Well I'm suggest Genesis Rodriguez is because of the two aspect we know about Cruz.

1. She's Latina.

2. She's a young newbie trainer.

Julianne Moore and Glen Close are both at an age and they're both older than Owen Wilson. Genesis is young and latina and has done voice acting roles and will continue to do so because of the BH6 tv series next year. However, I found two more young latina woman voices that could work for Cruz: Cierra Ramirez and Gina Rodriguez.

I think the fact that Cruz is a young mentor character to McQueen is kind of meant to be a contrast to the other Cars' mentor figure being old men (Doc, Finn, Skipper from Planes). Not only that but the only relationship I see developing between McQueen and Cruz other than student-teacher is that of father and daughter.

For Jackson's voice... I don't know. We have no idea who he is other than a rival rookie racer to McQueen and even then he could either be like Chick, Francesco, or just like the Lightning from the first movie.

With that being said I don't think Jackson will be a villain per say. There's a reason why they announce two new characters who are of the opposite sex and have some sort of relation to McQueen. I think in some way Jackson might be Cruz's love interest.
