Darren Criss and Zachary Quinto to Star in New Superman Animated Film SUPERMAN: MAN OF TOMORROW
DC Entertainment is developing a new Superman animated film titled Superman: The Man of Tomorrow. The story finds Clark Kent “working as an intern for the Daily Planet and learning on the job how to save the city of Metropolis.”
Thanks to EW, we have a first look image to share with you featuring the Man of Steel and Lex Luthor. It was also announced that Darren Criss (Glee, American Crime Story, Midway) will provide the voice of Superman in the film. Zachary Quinto (Star Trek) was also cast, and he will take on the role of the villainous Lex Luthor. Also joining the cast is Alexandra Daddario (San Andreas), who will play Lois Lane.
It’s explained that Man of Tomorrow will also include two other rogues including Lobo and Parasite. “Lobo, an intergalactic bounty hunter who calls himself "the Main Man," will be voiced by Ryan Hurst (The Walking Dead) while Parasite (a.k.a. Rudy Jones) will be voiced by Brett Dalton (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.). Parasite is one of the most well-named characters in superhero comics: A monster who can literally suck the superpowers and life out of other beings. As such, he's one of the few villains who can actually pose a threat to Superman.”
The rest of the voice cast includes Ike Amadi (Mass Effect 3) as Martian Manhunter, Neil Flynn (Scrubs) as Jonathan Kent, and Bellamy Young (Scandal) as Martha Kent.
Superman: Man of Tomorrow is being directed by Chris Palmer (Voltron: Legendary Defender) from a script written by Tim Sheridan (The Death of Superman), with Butch Lukic (Justice League, Batman Beyond) serving as supervising producer.
Superman: Man of Tomorrow becomes available on digital video, 4K Ultra combo pack, and Blu-ray combo pack this summer.
