Scooby-Doo remains a beloved franchise, with multiple animated and live-action projects in development for Max and Netflix. However, an AI-generated trailer has created a buzz by offering a star-studded “what if” concept for a new live-action movie.
In this imaginative trailer, narrated by an AI version of Shaggy, viewers are introduced to an intriguing cast for a new Mystery Inc. team. Ryan Reynolds voices Scooby-Doo, although his portrayal is limited to canine form, while Harry Styles takes on the role of Shaggy. The team also features Zac Efron as a youthful Fred, Sydney Sweeney (credited amusingly as Sweeney Sydney) as Daphne, and Millie Bobby Brown as the unlikely Velma.
The trailer further introduces two questionable characters, Jacob Elordi as a hooded villain and Noah Centineo as a handyman, who is likely to be unmasked as the true antagonist in classic Scooby-Doo style. While this AI-generated version may never come to fruition, it invites speculation among fans.
In addition to this trailer, several official Scooby-Doo projects are on the horizon. Max is set to release a one-off special titled Velma: This Halloween Needs To Be More Special! on October 3, 2024. This installment promises to continue the franchise’s controversial animated series, featuring a star-studded cast including Mindy Kaling and Jane Lynch.
Meanwhile, a new live-action series is being developed for Netflix by Greg Berlanti, reminiscent of popular shows like Riverdale, although details remain scarce. Fans can also enjoy classic Scooby-Doo content now available on Max, including A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and various animated movies, ensuring there’s plenty of nostalgia while they await new adventures.
