The insider’s new post also reveals other major actors who are reportedly in talks to join the voice cast of Dynamic Duo. Steve Buscemi may join the project for Red Hood Two. Meanwhile, Chris Pine is being eyed to voice Batman. However, readers must note that DC Studios has not made any official announcement regarding the upcoming movie’s voice cast.
Dynamic Duo was first announced in 2024 with Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. Instead of focusing on the dynamic between Batman and Robin, the movie will reportedly follow the origin story of the two Robins, Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.
The movie promises a unique cinematic visual, blending stop-motion techniques with CGI and live-action puppetry. It will be written by Matthew Aldrich. Meanwhile, New Orleans-based Swaybox will handle the animation, with married co-founders Arthur Mintz and Theresa Andersson directing and producing, respectively.
DC Studios co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran are producing the movie alongside Matt Reeves and Theresa Andersson.
