Imagem Films Mx Sets New Wildwood Dub for Mexico
The distributor will release an alternative Spanish-language dub in Mexican theaters from November 12, 2026, after criticism of the original cast.
Mexican distributor Imagem Films Mx has announced an alternative Spanish-language dub of Wildwood that will begin screening in theaters across Mexico on November 12, 2026, according to cartoonbrew.com. The move follows criticism of the film's original Mexican dub, which drew backlash for casting celebrities and social media personalities rather than professional voice actors.
The replacement cast includes professional dubbing actors Danna Alcalá and Erica Edwards, while Emilio Treviño remains in the role of Curtis. In a statement, Imagem Films Mx said the new version is not intended to invalidate or discredit the previous process or its artistic contributions.
Backlash over the first dub
Wildwood, directed by Travis Knight, opened in Mexico on October 29, 2026. The original dub cast actress Macarena García as Prue McKeel, influencer and film commentator Javier Ibarreche as the Bandit King, and TV personality Natalia Téllez as Alexandra Svik. Criticism of that casting spread on social media and led to a petition calling for a new dub.
The alternative version is scheduled to reach Mexican cinemas nationwide from November 12, 2026.
