Well, if you weren’t already convinced, the new Mario and Luigi actor Kevin Afghani has now confirmed he’s also the voice of Wario. In a brief update on social media, he did a little bit of Wario roleplay while mentioning how he was “going back to play the game” he’s in, WarioWare: Move It! on Switch.
This quick update follows a glimpse of the credits in the new WarioWare earlier this week, which places Afghani at the very top of the “voice” page. As you can see, it’s already got some Nintendo fans on social media speculating if he’ll be handling the voice of Waluigi as well (it seems highly likely at this point).
Afghani officially replaces Charles Martinet as Wario, who was confirmed to be stepping down from the role earlier this year to take up the position of Mario ambassador. Martinet was also the voice of several other Mario characters during his career including Waluigi and the baby versions of the cast.
Before Mario and Wario, one of Afghani’s most famous roles was Arnold in Genshin Impact, an event-exclusive NPC. And while he’s appeared in both the new WarioWare and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Nintendo has already confirmed the re-release of Luigi’s Mansion 2 will include Charles Martinet when it arrives in 2024.
