According to Sony Pictures Entertainment Malaysia, the casting felt like a natural fit. Both Zul Ariffin and the character Archie Everhardt share qualities described as powerful, sporty, and commanding a strong presence.

The Malaysian version of the film aims to bridge the gap between Hollywood animation and local audiences by bringing familiar Malaysian voices into the story.

In the original international version of the film, Archie Everhardt is voiced by David Harbour, known for his roles in Stranger Things and Black Widow.

This collaboration represents a meaningful milestone for Malaysian talent in global entertainment. By featuring a well-known local actor in a Hollywood animation release, the project highlights how international studios are increasingly connecting with regional audiences through local voices and cultural familiarity.
