nein season 1 will debut on Prime Video on November 19.
