Warner Brothers and ViacomCBS are shopping around the idea of selling The CW. What this means for all the DCTV properties is uncertain.

Alkoya Brunson Joins Stargirl as Jakeem Thunder

Last season, Mike Dugan briefly mentioned Jakeem Thunder, but it seems that this season, we will get to meet this legacy character. For Stargirl's second season, the mysterious pink pen will come into play, and with it, we'll get to meet a host of other characters, including the genie that is trapped in the pen, who, as we previously announced, will be voiced by Jim Gaffigan. Now, the next wielder of the pen's power will be Jakeem, who will be played by Alkoya Brunson, known for his role in the Malibu Rescue franchise. Jakeem is described as:

[...] a legacy character like the other members of the JSA, having picked up the Thunderbolt after its original owner Johnny Thunder lost control of the power of the genie. Unlike Johnny, who had to say a special code to release the Thunderbolt, Jakeem was able to harness the power by clicking the pen and uttering the phrase “so cool".
