Was the Teen Titans voice actor fired as Beast Boy? This is what we know

In recent days, social networks have exploded due to actor Greg Cipes, who has been Beast Boy’s voice in the animated DC universe for more than 20 years, being allegedly fired from “Teen Titans Go!” After the diagnosis of his Parkinson. Cipes originated the role in the cartoon series “Teen Titans” of 2003 and has been doing so since then. There has been a lot of round trip in the press that Cips involves and what really happened behind closed doors. So what did Really low? We will review everything we know so far.

All this began when the Instagram The Gunnverse account shared a publication of the publication of DC Studios, James Gunn, stating: “I had the pleasure of talking with Greg Cipes, and shared with me many details and annoying information on how it was unfairly finished (Warner Bros. Animation President Sam Register) while the other original actors can maintain their work.” Cipes then responded to the publication, stating: “Warner Brothers literally fired me on Valentine’s Day just after publicly sharing the diagnosis of my Parkinson,” before adding: “It is like a death for me that only fans can give life to life.”

Understandably, fans have expressed the situation. On the surface, this is not as if Charlie Sheen was fired from “two and a half men” for his erratic behavior. Supposedly, a loyal actor was fired from a program after nine seasons and some films after he was diagnosed with a weakening disease. If that is really what happened, Warner Bros. has something to explain. But there are some who said, they said he continued here too.

Multiple reports, including one of The wrappingLater he offered an additional vision of the situation. According to that report and others, the producers of “Teen Titans Go!” He approached Cibes about giving up the paper due to the alleged performance problems. Instead, to keep him involved, they offered to create a new character for him. Then there were conversations with his agent for a development agreement to keep the actor involved in the program.

The unidentified source of the wrapping insisted on CIBES was not fired due to the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Rather, they cited their performance as not being “at the level that the producers needed for Beast Boy.” It is said that Cipes recorded several scripts with the new character of “Teen Titans Go!” Season 10, which is currently in process. According to reports, the development agreement is still being negotiated.

A separate report from Deadline The deviation of the CIPE characterized by the program as “creative differences”, which also states that the refounding role had nothing to do with Parkinson’s diagnosis of the actor. At the time of writing this article, it has not been revealed who is taking over Beast Boy. In April of this year, Cips took Instagram During the month of Parkinson’s conscience to thank Warner Bros. for staying with him:

“Many thanks to Warner Brothers for keeping me working as the beast boy I created for 25 years and during all these health things in Parkinson.

The moment of that publication suggests that what happened between Cibes and Warner Bros. happened between May and September. All this is also taking place when Gunn and DC Studios are the head of Peter Safran, they are in the middle of the launch of the new DC universe, which will include several films per year, as well as live action series, animated programs and even video games.

“The teenage titans leave!” Without a doubt, it is not the canon within the DCU, but Gunn and Safran have plans for those characters, since a film of “teenage titans” of live action is in active development in Warner Bros. Gunn has not yet responded to the dismissals of Cipes, but if things continue to develop, it is not difficult to see him weighing in the future, either by his own agreement or during an interview.

Since then, Cipes has commented more about the matter in response to the reports that the situation came to light. In an interview with Comic resourcesThe actor conveyed his side of the story, saying the following:

“I can act as Beast Boy’s original voice that I created 23 years ago, even with the symptoms of my Parkinson’s. All I need is a little extra time in the recording cabin to take additional shots. (…) If they wanted outraged and has prayed several times to Sam register to keep me as BB because they knew I could still act as my son of Beast.

Sam Register, as mentioned briefly, is the president of Warner Bros. Animation, after having produced everything, from “Batman: The Killing Joke” to “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai”. It is the upper part of the food chain when it comes to DC animation. Based on Cipes’s narration, this was the registration decision and the rest of his castmates are not too satisfied with her. Speaking more, he explained, from his opinion, the new role they offered him and how things have happened since:

“(That was offered) to try to soften their blow by shooting me because I had Parkinson’s challenges, and hiring an imitator to assume my role and pretend to imitate the voice I created, instead of working with me with patience and understanding to work.

That’s where things are, but this is a development situation. “The teenage titans leave!” Season 10 currently does not have a release date, and it is not clear if this situation will be resolved for everyone’s satisfaction before the program returns.
