The voice actors behind Wolfenstein: Youngblood's Soph and Jess talk about how much the roles mean to them

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is the first entry in the series to star a female lead. Those who have been following the game know it's actually a dual lead, as the game stars BJ's daughters Soph and Jess. Those roles are played by Shelby Young and Valerie Lohman, and in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the pair talked about what it meant to them to take on the roles.

Valerie: "When I was younger I really only had like Lara Croft and the girls in Mortal Kombat, then eventually Metroid. I didn’t really have a funny, interesting, young female lead in anything growing up. It’s a big deal to me to know that Shelby and I are going to be that for young girls that are into gaming."

Shelby: "I love that there are more and more games coming out with female protagonists that are just strong and amazing and flawed and beautiful because women in life are all of those things and more. To see more and more representations of women that I can find a piece of myself in or who I can aspire to be is amazing. I’m already in my twenties, so I can’t imagine what that must be like for little girls growing up now."
