Moana Star Auli'i Cravalho Debuts as Jessica Cruz in My Adventures with Superman S3

Moana star Auli'i Cravalho is making waves in the animated DC universe! Cravalho will voice Jessica Cruz, the future Green Lantern, in the second episode of My Adventures with Superman Season 3. This isn't just a cameo; it's an early debut for the character, set to headline her own spin-off, My Adventures with Green Lantern.

Fans already know My Adventures with Superman for its vibrant, anime-inspired take on the Man of Steel, often drawing comparisons to Dragon Ball Z. Now, the introduction of Jessica Cruz offers a fascinating glimpse into the expanding animated world. Showrunner Jake Wyatt explained that they wanted Cruz to offer a "girl-on-the-street" perspective on Supergirl's impact. Casting Cravalho was a no-brainer for the team; Wyatt praised her "complexity of emotion" and "natural, almost oblivious charm" for the shy, pre-Lantern teen.

While we're still waiting for promos for the Green Lantern spin-off, Wyatt has hinted it will draw inspiration from a "very different part" of the Toonami block than Superman's shonen influences. This suggests a distinct tone for Jessica's future adventures. Superman Season 3 itself promises new challenges, with Clark embracing his role, Lois thriving as a star reporter, and Kara finding her place on Earth amidst escalating threats. It's an exciting time for this burgeoning animated DC universe.
