How come Philece Sampler isn't reprising Mimi? I mean, it makes sense for Cody to be recast, since he's an adult now, and his voice needed to change, but Sampler is capable of doing adult woman voices. How come she isn't coming back as Mimi even though she played her in all of the Tri movies?
On the other hand, there's no question to be made on why Matt got recast yet again. |

Aside from Mimi, can anyone confirm if the original actors/Tri cast have returned? And man, is it so hard to get Michael Reisz on board? I thought with so much fan demand we’d have a chance to get him back even with interest from the man himself

My best guess is possibly the difficulty in getting a quality home-recording setup arranged for Sampler in time for the deadline. Which I believe is the same reason Brian Donovan didn't end up reprising Davis. That's just my guess though, so who's to say really... I think Mimi's role in this film is fairly small though, and Higgins is a pretty decent choice for a voice match, so hopefully it won't be too distracting...
Yeah, pretty much everyone else from Tri came back for this. |

It's such a shame that it is probably because of COVID-19 and how not all of them got the quality home studio set ups done in time before the deadline is why certain voice actors are unable to come back but it's understandable though.
Also, no surprise that he who shall not be named is not coming back and got a new voice actor I have never heard of before replacing him as the new voice for Matt and I am still surprised that Michael Reisz isn't back after expressing interest in returning but that's life. Now what I am really interested in is whether or not there will be an English dub of the Digimon Adventure reboot that had just came back to air not too long ago. |

Good to see some of the cast from Tri (Plus Ken Ichijouji and Wormmon) returning to this film. Even the casting of Nicolas Roye as Matt Ishida replacing Vic Mignogna along with the new castings for Davis, Cody, Yolei, Armadilomon and Hawkmon were also well done.
A bit surprised that Kate Higgins took over as Mimi from Philece Sampler along with Christopher Swindle and Griffin Burns replacing Neil Kaplan and Brian Donovan as Hawkmon and David Montomiya respectively. Either it was union issues or they weren't asked to return but who can say, I guess Union issues could be one factor as Brian Donovan hasn't done ANY anime VO work besides voicing Rock Lee in the Naruto franchise so it's understandable why he didn't come back although Philece Sampler and Neil Kaplan are in the grey area as they have worked on some non-union productions before, particularly Philece.
Who can say either it was scheduling/union issues or she wasn't asked to return, but I think it was the former. |

Not to break it to you, but are you getting a little ahead of yourself of this? |

You mean about what I have said about the idea of the Digimon Adventure reboot getting an English dub? Just wondering. |

I'm sad Philece Sampler won't be able to return as Mimi as she was my favorite Digidestined and unless they bring everyone back to dub the reboot, this might end up being the last chance to play Mimi. Though even if they dub the reboot, there's always the possibility that they might go with a brand new cast if it's getting harder to bring all the old cast back together. I really like Kate Higgins though so I'm sure she'll be great as Mimi and at least Sampler got to play her in all six Tri movies. I wish they could have brought back Michael Reisz to play Matt for one last hurrah after how much he and the fans wanted him back but Nicolas Roye is a good choice. I enjoyed him as Mikey in Digimon Fusion and he sounded good in the dub trailer for Kizuna. I'm glad Derek Stephen Prince and Paul St. Peter are back as Ken and Wormmon and I can't wait to hear them again. It feels like I've been waiting for this movie for forever so I can't wait to finally see it.
