Complete Character Guide: Meet Every Figure Across Mr. Peabody and Sherman's Universe
By Chloe Bennett
Once the WABAC machine fires up, the narrative introduces an eccentric gallery of historical icons. Rather than delivering dry textbook portraits, the production reinvents historical figures as exaggerated, comedic caricatures with surprising emotional baggage.
In Renaissance Florence, Leonardo da Vinci (voiced by Stanley Tucci) struggles with an artist's existential creative block. Tucci portrays the quintessential polymath as an eccentric, manic inventor desperate to make Mona Lisa smile. The Italian maestro bonds instantly with Peabody over their shared obsession with complex engineering, helping the dog construct a makeshift flying glider when temporal emergencies strand the travelers.
During the Trojan War, King Agamemnon (voiced by Patrick Warburton) emerges as a towering, battle-hardened warrior with an unexpected soft spot for brotherhood and family. Warburton lends his signature deadpan, booming baritone to the Greek commander, welcoming Sherman into his ranks inside the Trojan Horse and serving as an unexpected, hilariously blunt mentor who helps Sherman find courage.
