I have read several reviews of The Wolverine that believe russian actress Svetlana Khodchenkova, who plays Viper, was dubbed (example), but IMDb doesn't list a voice actress.

There is a comment on a Slashfilm.com article that claims:

I heard from a studio exec that worked on the film that everyone was quite unhappy with Svetlana Khodchenkova's performance. They dubbed over all of her lines, and drastically cut down her role in the final cut.


My Question:

  • Is there any official (director, producer, the actress herself,...) confirmation that Svetlana Khodchenkova was dubbed?

    If yes, who was the voice actress?



Best Answer

I could not find any information about whether her voice was really dubbed. All the official forums and canon do not have any source on this. However, the general community consensus on the issue is yes, her voice was dubbed.

It does seem that way as the voice-over parts seem to dubbed pre-production. But if that really was the case, we do not have a source to confirm that.

Answer 2

Everyones voice in every movie is dubbed over in the studio during most scenes to make it sound better. Some lip-flap is common and doesnt mean it wasnt the actor dubbing themselves.
