Khary Payton is King Ezekiel and Cyborg
The Teen Titans are getting their own movie, and The Walking Dead star Khary Payton wants you to know that he’s King Ezekiel and Cyborg.
Khary Payton wants you to know that he may be the King on The Walking Dead, but he’s also one of the most badass characters on the Teen Titans team. Payton voices Cyborg on Teen Titans Go! To The Movies and the new movie comes out July 27.
The Teen Titans want their own movie. Superman and Batman have always had the spotlight, and Wonder Woman is reigning supreme these days. So why haven’t the Teen Titans had their moment in the spotlight? The Teen Titans aim to rectify this oversight with a trip to Hollywood to get their own movie made, one way or another.
Khary Payton, who has been part of the Teen Titans universe for a long time, wants his fans to know that they can check out his new movie while they’re waiting for the new season of The Walking Dead in October:
“Hey, are you King Ezekiel on The Walking Dead? I love that show!”

“Thank you! Yes, I am! Now go see #TeenTitansGOMovie in theatres July 27th!”
“What?”
“I’m Cyborg. Go see my movie. It’s hilarious.”
“I really miss Shiva.”

And if you don’t have kids, you should see it anyway:
Not weird at all! In fact, you should see the NC-17, 3D director’s cut in IMAX!! Whooo baby, it’s full of all kinds of... nuance. #TeenTitansGOMovie @TeenTitansMovie https://t.co/NFgDJ6jF0I

Teen Titans Go! To The Movies follows in the tradition of animated films that are made for kids but are equally enjoyable for the adults who take their kids to the movies. In addition to the vocal stylings of Khary Payton as Cyborg, the all-star cast includes Nicholas Cage (Superman), Kristen Bell (Jade Wilson), Will Arnett (Slade), Tara Strong (Raven), Halsey (Wonder Woman), Jimmy Kimmel as Batman and many other talented stars. Even if you’re not familiar with the Teen Titans, the movie is going to be fun for everyone.
Payton has enjoyed a long relationship with DC Entertainment, voicing various characters in the DC universe since 2003 when he voiced the character of Ten on the animated Justice League series. Over the years he has voiced Cyborg in several television series and video games while also voicing other DC characters. However, his body of work extends well beyond DC characters, including several Marvel video games and the ever-popular Ben 10 cartoon, to name just a few.
