Cricketer Shubman Gill have now given voiceover for the fresh animated sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. He dubbed for the titular tole of Indian Spider-Man, Pavitr Prabhakar, both in Hindi and Punjabi. The cricketer shared that this superhero has been his all time favourite, especially Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man.
In conversation ETimes, Shubman revealed how he felt post dubbing the character. He averred, “I grew up watching Spider-Man and Spider-Man was the superhero for me. It was the first superhero movie that I watched. I have so many childhood memories associated with Spider-Man. I used to climb doors when I came back from school and my mom used to get so mad at me because I was [around] six-seven at that time. I felt so excited when I got to know I have this opportunity to dub the first ever Indian Spider-Man. We, as Indians, having its own Spider-Man, it’s iconic.”
Shubman further spoke about Tobey Maguire, “100% Tobey Maguire. As a kid, I remember I watched the third part of Spider-Man. I loved it, and then later on when I got a bit older and got to know that nobody liked that part. [I felt] how can people not like Spider-Man 3? How can critics say it’s so bad? There’s so many memories of mine attached to that trilogy by Tobey Maguire.”
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is slated to release in India on June 1. It will be available in 10 languages like English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada and Malayalam.
