Everything We Know So Far About DC's “Wonder Twins” Movie
The DC universe is continuing to expand on screen, going beyond the headliner superheroes and digging deeper into comics lore. One of the more obscure comic stories that’s about to get the movie treatment is “Wonder Twins.” Known for being a pretty goofy story with roots in the 1970s, “Wonder Twins” is about to be folded into the bigger DC movie universe with a feature film in the works.
If you aren’t too familiar with the comic-book characters, you’re not alone! As the DC Extended Universe gears up to welcome these superpowered siblings into its world of interconnected movies, we’re keeping track of everything we know about the adaptation so far, from who’s in the cast to what the story might be and more.
What Is "Wonder Twins" About?
“Wonder Twins” is loosely based on a pair of 1970s DC Comics characters. In the comics, the Wonder Twins, Zan and Jayna, are introduced as superpowered sidekicks to more established heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and others in the Justice League. They each have their own superpowers, as well as the catchphrase “Wonder Twin powers, activate!”
The exact details of the upcoming HBO Max movie are still being kept under wraps.
Who Is in the "Wonder Twins" Cast?
In April 2022, Deadline reported that the lead roles of Zan and Jayna had been cast. KJ Apa, known for his role as Archie on “Riverdale,” will be playing Zan, the shapeshifting twin. The role of Jayna, the twin with the power to transform into animals, will be played by Isabel May, best known for her role as Elsa Dutton on “1883.”
When Will "Wonder Twins" Come Out?
An exact release date has not yet been announced. According to Variety, the “Wonder Twins” movie will not be a theatrical release and instead debut directly on HBO Max.
