The live-action Titans series is beginning to take shape, thanks to the recent casting of Teagan Croft as Raven. With the 13-year-old actress being a relative unknown to western audiences, Croft recently took some time to introduce herself to the world of DC Comics fans.

Croft took to Twitter to thank everyone for their kind words, saying that she's "super excited to be Raven" and "can't wait to get started" on the series, which begins filming this fall. Attached to the tweet is a rather awesome photo of her reading up on Raven.

You can check out the tweet below.

The Australian actress already has a few roles under her belt, including The Osiris Child and Home and Away.

Raven has risen into a sort of fan-favorite since her comic debut in 1980, largely thanks to the original Teen Titans cartoon. With Croft being one of the first actresses to bring Raven into live-action, it's safe to say that her performance in Titans has already become much-anticipated.

You can check out the full character breakdown for Raven below:

[Raven] is a loner more comfortable hiding in her hoodie than making friends. Haunted by a dark force inside her, [Raven] experiences violent episodes that she cannot understand or control. She is also plagued by recurring nightmares that lead her across the country in search of help…

The series is being produced by Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti, and Akiva Goldsman - the same team that behind the DC Universe on The CW. Goldsman has written the script for Titans, and it's expected to premiere in 2018. It will be the first project to debut on DC's direct-to-consumer streaming service.

You can read up on the synopsis for Titans below:

Titans follows a group of young soon-to-be superheroes recruited from every corner of the DC Universe. In the action-adventure series, Dick Grayson emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes that includes Starfire, Raven and others.
