Hulu has announced its replacement for Justin Roiland’s character in the animated show Solar Opposites, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Dan Stevens (Legion, Downton Abbey) will take over as the voice Korvo, a member of the group of aliens from the planet Shlorp now stranded and having to make a life on Earth. Roiland was fired from the role earlier this year when allegations of domestic violence surfaced. THR notes that Stevens also voices a character on the animated comedy Central Park, which is also from 20th Television Animation.
In addition to Solar Opposites, which Roiland co-created with fellow Rick and Morty alum Mike McMahan, he was also fired from his roles as the titular characters of Rick and Morty on the hit Adult Swim show, and resigned from his post at Squanch Games following the release of High On Life. Charges against Roiland were later dismissed by the Orange County District Attorney due to insufficient evidence.
Solar Opposites Season 4, featuring Stevens in his new role, will premiere on Hulu on August 14, and was renewed for Season 5 last fall, meaning we’ll have at least two seasons with Stevens in the recording booth.
