Here's the cast of 'My Adventures with Superman' and where you might have seen them before
Adult Swim's "My Adventures with Superman" offers a new take on the Man of Steel.
The cast includes some surprisingly big names.
Here's where you might have seen them before.
Audiences have seen plenty of Superman stories over the last decade, with Henry Cavill playing the Man of Steel on the big screen in the DC Extended Universe, while Tyler Hoechlin donned the cape and tights in The CW's Arrowverse. DC fans even got to see Nicolas Cage finally play his version of Superman from the canceled "Superman Lives" movie in 2023's "The Flash."
But Adult Swim and Warner Bros.' Max streaming service are spinning up a fresh animated take on the iconic hero in "My Adventures with Superman," which follows a younger version of the hero as he starts to make a name for himself in Metropolis.
Here is the voice cast and the iconic characters they're playing.
Jack Quaid as Clark Kent/Superman
First up among the "My Adventures with Superman" cast is Jack Quaid as Clark Kent/Superman.
The star is no stranger to the superhero genre since he's best known for his role as Hughie Campbell in Amazon's "The Boys," a violent satire of comic book movies and shows.
Quaid has also starred in "The Hunger Games," 2022's "Scream," and 2023's "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse."
Alice Lee as Lois Lane
Any good Superman story needs Lois Lane, and Alice Lee has joined the "My Adventures with Superman" cast as the plucky reporter.
The 34-year-old star previously played Emily Kang in "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" on NBC, and she's also known for Matthew Coppola's 2022 movie, "Broken Soldier."
Ishmel Sahid as Jimmy Olsen
Another member of the Daily Planet crew is photographer Jimmy Olsen, who is voiced by Ishmel Sahid.
Fans might recognize the star from Nickelodeon's "Cousins for Life," as well as Amazon Freevee's surprise hit sitcom, "Jury Duty," as juror 13, Lonnie Coleman.
Michael Emerson as Brainiac
"My Adventures with Superman" will include one of the Caped Crusader's most famous villains: Brainiac.
The cyborg baddie is occasionally tied to the destruction of Krypton in the comics.
Michael Emerson confirmed in 2022 that he'll be voicing Brainiac, describing him as a "rogue AI who now controls the whole Kryptonian empire."
This definitely makes sense, since Emerson has vast experience playing villains in "Lost," "Evil," and "Saw."
Kiana Madeira as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl
Quaid's Superman won't be the only Kryptonian in the show, as Kiana Madeira will voice Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl.
Kara is Superman's cousin and a key part of the mythology surrounding him.
Madeira recently starred in the 2021 "Fear Street" trilogy of movies on Netflix, playing both Deena and Sarah Fier.
Jeannie Tirado as Lana Lang
Lana Lang, another love interest for Clark Kent, is also part of the series and she'll be voiced by Jeannie Tirado.
The actor recently voiced Pan in the English dub of 2023's "Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero," Hoshiyama in Netflix's "Ultraman," and Principal Arroyo in Pixar's "Soul."
Michael Yurchak as Winslow Schott
Rounding out the "My Adventures with Superman" cast is Michael Yurchak as Winslow Schott.
Interestingly, the character is a villain called the Toyman in the comics. Harry Czerny recently played him in the "Supergirl" TV series.
Yurchak also provided numerous voices for Netflix's "Ultraman" series, and had roles in "The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two," and "Tacoma FD."
"My Adventures with Superman" premieres on Adult Swim and Max on July 6.
Correction: July 10, 2023 — An earlier version of this story mischaracterized Winslow Schott as one of Kara Zor-El's friends in the "Supergirl" TV series. That was his son, Winslow Schott Jr.
