Joe Knezevich To Portray The Wizard On DC Universe’s ‘Stargirl’

While it was revealed the Wizard would be a member of Stargirl‘s Injustice Society, it wasn’t clear who would play the villain. Thankfully, it seems the actor portraying him has been revealed. According to Lance Ausfresser in the Stargirl Facebook group, Joe Knezevich will play the Wizard on DC Universe’s Stargirl.

The Wizard, created by Gardner Fox and Irwin Hasen, first appeared in All-Star Comics #34 in 1947. A skilled user of magic, the villain’s abilities include illusion casting, Astral projection, Hypnosis, Teleportation and dimensional transportation.
