(A/N: Here is it is: The eagerly-awaited sequel to "Danny Phantom: The Movie." The title is derived from an album by a defunct Swedish metal band called Dark Opera. The lyrics of many of the songs are spookily applicable to the Ghost King. Please Read and Review.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, nor do I own any of the actors who appear in this film.
Cast to Appear in the Film
On the side of the Angels:
1.) Daniel "Danny Phantom" Fenton - A teenage boy with superhuman powers, Danny's exploits as Danny Phantom have become public, though he is considered by the majority of Amity Park citizens to be a vigilante at best and a self-hating monster at worst. Played by Frankie Muñiz, voice dubbed by Caleb Kane in the event that he sings (unlikely).
2.) Samantha "Sam" Manson - One of Danny's best friends and his girlfriend, Sam and Danny now connect on almost all levels, though her parents are still fervently opposed to the relationship and even talk about setting her up with the son of a friend of theirs. Sam's tough, punk-rocker exterior masks a loving, sensitive artist, and she is secretly an accomplished poet, painter, and singer. Played by Katie Leung, voice dubbed by Lea Salonga in the event that she sings (again, unlikely).
3.) Tucker Foley - Danny's other best friend, Tucker is a computer genius and a highly skilled hacker, his abilities often serving Danny's cause in small but useful ways. Recently, he has attempted to start a relationship with Valerie Gray, another girl at their school. Played by Daniel Curtis Lee.
4.) Jack & Maddie Fenton - Danny's parents, these two scientists have been devoted to ghost-hunting for almost 20 years. Designing and building many advanced weapons and technology, they have some 37 U.S. patents to date (and yet they're still in the dark about their son's "extracurricular activities"). Played by John Goodman and Lauren Graham, respectively.
5.) Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton - Danny's older sister by two years, Jazz is a brainy know-it-all who, despite her good intentions and genuine concern for her brother's welfare, comes across as overbearing and nosy. Recently, she has noticed her brother's improved grades at school, and while proud of him, she is also becoming suspicious . . . Played by Laura Prepon.
6.) Valerie Gray - A female student at Casper High, she is an unofficial friend to Danny, Tucker, and Sam. Her father, Damien Gray, works for the FBI's paranormal control section, hence her slight distrust of ghosts. Played by Zoë Saldaña.
7.) The Observants - Strange, ghostly beings who dwell in the Ghost Zone, this unusual trio is bound never to intervene in the affairs of others except when ordered to by their mysterious master. Played by Peter Fonda, James Avery, and Mark Collie, respectively.
8.) Walker - A hard nosed, tough-as-nails ex-pugilist, Walker is the warden in the Ghost Zone prison. His drive for order, both in his prison and the Ghost Zone in general, puts him at odds with the forces of Pariah Dark, prompting him to turn his prisoners into an army to fight for the cause of freedom. Walker possesses the rare ability to create a huge illusion of himself. The only other ghost known to possess this power is the Ghost King himself. Played by Clint Eastwood.
9.) Wulf - A burly and seemingly gruff man/wolf hybrid, Wulf is a surprisingly sensitive and articulate person, valuing his freedom and his friends above all else. Wulf has special powers, even by ghost standards: Utilizing his very long, sharp green claws, he can "tear" natural portals between the Ghost Zone and the human dimension into the space around him. He is very easy to spot in a crowd, as he is almost seven feet tall, wears an orange hoodie with sleeves much too short for his thick arms (and a pair of matching sweat pants that are too short for his legs), and is covered with thick, coarse fur all over his body. Voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
On the side of the Devils:
10.) Freakshow - A thin, gaunt, and sinister man who possibly has anemia, Frederic Isak Showenhower was the son of an immigrant from Eastern Europe who ran a small circus. Taking over for his father in his late 20's, Frederic found that his small set-up had to struggle to compete with much larger troupes, and he began to search for new attractions to keep his head above water. Eventually, he discovered a crystal orb that enabled him to communicate with the souls of deceased humans, enabling him to bring ghosts to the human plane. After several years of using real ghosts in his performances, his mind was ensnared by the disembodied soul of Pariah Dark. Played by Johnny Depp.
11.) Skulker - Thought to have killed himself in lieu of losing to Danny in battle, Skulker was given new, more powerful armor by Pariah Dark and sent back, renewed and invigorated, to fight on his behalf. Also now a general in the Ghost King's army. Voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.
12.) Desiree Spectra - (An amalgam of the characters Desiree and Penelope Spectra) A teacher at Casper High, Desiree Spectra teaches Economics and Political History. She secretly is a minion of the Ghost King, who uses her words to subtly influence people on a subconscious level. Lately, she has taken a shine to her student, Danny Fenton, perhaps in a more than professional way . . . Played by Patricia Velásquez.
