‘When you’re in possession of a substantial, potentially oversized jawline AND you’re contacted by DC films to voice a character in their new animated superhero movie, you’d be excused for thinking they’re getting some Superman vibes,’ he captioned the post.
‘But oh no. They knew the character I was born to play. So I’m delighted to be voicing the character of Mark…the Guinea Pig. But he’s not just any GP. His superpower? Fire.’
The movie had its theatrical release in the US on July 29, taking the top spot at the box office over the weekend with $23million in domestic earnings.
