He's obviously got the voice of a villain.

Interesting. I thought he had done this last year, I remember him mentioning it in an interview as if it had already happened. Anyway, I am sure his voice once again will be amazing.

I assume that the press release is talking about the live action parts--it doesn't say whether the voice work has been done already or is still to come.

Thank you so much for the link, REReader! It's an interesting piece of information, indeed! I cannot wait to see the film, and marvel at all those talents. And *faint* when Shere Khan speaks (I would say appear but as it's not said whether Ben also does the motion capture...), obviously.
