MK1’s Homelander voice actor has finally been confirmed by developers, but it isn’t who players were expecting.
To the community’s dismay, the question remained unanswered ahead of Homelander’s MK debut on June 4. Whoever had stepped up in Starr’s stead managed to impress nonetheless, nailing the actor’s cadence so well thatsome fans wondered if the casting details mattered.
Eventually,IMDbattributed the role to veteran voiceover artist Chris Cox. As of writing, the actor’s page still claims as much but the truth has since surfaced, courtesy of information shared by a NetherRealm Studios developer.
Story and Voiceover DirectorDominic Cianciolostated in a Twitter/X post that Jake Green assumed the role of Homelander for MK1. Green confirmed the news in a post of his own some hours later, saying he was “Supe proud” to have joined the project.

Jake Green has lent his voice talents to dozens of animation shows and video games in the past. In the last year alone, he’s voiced roles in everything from Redfall and Starfield to My Adventures with Superman and Persona 3 Reload.
The long-awaited news about MK1’s Homelander voice actor surfaced just as the character became available to purchase for all players on June 11.
