Indiana Jones and the Great Circle revealed that Marios Gavrilis is playing the game's villain, Emmerich Voss. During the recent Xbox Developer Direct, MachineGames offered a look into the villain.

The new Indiana Jones game was first announced over two years ago by Bethesda, which recruited MachineGames to lead development for the next Indy story. Fans might recognize MachineGames for its Wolfenstein reboots, which feature fast-paced shooter action and solid storytelling. MachineGames confirmed that its Indiana Jones game will feature that and more, incorporating puzzle solving and third-person environmental traversal. Recently, MachineGames and Bethesda revealed another interesting detail regarding the game's development.

In a video posted to Marios Gavrilis' Twitter account, the actor revealed that he is playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's Emmerich Voss character. The game's lead game designer, Jerk Gustafsson, explained that Voss' main inspiration in life is to unearth the world's major mysteries, making him quite similar to Indiana Jones. However, the two went down completely different roads, as Voss is a high-ranking Nazi scientist who uses fear and pain to get his way. The development team previously described Voss as a psychological, intelligent, and obsessive man who is determined to master the human mind and learn how to manipulate it. Gavrilis ended his video by telling fans that there is a "lot more" Indiana Jones and the Great Circle news coming in the future.

Who is Playing the Villain in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle?

  • Marios Gavrilis as Emmerich Voss

Gavrilis will star alongside Troy Baker in the new Indiana Jones game, who is playing the titular character. Fans will probably recognize Baker for his roles as Joel in The Last of Us and Booker DeWitt in Bioshock Infinite. Gavrilis isn't as established in the video game acting world, but his credits include voicing the German versions of Sam Porter Bridges in Death Stranding, Alexios in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Dani Rojas in Far Cry 6.

Fans can expect to see Baker and Gavrilis' characters among the confirmed locations for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. During his globe-trotting journey, Indy will stop in the Vatican City, Thailand's Sukhothai Temples, the Himalayas, and the pyramids of Giza. These are only the locations confirmed in the game's trailer, so there are likely more that are still unrevealed.

Indiana Jones and Emmerich Voss' rivalry takes place in 1937, between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. Some fans speculated that this setting opens the door for some interesting cameos from previous Indiana Jones characters, such as Marion Ravenwood or Sallah.
