Koichi Yamadera (Spike Spiegel, Cowboy Bebop) will dub Idris Elba’s Macavity, the criminal mastermind attempting to eliminate the competition on the night of the Jellicle Ball.
But the big-screen take on the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical is hoping for a new life in Japanese cinemas, complete with an all-star cast of anime voice actors and musical stars handling dubbing duties.
The cast overall sounds excited to be taking part, with Yamadera noting that Macavity’s role is significantly larger than it was in the musical.
