The all-star lineup for DC FanDome 2021 has been announced and the humongous list features cast, crew, and creators from a variety of movies, TV shows, comics, and games.
The guest list for this year's global streaming event, scheduled to air on October 16, features dozens of notable names, including big hitters such as Matt Reeves, Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz, which means we're likely to hear more news and chatter around The Batman — in addition to getting to see a brand new trailer for the film.
Dwayne Johnson, Noah Centineo, Pierce Brosnan, Aldis Hodge, and Quintessa Swindell are also in attendance, so we should expect some updates on Black Adam, while the virtual stage also gears up to invite The Flash star Ezra Miller to the spotlight. Grant Gustin and Candice Patton from The CW superhero show are also listed as attendees.
While we knew that Warner Bros. Games will showcase new reveals from the highly anticipated Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, interestingly, Ed Boon, the creator of the Injustice games series, is also set to make an appearance. Epic CCO Donald Mustard is also listed, meaning we can likely expect a Fortnite announcement too.
Jason Momoa and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are both along for the ride, so hopefully, that signals some incoming news for Aquaman 2. Similarly, Zachary Levi is part of the proceedings, so we're expecting to hear more about Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Injustice movie voice actor Anson Mount is also there, presumably for the project's first look.
From the world of DC television, the likes of Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Jordan Elsass, and Alex Garfin are in attendance from The CW's Superman & Lois, together with a roster of cast members from other popular shows such as Batwoman, Sweet Tooth, and Supergirl, which is set to get a farewell tribute as it approaches its epic conclusion after six seasons.
HBO Max will show off the Suicide Squad spinoff Peacemaker, with James Gunn making an appearance at the event. John Cena, who stars as the show's title character, reprising his role from The Suicide Squad, will also take to the stage alongside his fellow co-stars Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, and Chukwudi Iwuji.
The DC Comics contingent is expected to focus heavily on Wonder Woman, highlighting three new books, though there are also plans to show more of the Batman/Fortnite comic crossover, Batman: Fear State, the Black Manta miniseries, and the return of Milestone Universe, with DC publisher and chief creative officer Jim Lee also confirmed to be there.
DC FanDome found success as a virtual event in August 2020, having been conceived in the wake of the cancellation of San Diego Comic-Con that same year. Virtual panels covered many of the top films due at that time, including the Snyder Cut of Justice League and The Batman. The event was ultimately viewed by 22 million people in more than 220 countries.
The second-annual virtual DC FanDome premieres on October 16 at 10 am Pacific / 1 pm Eastern / 6pm UK (that's October 17 at 3 am AEST). Check out IGN for all the latest trailers, news, and announcements from the show.
