Ryan Reynolds, Harry Styles & Sydney Sweeney Lead Cast in Live-Action Scooby-Doo Fan Trailer

by

As a movie enthusiast who has been following the Scooby-Doo franchise since its inception, I must say that this AI-generated trailer for a live-action reboot is nothing short of intriguing! The casting choices are quite unexpected, with Ryan Reynolds as Scooby-Doo (though we don’t get to hear his voice), Harry Styles as Shaggy, Zac Efron as Fred, Sydney Sweeney as Daphne, and Millie Bobby Brown as Velma. It’s a blend of youthful energy and established stardom that promises an exciting twist on the classic mystery-solving team.

Remains as beloved as ever, but let’s not discuss Velma. Currently, multiple animated and live-action productions are being developed for both Max and Netflix featuring Max. However, the intriguing realm of AI-generated trailers has taken the lead to unveil a “what if” concept trailer for a fresh live-action movie, starring an impressive cast.

The trailer, which is narrated by an AI version of Shaggy, brings together some intriguing – and some odd – casting choices to develop a new Mystery Inc. team. Starting from the top, we have the voice of Scooby-Doo being listed as Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds (a bit of a waste considering his supposed Scooby voice is not heard, and he appears in fully canine form removing any kind of celebrity identity), and the role of Shaggy going to pop-star-turned-actor Harry Styles. The rest of the gang comprises of Zac Efron as a very youthful looking Fred, Sydney Sweeney (hilariously credited as Sweeney Sydney in the trailer) as Daphne, and Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown in an unlikely casting as Velma.

The trailer concludes with two questionable characters, one of whom is likely to be revealed as the antagonist by some clever kids. Jacob Elordi portrays a villainous character wearing a hood, while Noah Centineo takes on a handyman role; it’s expected that he will ultimately prove to be the true villain in this production reminiscent of Scooby-Doo mysteries. However, since this version is purely fictional, we can only guess what will happen. Take a look at the video below for more details.

The Future of Scooby-Doo

Presently, different versions of Scooby-Doo are making their way onto screens, along with the revival of the Max series “Velma” this Halloween. This week’s announcement unveiled a special episode titled “Velma: This Halloween Needs a More Memorable Twist!“, which is scheduled to air on Max on October 3. This one-off episode (hoped by many) continues one of the most debated reinterpretations of the long-standing animated series franchise.

As a film enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for fresh content, and that includes the latest animated features dropping directly onto streaming platforms. But here’s something exciting that’s got me intrigued – an upcoming live-action TV series in development by Greg Berlanti, known for his work in the Arrowverse. Details are scarce at the moment, but it’s been hinted to have a similar feel as hit shows like Riverdale. I can hardly wait to see what this new franchise installment brings!

In the meantime before the upcoming release, viewers can enjoy a blast from the past with some timeless Scooby-Doo entertainment freshly added to Max. The beloved ’90s series “A Pup Named Scooby-Doo” has now landed on the platform, offering all 27 episodes for streaming instantly for subscribers. Additionally, animated movies such as “Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island,” “Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost,” “Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase,” and “Aloha! Scooby-Doo” are also available. On the series side, other vintage shows that have recently been added to Max include “The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries,” “The New Scooby-Doo Movies,” and the Vincent Price-led “The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo.
