American film studio company, Summit Entertainment, recently announced two Hollywood A-list stars to feature in Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy as a voice cast at the comic book convention in the USA. The details of their roles are unknown at this stage. But as time progresses we will find out for sure. The movie producers are rounding up all the A-list actors including the likes of Nicolas Cage, Donald Sutherland, Eugene Levy and many others for this Japan’s golden animation classic, and Charlize and Samuel are the latest people to throw into the mix of voice cast.

Charlize Theron

Samuel L. Jackson

There’s interesting rumour that Samuel Jackson is a long time otaku fan and with his recent success of his voice casting in another anime called Afro Samurai, very popular in Japan and other Western countries, it’s a little surprise why he should have no problem in getting through this ‘unchartered’ medium of pop culture.

More news on their roles for the film wil be revealed as we approach closer to the film’s deadline in October.
