Hollywood stars get heroic, villainous for Spider-Man, X-Men games

Val Kilmer and his hat give evil a voice in "Spider-Man: Edge of Time."a

By Winda Benedetti

One look at actor Val Kilmer's hat ... and you know he's got villainy in his heart. Go on, see for yourself.a

Kilmer, Katee Sackhoff, Milo Ventimiglia — a throng of Hollywood film and TV actors lent their voices to the new "Spider-Man: Edge of Time" and "X-Men: Destiny" games. And now Activision — which published both titles — is giving us a look at the stars doing their work behind the scenes and in front of microphones.a

First up we've got video of Kilmer — famed for his roles in "Top Gun" and "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" — along with Sackhoff — a.k.a. Starbuck in the "Battlestar Galactica" remake — jumping behind the microphone for "Spider-Man: Edge of Time."a

Kilmer plays time-altering baddie Walker Sloan (seriously, does that hat not scream "eeeeeevil"?) and Sackhoff brings Black Cat to life. And you'll recognize actress Laura Vandervoort from the TV series "Smallville" and "V" giving voice to Mary Jane.a

Meanwhile, in this second video, Ventimiglia — who played Peter Petrelli in the hit TV show "Heroes" — talks about trying on mutant powers in "X-Men: Destiny." He's joined by Jamie Chung from the films "Sucker Punch" and "The Hangover Part II," and "Friday Night Lights" star Scott Porter. The three actors give voice to the three characters you can play in the game.a

Both "Spider-Man: Edge of Time" and "X-Men: Destiny" are available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and Nintendo DS.a
