3. Dallas Dupree Young

Cobra Kai star Dallas Dupree Young has captured the hearts of audiences with his charismatic acting skills and teenage angst on the hit series. That’s why he would be the perfect actor to take on the role of Static, the young superhero from the DC Comics Universe. At just 16 years old, Young is the perfect age to play the teenage hero, and his acting chops would bring the perfect amount of wit and sarcasm that Static is known for.

In a potential Static Shock movie, Young could be surrounded by veteran actors playing his parents, creating a perfect blend of experience and youthfulness. With the gritty and realistic approach of the comics and TV show, the young actor could be introduced to several comic book storylines, such as Static’s run-ins with the Blood Syndicate or his partnership with fellow DC Comics hero, Hardware.

With a series or trilogy of films, Young could grow with the character and develop his own unique take on the hero. His dynamic and expressive acting style would be the perfect fit for the high-energy, fast-paced world of Static Shock, and it would be exciting to see him take on the role and make it his own. All in all, Dallas Dupree Young would be the perfect choice for a new generation of Static fans.
