Warner Bros. is developing a Wonder Twins or Fantastic Twins movie, with the writer of Black Adam, in for HBO Max.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, “Warner Bros. is activating the power of the Wonder Twins” by developing a movie about the Wonder Twins.
To do this, it has hired Adam Sztykiel, who worked on Black Adam, to write and direct the film for the HBO Max subscription content system. The project will be titled Wonder Twins.
The Fantastic Twins or Wonder Twins “are a pair of alien siblings named Zan and Jayna. They imprinted themselves on a generation of viewers thanks to their appearance on Hanna-Barbera’s The All-New Super Friends Hour as the young sidekicks of grown-up heroes like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. The duo later appeared in the Super Friends comic and eventually became part of the DC Universe.”
“The twins were known for their catchphrase, Wonder Twin powers, activate!, which they said before Jayna transformed into any animal, while Zan transformed into… the many forms of water. Although the characters became the butt of jokes and, in modern times, memes, DC has also tried to update and expand on the characters, who have also appeared in episodes of Teen Titans Go!, Smallville, and The Flash.”
Zan and Jayna debuted in Super Friends #7 comic, October 1977, written by E. Nelson Bridwell and drawn by Ramona Fradon, soon jumping to the Super Friends animated series.
