Pictures 16 years after Scooby-Doo and the gang last hit the big screen, their latest adventures will have to settle for small ones amid the coronavirus pandemic. Scoob! will hit premium digital and PVOD on May 15, the same date it was intended to open in theaters. The animated comedy stars Zac Efron as Fred, Amanda Seyfried as Daphne, Gina Rodriguez as Velma and Will Forte and Frank Welker as Shaggy and Scooby, respectively. Scoob! also stars Mark Wahlberg as the new character Blue Falcon. The movie will be available for a 48-hour rental for $19.99. Warner Bros CEO Ann Sarnoff made the announcement on Wednesday. New SCOOB! Trailer Reunites the Mystery Gang and Introduces Mark Wahlberg’s Blue Falcon “While we’re all eager to be able to once again show our films in theaters, we’re navigating new, unprecedented times which call for creative thinking and adaptability in how we distribute our content,” said Sarnoff, according to Deadline. “We know fans are eager to see Scoob! and we’re delighted we can deliver this feel-good movie for families to enjoy while they’re home together.” Scoob! follows the same move made by Trolls World Tour, which bypassed theaters amid the pandemic, to become a hit on digital platforms. The animated sequel — which stars the vocal talents of Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick — scored major attention on the small screen, with Universal claiming the film had the largest digital debut for a film.
