The voice cast for Legion of Super-Heroes, an upcoming DC Universe Animated Original Movie, has been revealed. A first look at the film was also unveiled (see above).
According to THR, Meg Donnelly will lead the voice cast of Legion of Super-Heroes as Kara/Supergirl. The film’s main cast also includes Harry Shum Jr. as Brainiac 5, Darren Criss as Clark Kent/Superman, Matt Bomer as Barry Allen/The Flash, and Jensen Ackles as Bruce Wayne/Batman.
The inclusion of Criss, Bomer, and Ackles has seemingly confirmed that Legion of Super-Heroes will be set in the Tomorrowverse, a collection of animated films that share a cohesive visual style and continuity. The franchise currently consists of five films: Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020), Justice Society: World War II, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two (all 2021), and Green Lantern: Beware My Power (2022). A seventh film, Justice League: Warworld, will follow Legion of Super-Heroes in 2023.
Legion of Super-Heroes begins with “Kara, devastated by the loss of Krypton, [struggling] to adjust to her new life on Earth. Her cousin, Superman, mentors her and suggests she leave their space-time to attend the Legion Academy in the 31st century, where she makes new friends and a new enemy: Braniac 5. Meanwhile, she must contend with a mysterious group called the Dark Circle as it searches for a powerful weapon held in the Academy’s vault.”
The film’s voice cast is rounded out by Cynthia Hamidi as Dawnstar, Gideon Adlan as Phantom Girl, Ely Henry as Bouncing Boy, Robbie Daymond as TimberWolf & Brianiac 4, Yuri Lowenthal as Mon-El, Eric Lopez as Cosmic Boy & Chemical King, Darin De Paul as Brainiac & Solomon Grundy, Ben Diskin as Arms Fall off Boy & Brainiac 2, Victoria Grace as Shadow Lass, Jennifer Hale as Alura, Daisy Lightfoot as Triplicate Girl, and Zeno Robinson as Invisible Kid & Brainiac 3.
