As James Gunn’s DCU continues to be constructed, there are quite a few questions on who could possibly be concerned, by way of each characters and actors. To date, Gunn has appeared to wish to keep away from overlap between what’s been performed earlier than (resembling something with the Snyderverse) and what he’s engaged on now, with main Snyderverse actors like Gal Gadot not too long ago weighing in on the modifications which were made, what that transition to the DCU regarded like, and what these actors’ and characters’ futures might seem like. In actual fact, maybe among the many greatest subjects of dialog at present is whether or not Adria Arjona will certainly be , as she stays tight-lipped about who precisely her thriller character is. This is only one instance of many, although, concerning Gunn’s consideration of returning forged members from earlier than his time.
That makes a current dialogue all of the extra attention-grabbing, nevertheless, as somebody on Threads not too long ago requested Gunn, “What are ur ideas on folks suspecting Grant returning because the flash within the dcu as a comic book e book variant bc apparently if u search for there’s an honest rumor saying he coming again after u mentioned no he ain’t?” The query, which refers back to the rumored return of Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/the Flash after he performed him for a few years all through the Arrowverse, obtained a considerably cryptic response from Gunn, who merely mentioned, “Please outline ‘respectable rumor,’” with a laughing emoji. Gunn, who has appeared to more and more be answering questions on social media, particularly Threads, didn’t give a lot away, if something, though that hasn’t stopped hypothesis about whether or not this might occur.
Might Gustin Play a Position in Gunn’s DCU?
There may be close to fixed chatter—if not simply flat out fixed chatter—about who may seem in Gunn’s DCU films and exhibits, so it’s not all that stunning that rumors about Gustin’s attainable return are making the rounds. That is very true given how lengthy he performed the character and the all however assure that the Flash will ultimately seem within the DCU due to his significance and recognition (Gunn has reportedly indicated that it will occur in some unspecified time in the future however that no Flash undertaking is at present in improvement). Clearly, although, chatter and legit talks about such a return are very various things, and there’s sadly no purpose to suspect that Gustin will play a task, at the least not at present.
In actual fact, Gunn’s seeming aversion to having something carry over from earlier than makes it appear even much less doubtless that it will ultimately occur. Jason Momoa’s position in Supergirl truthfully made that clear sufficient, as Gunn casting him as Lobo in that film arguably despatched the message that Momoa’s time as Aquaman is firmly over and followers shouldn’t anticipate that to play a task transferring ahead. Even so, superhero franchises are a continuing “by no means say by no means” scenario—simply take a look at Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU as Physician Doom. So, whereas Gustin’s return does really feel impossible for now, solely time can actually inform.
