The DC Universe is as big as the Marvel-verse, with countless characters, storylines, universes, and narratives. Among the plethora of superhero team-ups within the world of DC comics and cinematic universe, the Teen Titans are among the most favored by fans. From young fans to older ones, the Teen Titans have existed as a beloved superhero team in the DC fandom.
Although a Teen Titans live-action movie was not announced along with the official roaster of upcoming DC projects, fans have been dying to see a live-action movie version for decades after getting a series. Furthermore, with James Gunn as DC head, many reckon the Teen Titan lore may get a more interesting and reinterpreted adaptation.
However, recently, it has been rumored that after years of longing and waiting, the many loyal fans of DC will finally get a live-action version of the young superheroes in a new movie (via X). While these are just rumors with no concrete evidence to back them, fans have had their favorite fan-casting for years. So without further ado, here are 6 actors and the characters they should play in the rumored movie:
Dylan O’Brien as Robin
A perfect blend of youthful energy and acting prowess, Dylan O’Brien is the ideal actor for the role of Robin. Known for being extremely determined and driven, O’Brien has shown his leadership qualities in the many past roles he has undertaken.
Known for his charisma and looks, the actor can portray Dick Grayson or any other iteration of Robin. Furthermore, from being able to convey complex emotions to showcasing his character’s agility and physical strength, O’Brien as Robin would seem more than convincing enough to play the titular leader of the Teen Titans.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Beast Boy
The Maze Runner star and co-star of Dylan O’Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster is more than a perfect choice to portray Beast Boy. From his looks to his versatility as an actor, Sangster can perfectly bring the humor and depth of the iconic Teen Titan character in the rumored live-action movie.
Furthermore, the actor, despite his age has a youthful charm and looks to bring Beast Boy’s playfulness and complexities to life. His previous projects stand as a testament to Sangster’s incredible acting range, which can be instrumental in capturing Garfield Logan’s transformation into a formidable superhero while keeping his boyish charms alive.
Odeya Rush as Raven
One of the rising young actors of Hollywood, Odeya Rush has an enigmatic screen presence that makes any work of hers a delight to watch. From Goosebumps to Let It Snow, the actress has showcased compelling performances that effortlessly convey the depth of her characters.
And so, the actress seems to be the perfect choice for Raven as she can portray the mysterious and fierce character with the perfect hint of vulnerability. From capturing Raven’s dark past to her constant emotional battle, Rush is an amazing choice if the live-action version movie of Teen Titans is ever made.
Sinqua Walls as Cyborg
At 38, Sinqua Walls might be a bit too old to star as Cyborg but his commanding screen presence and acting skills make him a strong contender for the role of Cyborg. From portraying the character’s emotional depth and complexity, Walls’ experience will help capture the complicated character’s true nature and bring it effortlessly to life.
Furthermore, the actor also possesses the physicality and intensity required for such a role. Not only would his performance help in bringing the character’s humanity to the screen but will also help to balance the character’s duality and multifacetedness.
Katherine McNamara as Starfire
The American actress Katherine McNamara, best known for her role in Shadowhunters and Arrow, has the perfect blend of charm, charisma, and youthfulness for the role of Starfire in a Teen Titans live-action movie. Seeing her past projects and links with DC, the actress can perfectly portray strong and independent characters while keeping the vulnerability hidden.
From her compelling onscreen presence to her looks, the actress’ casting would help the production to remain faithful to the beloved Teen Titans animated series as well. Furthermore, McNamara’s charming yet commanding on-screen presence can help capture the true essence of the character, making her a perfect choice.
Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Nightwing
From charisma to his brooding demeanor, if there is an actor on this list who can be the perfect human embodiment of a Teen Titans character, it is Hero Fiennes Tiffin. While the original Robin aka Dick Grayson eventually goes to become Nightwing, there are numerous iterations of Robin. And if the rumored live-action movie is to feature different Robins, Tiffin can be the perfect choice to portray Nightwing.
From his physicality to his looks. Fiennes Tiffin has it all when it comes to portraying a character like Nightwing. Furthermore, he has already proven what an impeccable actor he is, making him the number one choice to bring Nightwing’s brooding, confident, and witty self to life.
