![]() That was another, “What! Superman!”ĭar: Those who haven’t watched DC Super Hero Girls may be surprised to see that this isn’t the boy scout that we’re used to seeing. But with Superman, it was fun to call my parents again and tell them not only do I get to play Jimmy Olsen but I also get to play Superman. It told them, “It’s this character, Jimmy Olsen.” And my mom was like, “Jimmy Olsen! You get to play Jimmy Olsen! Everybody knows who Jimmy Olsen is!” And that was really cool. In fact, I remember calling my parents and saying, “I booked this awesome character!” My parents don’t watch cartoons. I booked Jimmy Olsen a few years ago before Superman and I was over the moon. Whatever kinds of roles that I book I am grateful for. Every audition that you don’t get is basically a failure. ![]() But you learn very quickly to let your expectations go when you start out in this industry because you face so much failure. I’ve had multiple opportunities to audition for various superheroes and characters. Mittelman: I have very little expectations for my career. Max Mittelman: You know, I’m pretty proud of that fact!ĭar: Did you ever conceive the opportunity to play the Last Son of Krypton would come to you? To my knowledge, and I could be wrong, but I don’t believe there’s ever been a voice actor who’s played both Superman and Jimmy Olsen. Taimur Dar: As you’ve pointed out, before you voiced the Man of Steel in DC Super Hero Girls you previously played “Superman’s Pal” Jimmy Olsen in various DC animated projects. Ahead of the film’s release, we had the chance to chat with Mittelman about portraying such a vastly different version of Superman, playing up the comedy, and much more! ![]() Max Mittelman reprises Supes in the new Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse crossover animated film. Typically considered the quintessential “boy scout,” viewers may be surprised to see this reinterpretation veers radically away from past portrayals and instead plays up Superman’s vanity and egotism. So it’s rather fitting in the current iteration of the DC Super Hero Girls franchise that Mittelman was cast as the Man of Steel himself. He’s probably known best as Saitama the titular character in the anime One-Punch Man whose incredible feats of strength rival those of Superman himself. ![]() Indeed, over the last decade Mittelman has been involved as a voice actor in some of the most successful animation productions such as Ben 10, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir and Boruto. Since switching from his original career path of becoming a doctor to pursue acting, I think it’s safe to say Max Mittelman has done pretty well for himself. ![]()
