Update: This has since been confirmed by sightings of the cast list at Shepperton studios. Anozie will play Iorek, McShane Iofur.
An article in the Daily Mail gives Nonso Anozie as providing the voice for Iorek Brynison in the His Dark Materials movie. It had been previously understood that Ian McShane had the role. There was however a caveat included back then as we were only able to ascertain that McShane would be playing “the King of the Bears” – which can be taken to mean either Iorek or Iofur. McShane may then in fact be playing Iofur Raknison, the evil bear of the piece. We're following this up to try and clarify things.

I don't know who to believe will play which bear. Based on Ian's voice, I feel that he would be better off as Iofur. The IMDB lists him otherwise.

Thanks Sam. I'll change pages so that's reflected, but without any official source I'll have to note it's not entirely confirmed. What are you doing at the studio? Email me.

Interesting… Seems that by his training and work thus far, he could be in.
