He’s played an X-wing flying Jedi in the galaxy far, far away and here on Earth he’s about to play ‘the most fearsome goofball pirate you’ve ever seen‘ in 2025’s The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. Yes, we’re talking about Mark Hamill, and he appeared onstage at last weekends San Diego Comic Con to reveal that he is the voice of The Flying Dutchman.
To celebrate a quarter century of “SpongeBob SquarePants,” Nickelodeon pulled out all the stops at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, starting with an epic Hall H panel.
Mark Hamill made a surprise appearance to reveal that he’d be voicing The Flying Dutchman in the upcoming fourth SpongeBob film, “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants,” out in 2025. “He’s the most fearsome goofball pirate you’ve ever seen. The movie is more cerebral. It’s more thoughtful, intellectually challenging. No, I’m just yanking your chain. It’s inspired silliness from start to finish.”
