“Voicing Player was cool because he provides really interesting exposition about the places and missions that Carmen gets into, but he’s also the intimate voice in her ear.”

Netflix has also confirmed to produce a live-action movie for Carmen Sandiego, starring Gina Rodriguez. Furthermore, Rodriguez teases on the movie’s plot. She said:
“…So Duane created this entire incredibly intertwined beautiful story with backstory and all that, and so with the live-action, ideally we would be able to create multiple films. But to bring in this first film, it is really imperative to us to create this iconic character that we loved, right? That we didn’t know much about, and give her a really solid story that we all fall in love with.”
