With Dwayne Johnson leading the team as Krypto the SuperDog, he is joined by Kevin Hart’s Ace the Bat-Hound, Vanessa Bayer’s PB (Wonder Woman’s pet pig), Natasha Lyonne’s Merton (Flash’s pet turtle), and Diego Luna’s Ch’p (Green Lantern’s pet squirrel).
The Officestar John Krasinski, who recently directedThe Quiet Place 1&2, and is currentlyrumored to appear inFanstastic Four, will give the voice for Clark Kent/Superman. Joining him will be Keanu Reeves as Bruce Wayne/Batman. While actors such as Kate McKinnon, Thomas Middleditch, Ben Schwartz, and Jameela Jamil have been cast, their roles are undisclosed at the moment. Here’s the official synopsis of the movie:
In “DC League of Super-Pets,” Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime in Metropolis side by side. When Superman and the rest of the Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto must convince a rag-tag shelter pack–Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel–to master their own newfound powers and help him rescue the superheroes.
In the recently released teaser, Keanu Reeves’ Batman and Kevin Hart’s Ace the Bat-Hound seem to bond with their shared grief of a traumatic childhood, albeit shown as comedic relief. Though the movie is expected to focus mostly on the super-pets, the addition of Keanu Reeves to the cast will surely leave fans ecstatic.
