Is Jack Black In Dead Island 2?

In the original E3 2014 Dead Island 2 reveal trailed (linked below), there were two very familiar voices that could be heard towards the end. These voices sounded crazily similar to Jack Black and Aaron Paul, and led many people, including myself, to believe that both Jack Black and Aaron Paul voice acted two of the characters within the game. But is that really the case?

when jack black points out a jack black impersonator, "that has to blow my mind!" -sean murray on the real thats pretty insane

[@NationFusion]

The guy that you are referring to is Mick Wingert. Hes in The Kung Fu Panda Games as well as TMNT and other games.

Maybe Jack Black will play online when the game is out. He definitely seems interested in it, perhaps enough to buy it.

[@NicePanda100]

Yeah, when the game is out

[@ColossalKiwi]

Just in case you think Jack Black may be joking or withholding information, here is a link to a part of an interview with Dead Island 2's Game Director (back when Yager Studios were in charge) where he confirms the answer featured in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rILLZ62qoLBsrtEm28s

I didn't know there was an impersonator on the KFP show. I've seen like two episodes and I thought it was really him. That's a good impersonator. Brings to mind the project I did in year 7. Do you remember I sent you a photo of the poster T?

I honestly loved the possibility of Jack Black being the voice inpercenator but already had suspicions that it was the voice inpercenator from Kung Fu Panda series I knew it all along. But honestly this trailer is creepy as heck, Im with Jack Black is cool game but the trailer what the hell come on! Long Live Jack Black Im your super fan

[@asderr77]

Dead Island 2 won't be as good as the first one imo dying light is better

[@ColossalKiwi]

Dead Island definitely has more of an RPG feel to it. Dying Light has more of a horror survival feel to it. Both games are great and fairly different from each other.

[@asderr77]

That's the first one afaik.The second one is developed by Deep Silver and not Techland so it will be different than the first DI

[@ColossalKiwi]

Nordic and I are talking about the first one. The first Dead Island (and Dead Island: Riptide) have more of an RPG style than Dying Light does. We obviously can't comment on Dead Island 2 too much because it isn't out yet. Also, the second one is not being developed by Deep Silver. Deep Silver are the *publishers* for the Dead Island series, not the developers. They have published every single Dead Island game and will also publish Dead Island 2 when it eventually comes out. Dead Island 2 was initially being developed by Yager Studios, but is now being developed by Sumo Digital.

Aren't Jack Black's unique voice and vocal mannerisms considered IP at this point? So wouldn't hiring an actor specifically to sound like him be like.. copyright violation at best, and full-on identity theft at worst?
