Doctor Manhattan over images from Watchmen
Summary The Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins graphic novel Watchmen is set to receive a new adaptation from DC animation, and many details, including information about its release date, trailer, and more are now available. Following the 2009 Zack Snyder film and an HBO series, it has become evident that Watchmen is not nearly as unfilmable or unadaptable as many used to believe.
The first teaser trailer for the new Watchmen was released in June 2024, along with the announcement that the film would be split into two parts. This led to speculation that the animated feature may more faithfully adapt the original graphic novel content, both due to its animated format but also because of its ability to split the story up. The trailer showed the unique animation of the films and gave a first look at some of the characters.
Watchmen Chapter 1 & 2 Cast Close IGN released the casting details of the upcoming Watchmen films on July 10, 2024. Matthew Rhys, star of The Americans and Perry Mason, will lend his voice to the Dan Dreiberg iteration of Nite Owl, or Nite Owl II. Played by Patrick Wilson in the Zack Snyder film, Dreiberg comes out of retirement after discovering that The Comedian has been killed. This central role is one of the most important in the movie.
Additional stars from various mediums have been added to the Watchmen cast. Troy Baker, best known for voicing Joel in The Last of Us video games, and Yuri Lowenthal from Insomniac's Spider-Man are set to voice Ozymandias and Wally Weaver respectively. Other cast members, including X2's Kelly Hu and The Simpsons' Grey DeLisle will be lending their voices to the films, although it is currently unclear what roles they will be playing.
It is unclear how restrictive the films intend to be, but certain story details of the Watchmen book, including alien squids and the Black Freighter, did not make it into the theatrical Snyder film. This has led to speculation that this new film may be able to adapt the original graphic novel more directly. There have also been ancillary Watchmen comic books that told additional characters' stories in the years since.
