Rick and Morty is one of the most well-liked shows in recent times. Showcasing a fresh concept that is unlike anything seen before, the series features Rick, an alcoholic sociopath, and a brilliant scientist, and his socially anxious grandson, Morty, as we follow these two characters through bizarre adventures and worlds. The show has an extremely dedicated and passionate fanbase that loves discussing various theories and talking about potential plot lines.
The show has just released the trailer for their seventh season. This has caused some more discussion after some recent behind-the-scenes drama involving Justin Roiland, the voice actor of both Rick and Morty.
New Trailer Of Rick and Morty Reveals New Voice Actor
After Justin Roiland was charged with domestic abuse at the start of 2023, fans were devastated and he was fired from Rick and Morty. While it has not been revealed yet who is voicing these characters now, fans have been quite afraid that there will be a clear distinction.
While how the new voices sound has been kept under wraps until now, the trailer of the seventh season has finally revealed the sound of the two protagonists of the beloved series. With this, fans have become fixated on this, talking about how perfectly it matches with Roiland’s portrayal of the characters.
Fans React To The New Voices
As soon as the recent trailer of Rick and Morty hit the internet, fans were quick to go onto Twitter to express their opinions and feelings towards this. The majority of the fans were surprised at how the producers were able to find someone who matched Justin Roiland’s voice. They talked about how the only way one can tell that they are different people is if they are overly fixated on it. They also added that they are very curious to find out who is voicing them, even speculating that AI was being used.

The overall voice is pretty similar, although when it comes to screaming, you notice the difference easily.

Talking about the audible differences, however, some pointed out that they sound different only when either character is yelling out. Someone stated that, in their opinion, the character of Rick sounds younger than he did before. Some even stated that they believe that Rick and Morty’s sound has taken the same approach that Solar Opposites took, hiring Dan Stevens to voice the role.
