talking to Comic bookStevens talks about him Solar contradictions role. Stevens praised Solar contradictions as a whole and noted “sound and animation” was a great passion of his. After taking Roiland's place Solar contradictionsStevens felt the show was well supported by fans. He also feels that it adds to the series.”differs in a way“from Rick and Morty. The voice actor then explained the process of casting Corvo and what he likes most about the main character, including Corvo's undying love for Terry. Check out the full quote from Stevens below:

I think it's a real gem and I'm a fan of adult animation. I've always liked doing sound and animation and I'm slowly getting into that side of the industry. It takes longer than you think. Just because you've been in a lot of TV shows and movies doesn't mean you're going to end up with anything. Some people don't even want to go here, but this is my real passion. I love doing it. And so I threw my hat in the ring when they were looking for the voice. Mike [McMahon] found the idea of ​​this angry, very special type of Brit very funny. I felt like they found a very sweet, simple, silly way to say, “Okay, now it's different.”

I think in the past it was more like they would rip off the actors and move on and no one would bat an eyelid. I think it's rarer now. I was glad they were able to replace me so neatly. For the most part, it seems to have gone down pretty well with fans. I think if anything it serves to mark the difference between that show and Rick and Morty now. I think the similarities were related to a certain sound, and now they differ in this way.

They asked me to do my native accent, and it was really about keeping the tone and character of Corvo. He's a very gritty character, a guy on a mission who's a little pissed off about being on this bad planet but is going to make the most of it, hopelessly in love with Terry. I think that's where a lot of the sweetness and optimism comes from. This is another type of dysfunctional family, where they find a way out of any situation from time to time, and at the same time, it is connected to this love for each other. I'm also a fan of the other characters. I think it was Thomas [Middleditch] His play with Terry is delightful and fun to play on the opposite side.
