I've said this for a long time. The narrator of Spaceship Earth needs to be Paul McGann. He's got a voice like butter with weight and epicness in delivery coupled with a subtle reference that just makes sense for the narration of a journey through time.

I'm betting on NPH, considering his ties to Epcot and his willingness to not receive credit (compensation?) for his work if he thinks it's cool, as in California Screamin'.
Whoopi would be great, too, especially because Disney's got her under contract with the View.
I think Viola Davis would be excellent, especially if they want to keep her hooked after How To Get Away With Murder.
If they could get Julie Andrews, I think that would be a major get, but I'm sure she'll say the Safety Spiel for the new UK attraction.
Jeff Bridges or even Olivia Wilde would be excellent, but I fear they'll use his voice on TRON in the same way.
I don't think they'll repeat previous voices, nor choose voices that are iconic as other Disney characters, especially those used in other Disney parks (Mufasa, Tony Stark, Maz Kanata, Dory, Mulan). I almost said Chris Evans, but his pedigree as Captain America might make it distracting while riding an attraction that emphasizes the way storytelling has a magical way to transcend borders. It also really depends on the content of the new script.

Anyone else think that Gary Oldman would be a good idea???

Angela Bassett.
As Marie Laveau.

Without a competent, not-talking-down-to-you/insipidly-stupid script, it won't matter who does the narration.

Ok could you therefore sneak a John Travolta in there?

For me...Jeremy Irons has such an iconic voice and works perfectly because his voice truly is "grand and miraculous."
If not Jeremy Irons....
Gary Sinise
Patrick Stewart
Robin Thicke
Hugh Jackman
Halle Berry
Charlize Theron
Leonardo DiCaprio

Everything should be narrated by Morgan Freeman. Or James Earl Jones, if he's not available.

No one else likes Angela Bassett? The whole time I watched the Imagineering Story (which she narrated) I thought she’d be perfect for SSE.
