David Menkin, who voices Hugh in Capcom's Pragmata, avoided posting about NASA's Artemis II crew due to concerns over his nondisclosure agreement. In an interview, he explained his hesitation stemmed from the game's moon setting. Menkin shared these details amid excitement for the recently released sci-fi title.
David Menkin, the voice actor for Hugh in Capcom's Pragmata, revealed he refrained from sharing his enthusiasm for NASA's Artemis II crew online. The game features Hugh, a space marine protecting a robot child on a lunar station, which made Menkin wary of any potential overlap with real space events. He told Polygon that he worried Capcom might misinterpret his posts as spoilers for their sci-fi puzzle shooter. “I didn’t want anyone from Capcom to be like, ‘Excuse me, is that a picture of the moon or is that a picture of our moon?’” Menkin said. Pragmata launched recently, prompting Menkin to promote it on social media. On April 17, 2026, he tweeted: “Me is Hugh. Hugh is me! PRAGMATA is out now! Join us on the moon 🌒,” accompanied by an image. Menkin noted his extensive experience with moon-themed roles, including voicing Neil Armstrong in the 2018 short film Moths to Flame and an audio drama called Buzz alongside John Lithgow. “I’ve done all the famous quotes, Neil’s famous quotes,” he added. “I know so much about the fucking moon.” These projects highlight his familiarity with space narratives, adding context to his caution during the Artemis II mission.
