Our favorite teen detective, Kristen “Veronica Mars” Bell, joins the A-list cast of Imagi’s Astro Boy. Bell will play the female lead, joining Nicolas Cage as De. Tenma and Nathan Lane as HamEgg. Astro Boy follows the construction of a friendly robot boy who is eventually forced to fight crime in a not-so-friendly, futuristic Metro City. This isn’t Bell’s first voice work: She’s been narrating Gossip Girl for a full season. [Variety]
