Matt Bomer Joins DC Universe's DOOM PATROL
DC UNIVERSE surprised fans tonight with a pair of Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn announcements during the world premiere screening of Warner Bros. Television's highly anticipated action-drama Titans at New York Comic Con (NYCC). Doom Patrol's Brendan Fraser made a special appearance to reveal some exciting casting news. Titans debuts October 12, 2018, on the DC UNIVERSE digital subscription service, with new episodes unveiled each Friday.
Brendan Fraser (Crash, The Mummy, Gods and Monsters) took to the stage to share some updates directly from the set of Doom Patrol. Fraser is starring in the series as THE VOICE of Robotman, and he will also portray Cliff Steele in flashback scenes.
Fraser revealed that Matt Bomer (White Collar, American Horror Story, The Normal Heart) has also joined the Doom Patrol team. Bomer will provide the voiceover performance for the character of Negative Man, and he will also appear as Larry Trainor in flashback scenes. Bomer further surprised fans with a special video greeting from the Atlanta-based set, exclusively for those in attendance at NYCC.
Matthew Zuk has been cast in the role of Negative Man, and he will provide the physical performance of the character on set in costume. (Riley Shanahan was previously announced as the actor providing the physical performance of Robotman in costume.)
In addition to Fraser and Bomer, Doom Patrol stars Joivan Wade as Victor Stone/Cyborg, Timothy Dalton as Niles Caulder/The Chief, April Bowlby as Elasti-Woman, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane and Alan Tudyk as Mr. Nobody.
