Raging Bull actress Cathy Moriarty also joined the Scooby-Doo: Origins cast in an unknown recurring role, like Three Stacks.
The rest of the cast is rounded out by Mckenna Grace (Daphne), Tanner Hagen (Shaggy), Abby Ryder Fortson (Velma) and Maxwell Jenkins (Fred). Toby Haynes is onboard to executive produce and direct the series’ first episode.
The Grammy-winning rapper has a plethora of acting experience. He starred as Jimi Hendrix in 2013’s Jimi: All Is By My Side biopic and notched roles in High Life, Four Brothers, Idlewild, Revolver and Be Cool.
André 3000 has dabbled in the cartoon universe in the past. He created Class of 3000, which aired from 2006 through 2008 and served as the last Cartoon Network original series.
Since Outkast stopped recording (the duo’s last album arrived in 2006), the 51-year-old has been experimenting outside of rap. He released the 7 Piano Sketches project in 2025, and delivered his New Blue Sun flute album in 2023.