13.) Lydia - A lovely female ghost with tattoos all over her body and spiky hair, Lydia is Freakshow's bodyguard, right-hand woman, and lover. She is the only ghost that he does not have to magically compel to serve him. Her typical mode of dress is thigh-high boots, a black leather corset, fishnet gloves and an enveloping cloak. Played by Hilary Duff.
14.) Ember McLain - A classical pianist who died without ever making it big, Ember McLain was a young girl whose father died in a fire (the source of her name, according to her mother). She was taught to play the guitar in the afterlife by Jimi Hendrix's ghost. Not long after, she joined the Ghost King's cause after he promised her the fame and glory that she had been denied in life as his personal minstrel. In addition to her formidable skill at playing musical instruments, she is also an incredible vocalist who can alter the pitch of her voice and change the cadence of her words at will, enabling her to effortless alter her voice. Played by Amy Lee, dubbed for one song by Robin Kimissel.
15.) Bertrand - A midget ghost, Bertrand is also a low-level shape-shifter and Spectra's manservant. Utterly loyal to Spectra and a sadist, Bertrand relishes doing her dirty work. Played by Phil Fondacaro.
16.) The Fright Knight - The spirit of Halloween, the Fright Knight was a druid priest who was sacrificed against his will on the night of the first Halloween. He met Pariah Dark in the Ghost Zone and ever after was his most powerful and loyal servant. He rides a huge and terrible beast, a kind of horse/bat/lizard hybrid that he refers to as Hell Beast. His enchanted broadsword is capable of sending anyone he cuts with it into a dimension where they are tortured endlessly by manifestations of their own worst fears. Played by Karl Urban.
17.) Pariah Dark - The self-proclaimed king of all ghosts, Pariah was born in Pre-Christian Scandinavia on a Viking ship in a typhoon. All the creatures of the forest night were present at the dock when he was first brought ashore. Growing up to be an extremely fierce warrior, he raised a huge army and cut a bloody swath across Europe. Dying in old age as the king of a vast empire, Pariah refused to cross over to his final resting place because his craving for battle and conquest was stronger than the call of the grave. In the Ghost Zone, Pariah discovered two magical objects that granted him unequaled power: The Crown of Fire, an imperial crown surrounded by fire that could never go out, and the Ring of Rage, a black diamond set in greenish metal with a silver skull emblem on it. When wearing both, he was all but invincible. Eventually, the order of powerful, ancient ghosts known as The Amaranthine rose up and trapped the Ghost King within an ancient construct known as the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, keeping him in a state of perpetual suspended animation deep within his fortress. A prophecy was made that he would eventually return, but be opposed by a "Silver Centurion." The Crown of Fire, the Ring of Rage, and the Cosmic Skeleton Key (the device used to seal the Sarcophagus) were all hidden on Earth in secret locations to prevent the Ghost King's return for as long as possible. Played by Dominic Purcell, voiced dubbed by Hugo Weaving (à la Megatron) when transformed by items of power.
Other Characters:
18.) Dash Baxter - Quarterback, football star, and bully at Casper High, Dash's reputation took a small hit following his ill-fated tête-à-tête with Danny, causing his trophy girlfriend, Paulina, to break up with him. While Dash is not smart in the traditional sense, he is a surprisingly adept tactician in relation to sport strategy. Played by Danny Masterson.
19.) Kwan - Dash's best friend and general sycophant, Kwan is the Offensive guard of the Casper High Ravens' football team. He used to date Valerie, but she dumped him because he considered his football career more important than her. In spite of his flaws, however, Kwan has no particular interest in bullying without Dash, who is naturally predatory, to prod him into doing so. Played by Wilmer Valderrama.
20.) Paulina Sánchez - The most popular girl at Casper High, Paulina is a teenage girl of French, Mexican, and Native American stock. Her beauty and sex appeal makes her the wet dream of almost every guy at the school, leaving her with a vast number of servile followers to obey her every whim. Paulina has been spoiled by her father ever since her mother died when she was very young, and as a result, she is very shallow, not caring much about anything but her social status. In spite of this, however, she does have a few friends that she genuinely cares about, namely Starr and Valerie. Played by Megan Fox.
21.) Starr - Paulina's best friend, Starr is a stereotypical American teenage girl, somewhat spoiled and more concerned with boys and her social life than academics. She is a petite blond bombshell, almost as popular as Paulina. She is sometimes referred to as Paulina's "satellite" behind her back. Played by Kaley Cuoco.
