Rich Keeble, the voice behind Monoco in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, jokingly called for a fan boycott of the upcoming movie adaptation if he is not cast to reprise his role.
Sandfall Interactive changed the RPG landscape in April 2025 with the breakout launch of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The debut title cleared eight million copies and swept awards season, turning its cast into household names for millions of players. That massive footprint naturally sparked adaptation talks, with Story Kitchen announcing a film project early last year. While updates on the silver screen version have been quiet, the community has already started heavy fan casting for every major role.
Actor Rich Keeble, who brought the unforgettable gestral warrior Monoco to life with pitch-perfect comedic timing, is hoping to stay with the franchise. In a recent interview with Polygon, Keeble revealed that he has not yet been approached about reprising his role for the movie adaptation. Pointing out that Monoco will likely require CGI or motion capture, Keeble jokingly pitched that he could easily record the vocal work right from his home studio in London without needing a Hollywood budget or international travel.
Leaning into his background in British sketch comedy and stand-up, Keeble brought his trademark dry delivery to the interview with a humorous ultimatum for the studio. He playfully urged fans to boycott the upcoming film unless he is brought back to voice the character, adding that any other outcome would leave him filled with murderous rage. As Hollywood continues to adapt modern gaming icons for the big screen, the community perspective remains clear. Fans and creators alike want to see the authentic talent that made these digital worlds special carried over to the adaptation.
