Thanks to SolzyAtTheMovies, we have some new exclusive details about Daphne & Velma, including a nearly-complete cast list and a few more (non-spoiler) plot details. This information comes from film critic and blogger, Danielle Solzman, who saw the Hollywood red carpet premiere of the film on April 7.
A week ago, it was announced that Vanessa Marano had joined Sarah Gilman and Sarah Jeffery as a main cast member. According to SolzyAtTheMovies, Marano will be playing Daphne and Velma's senior advisor, Carol. Nedley Blake, whom you may recognize as being Daphne's father (who has the canonically-same name from A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show) will be played by Brian Stepanek. Additional cast members include Ardin Myrin as Principal Piper, Adam Faison as Spencer, Brooks Forester as Tobias Bloom, and Steven Ruffin and Evan Castelloe with currently unannounced roles. On a brief side note, though it's unconfirmed, IMDb lists a few more roles. IDMb hasn't always been 100% correct on everything, but based on the trailers (which include some of the unconfirmed named actors), I would say this info is pretty likely correct.
Film editor Kristina Davies also lends her voice as the "Shame Drone," whose only purpose in the movie to feminist-shame people. Lol I'm totally kidding there, but that was too perfect to pass up given I've heard so many people presume the movie is only being made to lecture and "feminist-shame" everyone. But there is actually a character called the Shame Drone! No idea what its purpose in the film is, but that name sounds amazing and hilarious! Solzman also provides us with some more info on the film's plot (don't worry, no spoilers). Daphne will be very sheltered by her parents, who just want to give her a "perfect" life. Daphne apparently responds at one point in the movie, "I can handle myself!" Which I'm super happy about, because that appears to be a reference to the more mature, empowered version of Daphne from Zombie Island! (She says this same line verbatim when Fred tries to help her up) We know about Daphne and Velma being Internet friends, but apparently there is some worry from Daphne's end after she discovers Velma's contact information is nowhere in the school's contact system. Because of this, her senior advisor Carol says she is surprised that Velma has any friends at all. There will also be a lot of 'state of the art, Steve Jobs-esque' technology included in the film. Additionally, Danielle Solzman closes with these final words on the film. "The Scooby-Doo franchise has a large history to choose from with so many stories to tell. It’s a history that allows for Mack and Meares bring a fresh approach with their screenplay. It’s one that allows for Daphne [Blake] and Velma Dinkley, two of the strongest female characters in the TV cartoon history, to take on leading roles. The film could not come at a better time for women. The film is before the Mystery, Inc. gang gets together so it opens a book for new stories to be told for a new generation. Even though new stories are being told, the script stays true to the history." This review has definitely amped up my excitement for the upcoming film! While it may not be the horror-focused, spooky tale of terror that some fans were looking for, it sounds like a fun, silly movie. And couldn't we all use a bit of cute and silly in our lives? :)

I'm not really familiar with Evan Castelloe, but just looked up a picture and I guess I'm minded to agree haha. Definitely the "typical puberty fangirl" type as you put it, lol. Hope you enjoy the film! :)

I'm not sure I completely understand the question? If you're talking about the student in the trailer, I imagine he'll be one of the "zombies."
