Two years ago, DC Studios announced plans for "Dynamic Duo," a stop-motion animated feature centered on Batman’s Robin sidekicks and scheduled to hit theaters June 30, 2028. After two years in development, the movie’s voice cast has reportedly begun to take shape.
Entertainment reporter Jeff Sneider revealed the casting news in his newsletter, "The InSneider." "The Black Phone" breakout Mason Thames is reportedly set to voice Dick Grayson, the original Robin, while "Ghostbusters" franchise actor Logan Kim will play Jason Todd, the second Robin. Marsai Martin will voice Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl, with Lee Pace taking on the film’s main villain, Red Hood One.

Sneider characterized those four casting choices as locked in. Other actors have received offers but have not formally signed on, including Steve Buscemi for Red Hood Two and Chris Pine for Batman. DC Studios co-chair James Gunn has previously said he wants characters’ voice performers and live-action actors to be the same whenever possible. However, it remains unclear which continuity "Dynamic Duo" will occupy, leaving open the question of whether this cast could eventually play their roles in live action.

"Dynamic Duo" is written by "Lightyear" and "Coco" co-writer Matthew Aldrich and directed by Swaybox Studios co-founder Arthur Mintz. The movie will use Swaybox’s proprietary Momo animation process, which blends CGI, stop-motion and real-time live-action puppetry to create remarkably lifelike visuals. The film is being positioned as an origin story for Dick and Jason, exploring how deep differences in their beliefs put their friendship to the ultimate test.
