If you play video games, chances are that you've heard Nolan North's voice many times, whether he's the ghost keeping your guardian alive in Destiny, firing off quippy lines as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted games, or bringing to life a Jedi...the list goes on.
In the world of DC, he's been everyone from Superboy to the Penguin, and on the Marvel side of things, the dexterity of North's vocal ability stretches him from Rocket Raccoon to Green Goblin and even Werewolf by Night. But North left the obscurity of Marvel werewolves in the dust for Marvel's Avengers, the superhero video game from Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics and publisher Square Enix. This time, he plays one of the most famous heroes in the history of comic books: Iron Man.
Part of the excitement and the challenge of playing Tony Stark is that, since 2008, the character has been essentially synonymous with Robert Downey Jr. In an exclusive interview, Looper spoke with North about his version of Iron Man, his cast mates, and the evolution of the technology used to bring games to life.
Something Nolan brought up right away was the evolution of motion capture work.
A big part of being Tony Stark in Marvel's Avengers means being in a mo-cap suit for a long time, and a big part of what makes that process easier seems to be how much the technology has changed.
North says that he has been especially impressed by recent improvements in facial recognition technology.
As for comics research, North studied up on MODOK, the massive-headed super-villain who terrorizes Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the game.
It also doesn't hurt that North has played a ton of comic book characters over the years.
This is when he first had the chance to bone up on all things Marvel, and he brought those books out again for Marvel's Avengers.
All that said, the biggest thing Nolan pointed out that makes playing Iron Man fun and rewarding is having a team of talented people around him.
North also noted that putting on the mo-cap suit kind of felt like being in the actual Stark Tech, but what truly helped him settle into the character was working alongside his fellow actors, and one in particular: Travis Willingham, who plays Thor.
Marvel's Avengers is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Watch the video to hear Nolan North On What It's Really Like Playing Iron Man!
