DC Studios Has Officially Cast Its New Robin
DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran confirmed that Mason Thames will voice Dick Grayson in the animated film *Dynamic Duo*. The announcement matters because the 2028 film will follow two Robins and sit outside the main DC Universe continuity.
Directed by Arthur Mintz, *Dynamic Duo* is scheduled for release on 22 September 2028 and will combine miniatures, puppetry, animatronics and CGI. Logan Kim, Marsai Martin, Lee Pace and Steve Buscemi have also been reported as cast members, in roles including Jason Todd, Barbara Gordon and two Red Hoods; those casting reports have not been confirmed by Safran in the article.
In short
- Mason Thames is confirmed as Dick Grayson in *Dynamic Duo*.
- The animated film features both Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.
- It is due on 22 September 2028 and will be outside the DCU.
Explained simply
Robin is the name used by several young crime-fighting partners of Batman in DC Comics. Dick Grayson was the first Robin, while Jason Todd later took the role; both characters have also been known as Red Hood.
DC Studios makes films and television based on DC characters, with Peter Safran serving as one of its co-chief executives. Its main DC Universe continuity connects stories across different projects, while some films are made as separate stories. Dynamic Duo is planned as an animated film about two Robins, using miniatures, puppetry, animatronics and computer-generated imagery.
