Disney, Square Enix Announce Kingdom Hearts II Cast: James Woods to Return

Yes, James Woods has returned.

Square Enix and Disney have announced the final Kingdom Hearts II voice cast, and it contains a host of old favorites.

Returning to the cast are Oscar-winner Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense) as protagonist Sora, David Gallagher (7th Heaven) as Riku, and Steve Burton (The Last Castle) as Final Fantasy VII's Cloud Strife.

But Kingdom Heart fans may be more interested in the news that James Woods will return to voice the villain Hades (originally from the Disney film Hercules). Woods is known for offbeat roles in films such as True Believer, The Virgin Suicides, and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. He's also made memorable guest appearances on The Simpsons and, most recently, Family Guy.

Gamers may also know James Woods from his prolific video game career, which includes a major role in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (as CIA agent Mike Toreno).

Kingdom Hearts II is scheduled to hit the PS2 on March 28th.
