007 First Light Voice Cast — Every Actor and Their Character
Updated 2026-06-02
007 First Light features a voice cast that blends veteran video game voice actors with screen talent making their gaming debut. IO Interactive cast the roles with an emphasis on authenticity — several actors were chosen specifically for their ability to convey the Fleming-era sophistication of the characters. The result is a cast that sounds genuinely British without falling into caricature. This guide lists every confirmed voice actor in 007 First Light, the characters they play, and their notable previous work so you can put a name to every voice you hear during the campaign.

Supporting cast and cameos
Beyond the main cast, 007 First Light features several supporting actors in recurring roles. Tom Burke's casting as Bond drew particular attention — the English actor known for arthouse films like The Souvenir and the TV series Strike brought a leaner, more cerebral presence to the role compared to the muscular swagger of screen Bonds. Emma Thompson's M is a highlight, delivering line readings that manage to be simultaneously maternal, disappointed, and commanding. Tilda Swinton's casting as the voice of KynnTb was kept secret until launch — the modulated voice obscured her distinctive cadence, but fans who replayed with subtitles on recognised the phrasing patterns. Jonathan Pryce's Q steals every scene with dry technobabble and disdain for Bond's gadget mistreatment.
Localisation and dubbing
007 First Light was fully localised into eight languages: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, and Korean. Each localisation used region-appropriate actors rather than generic dub talent — the French dub, for instance, cast a well-known French theatre actor for Bond. The original English voice cast recorded at Pinewood Studios in London, the same facility used for the James Bond film franchise, a detail IO Interactive emphasised in pre-release promotional material. The lip-sync and facial animation quality in all supported languages matches the English original, a technical achievement that required the Glacier engine to support per-language phoneme maps.
