The DC Universe needs a complete reboot, and maybe the most thrilling aspect of the future is a live-action Teen Titans movie. With the Justice League going on a break, it’s time to reveal the next generation of teen heroes — and the right stars could make this roster immortal. Here are our dream actors to visualize the Titans, starting from ten and counting down to one.
10. Xolo Maridueña as Blue Beetle
Xolo Maridueña has already proven he can carry a superhero film with Blue Beetle, delivering charm, humor, and heart in equal measure. Add his martial arts skills from Cobra Kai, and you’ve got a tech-savvy, quick-witted hero who would slot into the Titans seamlessly. He’s already got the DCU cred — now just give him the team to match.
9. Asher Angel as Superboy (Conner Kent)
Asher Angel proved that he could do comedy and heart-rending drama with Shazam! and Shazam! Fury of the Gods. As Conner Kent, he could tap into Superboy’s angsty teenage years, self-discovery, and cocky superhero attitude. The DCEU era is over, but Angel could bring a fresh, nuanced take on Superman’s clone son.
8. Walker Scobell as Impulse (Bart Allen)
Walker Scobell’s sharp wit and limitless energy in Percy Jackson and the Olympians make him a no-brainer for Bart Allen. Impulse is the speedster with a motor mouth and a heart of gold — both of which Scobell possesses in abundance. He might bring a popular favorite combination of mayhem and charm to the movie screen.
7. Spence Moore II as Cyborg
Vic Stone is half man, half machine — but whole heart. Spence Moore II, whose credits include All-American and Superman & Lois, has the charisma, athleticism, and emotional resonance to bring both aspects of Cyborg to life. He could easily play up Vic’s leadership abilities and internal conflict while still getting the action done.
6. Iñaki Godoy as Beast Boy
If you’ve watched Iñaki Godoy shine on Netflix’s One Piece, you’ll know he possesses the endearing goofball vibe that works like a charm for Gar Logan. Beast Boy is both a jokester and a steadfast friend, and Godoy might bring him to the forefront while also bringing the character some actual emotional depth when the time is right.
5. Savannah Smith as Starfire
Starfire requires both regal arrogance and a warm accessibility, and Savannah Smith’s your gal. She’s most famous for Gossip Girl, and she’s shown she can hold the camera’s attention. With her presence and charm, she might be able to fill the alien princess with power and compassion equally well.
4. Gordon Cormier as Robin (Damian Wayne)
Damian Wayne is far from being your ordinary Robin — he’s the sword-wielding, do n’t-mess-with-me Bruce Wayne Jr. Gordon Cormier, who played Aang in Avatar: The Last Airbender recently, has the combat prowess and emotional range to make the character work. He would bring Damian’s intensity as well as his slow-burning journey towards becoming an actual team player.
3. Kyle Allen as The Flash (Wally West)
Wally West is the most lovable Flash, and Kyle Allen (West Side Story, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things) has the charm, athleticism, and passion to bring him to life on screen. His light energy would keep the more serious members of the team in check while still killing it in the big emotional moments.
2. Jenna Ortega as Raven
Raven is a conflicted protagonist, torn between her dark powers and her desire to connect with other people. Jenna Ortega has mastered the craft of playing complex, mysterious characters in Wednesday and Scream. She may be able to bring Raven’s inner conflict to life without taking away from her cool, understated presence.
1. Dylan O’Brien as Nightwing
Dylan O’Brien is our number one of the list. By his action skills already being clear in The Maze Runner and his leader character in Teen Wolf, he is a perfect fit for the role of Dick Grayson. Nightwing is the main focus of the Titans — somewhat a leader, somewhat a big brother — and O’Brien has both the allure and the body to make him indelible.
