Justice League director Zack Snyder will make a surprise appearance in an upcoming episode of Teen Titans Go!.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, it was announced during the "Cartoon Network: Winner Takes" presentation at San Diego Comic-Con that the DC Extended Universe director will guest star as himself on the Cartoon Network animated series. The Teen Titans Go! panel included appearances from the show's executive producer Pete Michail and cast members Greg Cipes, who plays Beast Boy, and Tara Strong, who voices Raven.
Snyder will voice himself in the show's eighth season for its 365th episode, aptly titled "365!", which will premiere on Cartoon Network in the fall. The episode will follow the Titans as they search for a director to film this very special episode, hence the Snyder cameo.
Created by Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath, Teen Titans Go! premiered on April 23, 2013, serving as a more comedic take on the famous DC Comics super-team than the 2003 series that came before it. It stars Scott Menville as Robin, Hynden Walch as Starfire, Khary Payton as Cyborg, Tara Strong as Raven and Greg Cipes as Beast Boy. Other characters who have made guest appearances include Superman, Batman, Batgirl, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, The Powerpuff Girls, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the ThunderCats.
Teen Titans Go! was renewed for an eighth season in February, which will see the animated series cross 400 episodes. "The undeniable success of Teen Titans Go!, with its signature blend of action and subversive Super Hero humor, is a testament to the phenomenal work of executive producer Pete Michail and the show team," said Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios President Sam Register, who also serves as an executive producer on the series. "Seven seasons, one theatrical feature film, multiple specials, celebrity cameos, and no end in sight, this show has carved out its own lane in the acclaimed legacy established by the original Teen Titans animated series."
Snyder has directed three DCEU films, including Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Zack Snyder's Justice League, or the Snyder Cut, which was released on March 18, 2021. However, the Snyder Cut was recently mired in controversy following a report from Warner Bros. claiming that the bulk of a fan-led social media campaign to #ReleasetheSnyderCut was fueled by bots and fake accounts.
Seasons 1 through 6 of Teen Titans Go! as well as Zack Snyder's Justice League, are now available to stream on HBO Max.
