He is sometimes presented as a worthy successor to Richard Darboy. And for good reason: he, whose deep, serious voice can shake the walls of the dubbing studio, knows how to perfectly fill the cavernous intonations of the most charismatic characters. His name: Adrien Antoine.
This remarkable actor, whose strong and warm tone occasionally appears on your TV during perfume or coffee brand ads, mastered the discipline of dubbing from a very young age and has carved out his unique voice in recent decades. Prestigious English-speaking actors, as well as unforgettable characters.

By the way (many others), it’s Adrien Antoine who has been vocalizing Thor since his first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
