Arcane is one of the best adaptations of a video game we’ve ever seen. Part of that success came from the fantastic group of actors that were hired on. They all come from such different backgrounds, too. Hailee Steinfeld, known for Hawkeye and her amazing singing voice combed through Reddit forums to learn more about her character Vi. She and Ella never once worked together. Ella Purnell, who voiced Jinx had never done voice acting before and put on an accent for the role and also refused to look at anything online. Katie Leung, probably best known for her portrayal of Cho Chang in the Harry Potter Series also had to do an accent. The hype of the IP stopped her from looking online too much. Mia Sinclaire Jenness who played the young Powder gave a performance that brought people to tears. Mick Wingert’s dynamic performance is what landed him the role of Heimerdinger because they were super hesitant to even include the character in the show. Kevin Alejandro, known for his role in Lucifer, took the role of Jayce seriously thanks to his thirteen year old son. Harry Lloyd, known for playing Daenerys Targaryen’s cruel brother in Game of Thrones, loved the reverse process he got to do for his character Viktor. JB BLanc came straight from the League of Legends video game as he voiced Braum but for the show he voiced Vander. Silco doesn’t exist in the video game so Jason Spisak enjoyed the mysterious element to his character. Creators Alex Yee and Christian Linke not only encouraged improv but also wanted the actors to add their own special touch to their characters. And of course, Imagine Dragons and J.I.D. blew our minds with that song Enemy. All that and more in the video!
