They are the first of several celebrities lending their talents for additional DC characters in the project.

"Every superhero in the DC Universe has an impact on the fans, so we felt a great responsibility to find a voice for each character that would not only suit the role, but the playful tone of the Titans, and we're thrilled with our cameo cast," says executive producer Sam Register.

In the film, Batman sidekick Robin (Scott Menville), alien warrior Starfire (Hynden Walch), half-demon Raven (Tara Strong), human/android hybrid Cyborg (Khary Payton) and shapeshifter Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) seeking out a popular Hollywood director (Kristen Bell) for their big pop-culture break.

Nicolas Cage, is an American actor, director and producer. During his early career, Cage starred in a variety of films such as Valley Girl, Raising Arizona, Moonstruck, and Honeymoon in Vegas. Cage received an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance as an alcoholic Hollywood writer in Leaving Las Vegas before coming to the attention of wider audiences with mainstream films, such as The Rock and City of Angels. He earned his second Academy Award nomination for his performance as Charlie and Donald Kaufman in Adaptation. He has also appeared in National Treasure, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and starred in The Croods, Joe and Mom and Dad.

Halsey began her music career by touring with acts such as The Kooks and Imagine Dragons to promote her debut extended play, Room 93. Her debut studio album, Badlands, was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Four singles were released from the album, all of which achieved minor commercial success. Halsey rose to prominence with "Closer" (2016), a collaboration with The Chainsmokers. The song topped the charts in major music markets. Her second studio album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (2017), consisted of more "radio friendly" music than her prior releases.
