With six explorable hubs and 24 solid hours of content, it’s not a huge surprise that the virtual DC FanDome event happening August 22 is also stacked with talent. But as the just-released talent list breaks down, it’s basically everyone you’d expect from an event bringing together the worlds of DC Comics based movies, TV shows, video games and — oh, right — comics.
Arguably the centerpiece of the event (and I use the word “arguably” because there is going to be so much arguing about this) is director Zack Snyder, who is bringing along a look at his highly anticipated cut of Justice League that will be making its way to HBO Max next year. Also on the roster are Gal Gadot, who will also be plugging Wonder Woman 1984 and Ezra Miller, who also stars in the long-delayed The Flash movie. Noticeably absent are Henry Cavill (Superman), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Ray Fisher (Cyborg) and Ben Affleck (Batman).
However, if want to get your Bat-fix, you’ll have plenty of options, including Robert Pattinson, who will be teasing his reboot The Batman; and Javicia Leslie, who was recently announced as the new face of Batwoman, and will be making her first “public” appearance to support the role.
There’s also the presumption of — potentially — a lot more announcements. Though Warner Bros. had a modest presence at this past July’s Comic-Con@Home, the majority of their big-name superhero series and movies sat out the event. As for where a lot of the eyeballs will be going, there’s the aforementioned Justice League movie (or TV series, which Snyder promises he’ll explain more about at the event), as well as the other “spinoffs.” But you’ve also got questions about the future of the DC Universe subscription service series like Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn. And a panel for HBO’s Emmy nomination dominating Watchmen is sure to raise questions from showrunner Damon Lindelof about the status of a Season 2.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though. There are a slew of other names packing the panels, with talent from Aquaman, SHAZAM!, The Suicide Squad, Black Adam (yep, The Rock is gonna be there), Black Lightning, DC Super Hero Girls, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, DC’s Stargirl, The Flash, Lucifer, Pennyworth, Supergirl, Superman & Lois, Teen Titans GO!, Titans, and Young Justice: Outsiders among many, many more.
Unlike Comic-Con@Home, which existed mostly on YouTube, DC FanDome is a decidedly different virtual convention experiment. Taking place on its own, dedicated website, the completely free 24-hour long event will exist in six virtual hubs:
Short version, it’s a website where you can watch a bunch of Zoom-style panels and download some fun stuff; but based on some initial, advance teasers, the Warner Bros. owned company certainly seems to be implying there will also be some sort of virtual world component. Will you create an avatar? Get sucked into the digital world? Find out you are the only one that can save the digital and real worlds???
As of press time, it was unclear on whether if you die in the game, you die for real; but regardless, there’s a lot of talent to check out, including a list of hosts and special guests that counts Will Arnett, Venus Williams (really), Aisha Tyler and more in their impressive ranks.
Though it is free, DC FanDome will exist on a specialized website, DCFanDome.com, which will open for the virtual con at 7am ET/10am PT on August 22, and run for a full day. The site will be available in multiple languages including Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.
Here’s the full list of talent to check and see if your fave made the cut, and presumably panels and more info will roll out as we get closer to DC FanDome’s debut on August 22 at 10am PDT.
