<p>Tamer Hosny is the latest addition to a long list of Egyptians voicing Arabic versions of Disney films, as he just became the voice of Peter Parker in the new "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse."</p>
<p>The film, which will be released this month, is set in a shared multiverse called the Spider-Verse.</p>
<p>In an interview with <em>The Insider</em>, Hosny revealed that he&rsquo;s been wanting to voice a cartoon character for years.</p>
<p>"I was really happy to be nominated to the project because of how big it is and came through big international company," he said.</p>

<p>He also revealed that he added a comedic twist to Parker's character as he felt the character was quite serious.</p>
<p>Hosny isn't the first Egyptian to voice a popular Disney character in Arabic. Ahmed Helmy, Mohamed Henedy and many more are among a long list of prominent actors who previously took on the job.</p>

<p>She wasn't the only Egyptian actor who landed a voice role in the film.</p>
<p>Khaled Saleh voiced Gill,&nbsp;Botros Ghali voiced&nbsp;Jacques and Khaled Elsawy voiced&nbsp;Nigel.</p>

<p>"I decided to take part in this movie because of how good it is," he told <em>ON E</em>.</p>
<p>"Gene has dreams and aspirations in addition to his story being interesting and funny," he added.</p>
<p><strong><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/SI-yR0d_LNU" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Mohamed Henedy</strong></p>
<p>Henedy is one of the few Egyptian stars who voiced plenty of cartoon characters.</p>
<p>First and foremost was his role as&nbsp;Timon in "The Lion King" (1994).</p>
<p>His role as Timon was seen by many as a perfect casting choice and paved the way for future voice roles.</p>
<p>In 1996, he voiced Timon again for Disney's 88-episode series "Timon and Pumbaa."</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Xrak0EwHu9U" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>A few years later, he voiced&nbsp;Mike Wazowski in "Monsters, Inc." (2001), which was among the important projects in his career and made him popular with the younger generations.</p>
<p>"I love working on projects for children ...&nbsp; My first project was The Lion King, which I enjoyed a lot ... Until today, I still get excited when I'm offered a cartoon role," he told&nbsp;Isaad Younis on&nbsp;<em>Sahebat Al Saada</em>.</p>
