Live action series ‘Stargirl’ to debut in DC Universe
News coming out of WonderCon 2019 being held in Anaheim, California, earlier unveiled a first-look image of Stargirl from the upcoming DC Universe original live action series “Stargirl.” Based on DC characters created by Geoff Johns, from Berlanti Productions and Mad Ghost Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, the new “Stargirl” series will star Brec Bassinger as Courtney Whitmore (aka Stargirl) and Luke Wilson as Pat Dugan (aka Stripe).
You might recognize the 19-year-old Bassinger from her earlier roles in “Bella and the Bulldogs,” “School of Rock” and “The Goldbergs.”
Her “Stargirl” super suit was designed by renowned costume designer Laura Jean Shannon, whose credits include “Titans,” “Doom Patrol,” “Black Lightning” and “Jumanji,” among others.
“Stargirl” is set to debut in early 2020 on the DC Universe digital subscription service. Johns created the series and will serve as the showrunner.
With her cosmic staff and star-spangled costume, Bassinger looks pretty perfect and close to what we’ve seen in Courtney’s comic book appearances. But we can’t help noticing the half-obscured robotic-looking figure in the background. Could that be her frequent partner STRIPE? We know that the oversized robot will be a part of the show, after all. ~ per DC Comics
