Andross

Video Game: Star Fox (2026)

Revenge is a dish served cold, and nobody in the Lylat System has waited longer to collect than Dr. Andross. Banished to the desolate planet Venom by General Pepper after a catastrophic experiment leveled an entire city on Corneria, the disgraced scientist transformed exile into empire, and now his Venomian Army threatens to swallow every planet in the system whole.

Andross’s Role in Star Fox (2026)

What makes Andross so chilling in Velan Studios’ remake isn’t just the scale of his ambition; it’s how personal it all is. He orchestrated the betrayal that led to James McCloud’s disappearance, setting the stage for a father-son rivalry that now defines the entire conflict. His redesign for the Switch 2 game pushes that menace even further visually, with rocket propulsion devices grafted onto his iconic disembodied hands and neck, making him feel less like an eccentric villain and more like something genuinely wrong with the universe. On the hard route, his taunts to Fox carry new depth, pointing out that the son is unwittingly retracing the same steps that doomed the father. The reveal of his brain form comes with a declaration that if the Lylat System won’t bow to him, it will burn entirely, a line that reframes his goal from conquest to something closer to nihilistic fury.

Who Voices Andross in Star Fox (2026)?

Hunter Peterson brings both James McCloud and Dr. Andross to life in the English version of Star Fox (2026), a striking dual casting that puts the architect of the McCloud family’s tragedy and its most beloved member in the same voice booth. Peterson is a Los Angeles-based voice actor whose game credits include Lord Gnaeus in Honkai: Star Rail and Pastos in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. His deep, authoritative delivery makes the contrast between the two roles all the more effective.
