HBO Max’s Wonder Twins Sets Director for Live-Action DC Film

Warner Bros. Pictures is currently in the process of developing HBO Max’s next live-action DC film, centering around super-powered alien siblings the Wonder Twins. The studio has officially enlisted Black Adam scribe Adam Sztykiel to write and direct the project.

The Wonder Twins film adaptation will be produced by Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey through their Temple Hill production banner. Further details about its plot are still being kept under wraps.

The titular DC duo is comprised of brother and sister Zan and Jayna from the planet of Exxor. They can only activate their powers by fist-bumping and saying their famous catchphrase, “Wonder Twin powers activate!” Both of them have shapeshifting abilities, with Jayna capable to transform into any animal, while Zan can turn into various forms of water.

Created by Norman Maurer, William Hanna, and Joseph Barbera, they first appeared in the 1970s animated series The All-New Super Friends Hour. The upcoming project will mark the heroic duo’s live-action feature debut.

The project will be part of HBO Max’s growing list of upcoming live-action DC projects including series adaptations of John Constantine, Justice League Dark, Madame X, Val-Zod, and Green Lantern as well as film adaptations of Zatanna and Batgirl.
