Charlie Cox says Gustavo's Motion Capture actor should get credit for the role
While Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is nominated in 10 different categories at The Game Awards, including Game of the Year and Best Narrative, Cox shared his thoughts on the recognition for his work as Gustave. During an event in Mexico in late November, Cox stated that while he was thrilled to receive recognition for his voice acting work, any awards he may still receive for voicing Gustavo should go to Gustavo's motion capture actors instead. Cox said Gustavo's motion capture actor was a French actor named Maxence Cazorla. Cox said, “I believe the performance of the character is really up to him, and my voice was just part of the process.”
Cox added that Cazorla was responsible for nearly all of Gustavo's motion capture Expedition 33. Cox's thoughts come months after he said he needed to pick up a games console to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. He previously said that one of the last video games he remembered playing was Super Mario 64and that graphics have come a long way since then.
Fortunately, fans of Cox's acting will not have to wait long for his next projects. Cox will reprise his role as Daredevil in season two Daredevil: Born Againwhich premieres March 4, 2026 on the Disney+ streaming service.
