Rooster Teeth and DC have officially announced the full voice cast for their upcoming crossover film, Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One.
As exclusively revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, Super Heroes & Huntsmen's main cast includes RWBY stars Lindsay Jones, Kara Eberle, Arryn Zech and Barbara Dunkelman, who reprise their roles as Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long, respectively. Their co-stars for the Justice League crossover include Natalie Alyn Lind (The Gifted) as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, Chandler Riggs (The Walking Dead) as Superman/Clark Kent and Nat Wolff (The Naked Brothers Band) as Batman/Bruce Wayne.
Other RWBY stars reprising their roles for the DC crossover film include Miles Luna as Jaune Arc, Samantha Ireland as Nora Valkyrie, Jen Brown as Pyrrha Nikos, Neath Oum as Lie Ren, Shannon McCormick as Professor Ozpin, Aaron Dismuke as Oscar Pine, Jason Douglas as Jacques Schnee and Tara Platt as Kali Belladonna. Tiana Camacho reprises her role as Glynda Goodwitch from the spinoff anime RWBY: Ice Queendom. Rounding out the film's cast are Ozioma Akagha (Half-Life: Alyx) as Mari Jiwe McCabe/Vixen, David Errigo Jr. (Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe) as Barry Allen/the Flash and Rolf, Jeannie Tirado (Fire Emblem: Three Houses) as Jessica Cruz/Green Lantern and Tru Valentino (The Cuphead Show!) as Victor Stone/Cyborg.
Rooster Teeth, DC and Warner Bros. have also revealed the first still from Super Heroes & Huntsmen, featuring the RWBY crossover universe's versions of Batman and Superman alongside the franchise's own Ruby and Weiss. "Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern and Vixen are transported to the strange world of Remnant and find themselves turned into teenagers," THR's synopsis reads. "Meanwhile, Remnant heroes Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang must combine forces with the Justice League to uncover why their planet has been mysteriously altered before a superpowered Grimm destroys everything." The film is written by Meghan Fitzmartin and directed by RWBY showrunner Kerry Shawcross.
Worlds Collide in Justice League x RWBY
Super Heroes & Huntsmen is based on the crossover comic book limited series RWBY/Justice League by Marguerite Bennett, Aneke and Mirka Andolfo, which launched as a DC digital-first title in 2021. That said, the film's synopsis implies that it will not be a one-to-one adaptation of the comic, but will instead put a fresh spin on the crossover concept. For instance, the comic did not include the plot point of the Justice League being transported to the RWBY universe. (Rather, the comic takes place in an alternate version of RWBY canon where versions of the DC characters already exist in the universe.) The movie also adds one-time Suicide Squad member Vixen as a featured player, seemingly in the place of Aquaman. It remains to be seen if RWBY's take on DC's Starro the Conqueror will remain the main villain of the piece, or if our heroes will have a new big bad to take down.
Created by the late, great Monty Oum, RWBY originally launched from Rooster Teeth in 2013. The main series currently has eight seasons under its belt, with a ninth expected to debut in early 2023. Meanwhile, Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One is slated to release on Digital, 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray in spring 2023.
