The good folks over at Fandango ran a poll to see what the most anticipated movies of the fall would be.…

When asked about the series and whether or not he’s involved, he said: “I guess I can confirm I am indeed in final talks to write and show-run the new DIABLO animated series for Activision and Netflix.

After the trailer came out, Butera took to social media to announce who she would be playing.…
