Riverdale’s KJ Apa and1883’s Isabel May are joining the DC Universe as they are set as the leads for HBO Max’s Wonder Twins. While the DCEU is expanding on the big screen, Warner Bros. is also taking the opportunity of utilizing HBO Max for their DC content. Since the launch of the HBO-branded streaming service, the studio has slowly started to add projects that either tie into the cinematic universe or stand on their own.

One of the upcoming DC films that are in the works at HBO Max is Wonder Twins, taking the iconic Super-Friends heroes into the world of film. The DC siblings-starring movie was first announced back in February as Black Adam writer Adam Sztykiel is set to direct the HBO Max picture. He is also penning the script for the film, which will mark Sztykiel's directorial debut. While the Wonder Twins have been heavily featured in animation, this will be the first time they star in their own solo movie.
