Bethesda has revealed the voice cast for its upcoming MMO, with a host of stars being named.The full cast includes John Cleese (Monty Python), Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean), Kate Beckinsale (Underworld), Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2), Michael Gambon (Harry Potter), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) and Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman).Cleese plays Cadwell, a "cheerful and endearingly mad lost soul who is not afraid of anyone, even a Daedric Prince." Nighy will be the merchant prince High King Emeric, while Beckinsale is Queen Ayrenn, the leader of the Aldmeri Dominion and Queen of the High Elves.Molina is the wily wizard and politician Abnur Tharn, head of the Elder council and the real power behind the Ruby Throne. Carter is Azura, the Daedric Princess of Dusk and Dawn, while Gambon is The Prophet, a mysterious blind man who guides the player through their journey to retrieve their soul. Finally, McDowell plays Molag Bal, the Daedric god scheming to enslave Tamriel's mortals.Slightly less famous names round out the list, with Peter Stormare and Jim Ward playing Jorunn the Skald King and Mannimarco the necromancer, respectively. Jennifer Hale and Kevin Michael Richardson are Lyris Titanborn, the helpful Nord half-giant and Sai Sahan the master swordsman.The Elder Scrolls Online will launch later this year with an M rating in North America . One of the more controversial aspects is its sub fee, which we mused about earlier this week
