Midway through a year of blockbuster superhero movies, Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment have turned the spotlight toward some of the youngest members of the DC Comics universe: the Teen Titans.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies follows the rag-tag group of sidekicks as they aspire for superhero stardom. The film brings the characters from Cartoon Network's Teen Titans Go! to the big screen for the first time since the show's start in 2013.

Writers Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic have packed the comical script with nods to live-action superhero films, poking fun at box-office bombs like 2011's The Green Lantern and the upcoming Aquaman , among others.

The show's original voice actors are joined in the movie by Will Arnett, Kristen Bell, Nicolas Cage and Jimmy Kimmel as the Teen Titans attempt to defeat longtime nemesis Slade (Arnett) on the big screen, following in the superhuman footsteps of their peers.

Find out which actors lend their voices to the film's characters, below.

Miles Parks McCollum , more commonly known as Lil Yachty or sometimes Lil Boat, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He appeared as a guest star voicing Green Lantern in Teen Titans Go! To the Movies .

• 1.1 Rap Career
• 1.2 Teen Titans Go!

History [ ]

Rap career [ ].

On August 23, 1997, Miles McCollum was born in Mableton, Georgia. Growing up, Miles wanted to stand out and express himself. One of his ways of doing this was dying his hair red as a tribute to Ronald McDonald. In his teenage years, McCollum joined a rap group called the Yacht Club, and, being the youngest of the group, he adopted the name Lil Yachty.

After attending college for two months, Lil Yachty dropped out (he later remarked that the whole experience was "trash") and moved from Atlanta to New York. His goal was to perfect his bars and get in touch with producers. For the most part, the trip was a success, but he was far from reaching the top of the game.

SoundCloud, the career kick starter for virtually every modern-day rapper, gave Lil Yatchy a huge break when his 2015 song "One Night" began rolling in the views. His crazy music video for the song brought him even more prominence and fame. In March of 2016, his debut mixtape, Lil Boat was released, and in the following month, a collaboration with Does Real Ass Music on the song "Broccoli" brought Yachty to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

From then on, Miles has sense released the Summer Songs 2 mixtape, the two albums Teenage Emotions and Lil Boat 2 , and has had numerous successful songs and colabs including "iSpy" with SuperDuperKyle, the Coloring Book mixtape with Chance the Rapper, "From the D to the A" with Tee Grizzley, "With My Team" beside Creek Boyz, and numerous others. He has signed off with 3 labels, Quality Control Music, Capitol Records, and Motown Records.

Teen Titans Go! [ ]

Lil Boat's success in rapping brought him a minor role as a voice actor in Teen Titans Go! to the Movies . He voices Green Lantern . It's unknown whether he'll return for any episodes in the TV show .

• The John Stewart Green Lantern has been in Teen Titans Go! before in the episode " Real Boy Adventures ", but he had a non-speaking role. If He appears again, he'll likely be a cameo, and so Lil Yachty prolly won't be needed.

Exclusive: Nicolas Cage plays Superman, Halsey is Wonder Woman in 'Teen Titans GO!'

For superhero cameos, Teen Titans GO! to the Movies went to the music charts and also added an Oscar winner as its Man of Steel.

Nicolas Cage is voicing A-list comic-book icon Superman, singer/songwriter Halsey co-stars as Amazon princess Wonder Woman — who travels around in her signature invisible jet — and rapper Lil Yachty plays Green Lantern in the upcoming animated movie (in theaters July 27) that takes the young heroes of the Cartoon Network show Teen Titans GO! to the big screen. They are the first of several celebrities lending their talents for additional DC characters in the project.

It's an intriguing role for Cage, arguably the most famous Superman fan in Hollywood: He named his son Kal-El (aka the hero's Kryptonian birthname), once owned a rare issue of Superman's 1938 comic debut (and sold it for $2.1 million), and was supposed to play the character in Tim Burton's scrapped 1998 Superman Lives movie.

"Every superhero in the DC Universe has an impact on the fans, so we felt a great responsibility to find a voice for each character that would not only suit the role, but the playful tone of the Titans, and we’re thrilled with our cameo cast," says executive producer Sam Register.

In the film, Batman sidekick Robin (Scott Menville), alien warrior Starfire (Hynden Walch), half-demon Raven (Tara Strong), human/android hybrid Cyborg (Khary Payton) and shapeshifter Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) seeking out a popular Hollywood director (Kristen Bell) for their big pop-culture break.

Lil Yachty Will Voice Green Lantern in New ‘Teen Titans Go!’ Movie

From modeling to fashion design , to rapping to being a social media phenomenon, Lil Yachty 's done a little bit of everything during his time in the spotlight. Now, it looks like the rapper's adding "full-time superhero" to his list. Sort of.

On Monday (Feb. 12) USA Today reported that the Atlanta rapper, who recently delivered a pretty solid freestyle on Hot 97 , will be providing the voice of Green Lantern in a forthcoming Teen Titans Go! movie. Joining him in the film, titled  Teen Titans Go! to the Movies,  will be singer Halsey, who happens to be the girlfriend of G-Eazy. Sounds like it should be a pretty solid cast.

Teen Titans Go! is Cartoon Network's remodeled version of the show's original 2003 incarnation, Teen Titans . Both variations of the series follow the exploits of teen superheroes Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg as they deal with typical teenage spontaneity and the not-so-typical struggle to defeat the bad guys. Teen Titans Go! is more humor-focused, while the original version featured a more serious, action-oriented tone.

Wonder Woman and Green Lantern aren't typically involved in Teen Titans Go!  storylines, so it's safe to say Lil Boat will be taking on the adult incarnation of the famed, magical ring-wielding hero.

Check out the trailer for the new Teen Titans Go! movie below. Give a listen to Lil Yachty's Lil Boat 2 when you're done watching that.
