Auli'i Cravalho to Voice Green Lantern in My Adventures with Superman
Auli'i Cravalho, best known for voicing Moana, has joined My Adventures with Superman as the voice of Jessica Cruz, who will become a Green Lantern. The reimagined teenage Cruz will appear in Season 3, Episode 2 before leading the spin-off My Adventures with Green Lantern.
Showrunner Jake Wyatt praised Cravalho's audition: "Casting brought us a lot of fantastic reads for Jessica. But when I heard Auli’i, there was this complexity of emotion to her read — a natural, almost oblivious charm that she brought to Jess — and I knew she was the one.
But I hadn’t even looked at the name, I just ran out of my office like, 'Have ya’ll heard this take??' Then Stephanie [Gonzaga] and Karen [Graci] told me that it was Auli’i, that she was already a princess, how she’d done brilliant work with Karen on a previous show, and that was that." Jessica Cruz is DC Comics' first human female Green Lantern, teased in Green Lantern #20 in 2013 and making her full debut in Justice League #31 in 2014.
