Charlie Cox of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Proposes Robert Pattinson for Live-Action Role, Offers to Voice Character

Charlie Cox, the star of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has shared his thoughts on the upcoming movie adaptation of the popular video game, revealing a unique idea for his potential involvement. In the game, Cox voices the hero Gustave but does not perform the motion capture or provide the facial likeness, which bears a striking resemblance to actor Robert Pattinson. This has often led Cox to modestly downplay his role, despite receiving widespread acclaim for his performance.

During a recent interview, Cox expressed enthusiasm about returning to voice Gustave in the live-action film, while jokingly suggesting that Pattinson should take on the acting part. He remarked, 'My involvement, though initially small and now much larger, has been a truly humbling and enjoyable journey. Absolutely, I think if they make the movie, they should cast Robert Pattinson to play the role, and I should handle the voice. That way, they'd essentially recreate the exact Gustave from the game.' Whether Pattinson would be interested in such a role or being dubbed by Cox remains an open question.

Fans have long speculated that Gustave's appearance is modeled after Pattinson, but developer Sandfall Interactive has clarified that the character is actually based on one of their own employees, with a distinctive mustache added for flair. Cox made these comments at the BAFTA Games Awards 2026, where Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 continued its winning streak, securing awards for Best Game, Debut Game, and Performer in a Leading Role for Jennifer English.

Plans for a live-action movie adaptation of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 were announced before the game's launch, with Sandfall collaborating with Story Kitchen, the production company behind the successful Sonic the Hedgehog films and the upcoming Tomb Raider TV series starring Sophie Turner. No further details, such as casting or a release date, have been disclosed yet.
