Today, we at Knight Edge Media have learned that a casting call has gone out for the role of Jessica Cruz in the upcoming animated series, My Adventures with Green Lantern. The series was announced back in February and will be a spin-off series set in the same universe as My Adventures with Superman.
[ JESSICA CRUZ ] – 18 and older to play 14-15, Latina. PLEASE NOTE: This role will sing in the series, looking for talent who can sing. Jessica had a normal childhood: she played softball, hung out with her best friends Kyle and Nikki, and stayed out of trouble. But Jess’ life collapsed when everyone around her hit puberty and got mean. Betrayed by friends and bullied out of softball, Jess withdrew. Better to be small and safe than to be yourself and get hurt. We meet Jess at the top of high school: a chronically anxious freshman who starts the year hoping to keep her head down and get by… but who ends up being chosen by a magic ring to be the cosmic champion of all life–the Green Lantern. Despite her fear, anxiety, and her low opinion of herself, Jess will find that she does have the tenacity and courage to meet this challenge, to become the world’s greatest hero. KEYWORDS: Lovable, relatable, plucky, overthinker, ball of anxiety. SERIES REGULAR. VOICE OVER
South Korean animation studio Studio Mir will return to animate the series in their signature anime art style. DC Studios is producing the project, but it’s expected to be an Elseworlds story, not connected to the Green Lantern live-action series on HBO Max. Sarah Noonan and Agnes Kim will serve as casting directors on the show.
