Dwayne Johnson will be lending his voice to Krypto the Superdog in the Warner Bros. movie, DC League of Super Pets. This is the second time Johnson has been casted in an animated movie. Previously, he voiced the Polynesian demigod Maui in Disney’s box-office hit, Moana.
DC League of Super Pets features Superman’s dog The Krypto who teams up with a flying cat to stop crime while Superman is on vacation.

It is a team of super powered animals including Krypto the Superdog, Streaky the Supercat, Beppo the Super-Monkey and Comet the Super-Horse who fights crime together in secret. It was first introduced in 1962.
However, the studio has not released the rest of cast details yet but the sources suggest that the studio hopes to set an A-list cast to voice the other two and four legged heroes and villains in DC League of Super-Pets.
The movie is directed and written by Jared Stern along with Sam Levine who serves as the co-director. In addition to voicing the main character, Johnson is also producing the movie through his Seven Bucks production along with his partners Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia.
