Flying Dutchman with SpongeBob image with SR Comic-Con logo overlayed
Summary Mark Hamill has officially joined the cast of the new SpongeBob SquarePants movie as the Flying Dutchman, and reveals his new voice for the role. As a ghoulish green pirate ghost from the original series, The Flying Dutchman is one of the most iconic roles in the original SpongeBob series. He made his first appearance in pictures in the episode "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost" before he physically appeared in "Scaredy Pants.
That said, nabbing Hamill for the role is a huge win for the SpongeBob movie. Apart from appearing in the Star Wars films, Hamill's most notable acting talent is as a voice actor. Most prominently, he has been a sinister and unnerving Joker in numerous Batman movies, showing his knack for character voices. He has also contributed his talents to shows like Invincible and Masters of the Universe.
1 Hamill's casting in The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants may also help contextualize a vague social media post Hamill wrote earlier this year. Back in May, Hamill wrote "This tweet will gain significance when the movie I start today is publically announced." While this could have also referenced the Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk, for which Hamill's casting was announced today, it seems like the SpongeBob movie would be a huge role for Hamill to report.
