James Gunn's DCU finds 'Mister Miracle' series leads, Josh Hutcherson and Mackenzie Davis

Josh Hutcherson and Mackenzie Davis to voice Scott Free and Big Barda in DCU's adult animated 'Mister Miracle' series

DC Studios has cast Josh Hutcherson as Scott Free, also known as Mister Miracle, and Mackenzie Davis as Big Barda in its upcoming adult animated series, expanding James Gunn's DC Universe (DCU).

DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran confirmed the casting in an interview with IGN, revealing that the series will adapt the comic book run by Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads.

King, who also worked on HBO's Lanterns, has written all eight episodes and serves as showrunner, while Gerads is attached as a producer.

Safran discussed the project's development, saying King had adapted the source material himself. He also highlighted the story's exploration of how people navigate life's unanswered questions.

The animated series will follow Scott Free and Big Barda, two characters associated with the New Gods and Justice League International in DC Comics lore.

Its release platform has not yet been confirmed, although HBO Max has been speculated as a possible destination.

Mister Miracle joins a growing list of DCU animated projects featuring characters who could also appear in live-action productions.

King has also indicated that Mister Miracle will have wider implications for the developing franchise. In January 2026, he discussed the search for a suitable actor and designs for Darkseid, a major figure in the comic storyline.
