On Friday, Afghani announced the news on X , saying, “Incredibly proud to have voiced Mario and Luigi in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Thanks to Nintendo for inviting me into the Flower Kingdom!” Nintendo confirmed the news in an email, saying simply, “The voice actor’s name is Kevin Afghani.

Earlier this week, VGC reported that a demo version of the game had been datamined revealing the voice talent in the game. Though the list is arranged in alphabetical order by last name, Afghani is, coincidentally, at the top of the list.
