https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...morgan-1177354Last Man on Earth star Will Forte, Jane the Virgin star Gina Rodriguez, Tracy Morgan and Frank Welker are going for a ride in the Mystery Machine.
The actors have closed deals to voice star in the untitled Scooby-Doo animated movie being made by Warner Bros. and its Warner Animation Group division.
Tony Cervone is directing the feature, which counts Chris Columbus, Charles Roven and Allison Abbate are producers.
The project brings to the big screen for the first time since 2004’s live-action Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed the mysterious and borderline supernatural hijinks of four teens and their (borderline) talking Great Dane, Scooby-Doo.
Rodriguez will voice Velma, known as the brains of the group. Forte will voice Shaggy, the scaredy-cat slacker who is best friends with Scooby. Morgan will voice a character not part of the Scooby universe, but rather part of the larger Hanna-Barbera cartoon universe, Captain Caveman.
The story sees the Mystery Inc. gang join forces with other heroes of the Hanna-Barbera universe to save the world from Dick Dastardly and his evil plans...and this time, we are told, the threat is real. The movie is slated for a May 2020 release.
Rodriguez, who in 2018 appeared with Natalie Portman in the sci-fi thriller Annihilation, voiced a character in Smallfoot, an animated offering from Warner’s animated arm, WAG. She is repped by CAA and Jackoway Tyerman.
Forte, who for a decade appeared on Saturday Night Live, recently voiced the part of Abraham Lincoln in Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. He recently wrapped a dramatic role in Laundromat, directed by Steven Soderbergh and also starring Meryl Streep and Gary Oldman.
SNL and 30 Rock alum Morgan will voice Captain Caveman. He also has the Netflix animated series Green Eggs and Ham coming up.
Veteran voice actor Welker's relationship with Scooby-Doo dates to the 1972-73 series The New Scooby-Doo Movies.

....Dick Dastardly should not be a world ending villain. Dude just wants to win a race or get a medal. Thats it. Otherwise it seems neat.

I kind of hope this movie borrows elements from. or has nods to, the other crossover series HB did in the past...most of them centred around Yogi Bear as the leader, so if they could get him involved, or have them all take orders from Top Cat like they did in "Treasure Hunt" or we get a Laff-A-Lympics sequence, I'm down

Bet he won't be the main bad guy but bet he will accidentally release the main bad guy or main threat and will have to team up at the end.....Dick Dastardly should not be a world ending villain. Dude just wants to win a race or get a medal. Thats it. Otherwise it seems neat.
Remember the universal studios ride?

Not sure how interested I am in another Scooby/HB crossover, but I can respect Will Forte voicing Shaggy for a little while and I'm glad they're keeping Frank Welker. It could be alright.
Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

Poor Lillard. He should be voicing Shaggy but see how Forte goes.
I wonder if Frank Welker is voicing Fred, and I wonder who voices Daphne.

Just imagine, it should have been the villains from Space Ghost (Zorak, Brak, Metallus, Moltar, Creature King, Black Widow, and Lokar) instead.

The movie will be called "SCOOB" and is apparently an origin story, the first look at Scooby has also been revealed
https://www.annecy.org/programme/index:rdv-200001501265Scooby-Doo is the hero of his own story in "SCOOB!," the first full-length, theatrical animated Scooby-Doo adventure, which reveals how he and his best friend Shaggy became two of the world's most beloved crime busters. The story takes us back to where it all began, when a young Scooby and Shaggy first meet, and team up with Daphne, Velma and Fred to launch Mystery Incorporated.
