Dan Stevens is a promising choice in the role of Korvo on “Solar Opposites.” The actor’s previous work includes a stint on “Downton Abbey,” and he played the lead on FX’s trippy X-Men series, “Legion.” In the latter role, Stevens proved his ability to slip seamlessly between different tones, as his character was possessed by an evil entity shaping the events of his life. Stevens is also no stranger to voice acting, having been in the recording booth for roles in “Love, Death & Robots,” “The Sea Beast,” and more. Most notably, he played The Beast in Disney’s 2017 live-action remake of “Beauty and the Beast.”

It also appears that “Solar Opposites” is leaning into Korvo’s recast, with Stevens sounding like himself rather than attempting to imitate Justin Roiland. The two could not sound more different, with Stevens’ lush, syrupy voice being the, well, solar opposite of Roiland’s signature screeching, nasal delivery.

“Solar Opposites” appears to be leaning into the comedic potential of the recast, and seems poised to mine some belly laughs from it over the course of Season 4. Whether the show works as well with Stevens as Korvo, and whether fans take to him in the role remains to be seen when all episodes of “Solar Opposites” Season 4 are released to Hulu on August 14.
