JokeractorMarc Maronis set to return to the supervillain world inDC League of Super-Pets, where he will be voicing Superman’s greatest enemy, Lex Luthor. He joins a star-studded cast led byDwayne Johnsonas the Man of Steel’s canine, Krypto the Superdog.
The comedian-actor dropped the news on hisWTF with Marc Maronpodcast, revealing he would voice the iconic DC Comics villain in the upcoming animated movie set for the big screen next year. Unfortunately, it’s unclear if Luthor will have a pet of his own to combat the League of Super-Pets but rest assured he probably isn’t happy with the formation of the latest superhero team. Perhaps he has an equally bald cat that does his evil bidding. Whatever the case may be, Maron joins a stacked supporting cast that includesKevin Hartas Ace the Bat-Hound,Keanu Reeves,John Krasinski,Vanessa Bayer,Kate McKinnon,Natasha Lyonne, andDiego Luna.
