Marshmello To Voice Character In New ‘Smurfs’ Movie

Marshmello

Marshmello has been cast to voice a character in Paramount’s forthcoming Smurfs movie reboot.

Though it remains uncertain who he’ll play in the live-action-meets-CGI film, Variety reports that the masked EDM superstar will join an A-list Smurfs cast that also includes Rihanna as Smurfette, John Goodman as Papa Smurf, and other stars like James Corden, Nick Offerman, Dan Levy, Sandra Oh, and more.

Written by Pam Brady, known for her work on South Park and Team America, and directed by Chris Miller, known for Puss in Boots and Shrek the Third, the new Smurfs movie follows Smurfette as she leads her little blue brethren on a quest to save Papa Smurf from evil wizards.

Marshmello’s role in the film may come as a surprise to some, considering the helmeted artist only began sharing his voice in 2021, after years of relying on hand gestures and mimed interviews. Just last week, Marshmello, widely believed to be the alias of producer and DJ Chris Comstock, sat down for a two-hour chat with Daniel Wall in his first full-length voice interview.

When it comes to music, the “Happier” and “Come & Go” hitmaker has released a trio of new singles so far in 2025, linking up with the Jonas Brothers on “Slow Motion,” Argentine rapper Trueno on “Fale Então,” and AR/CO on “Worlds Apart,” following his bass-heavy EP The R∞ts, which arrived late last year.

Fans can catch Marshmello in Paramount’s Smurfs when it opens in theaters on July 18.
