Earlier today, we got official word that David Corenswet will play Clark Kent/the Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan will play Lois Lane in Superman: Legacy, but there are still plenty of supporting parts to cast (including Lex Luthor and members of the Authority), and it sounds like it's going to be quite a while before James Gunn can turn his attention to Batman.
Though The Flash director Andy Muschietti recently signed on to helm Batman: The Brave and the Bold, the project has yet to assign a screenwriter (that we know of), which means any casting announcements are likely still way down the road.
Gunn was asked when we can expect to find out who will be donning the cape and cowl as the DCU's Dark Knight on his Intagram post about the Superman news, and gave the following response.
The closest we've come to any kind of casting "rumor" was a bit of internet scuttlebutt about Jensen Ackles possibly being considered for the role, but The Boys and Supernatural actor made it clear that no conversations have taken place during a recent fan event - although he did admit to being very interested in playing Batman in live-action after previously voicing the iconic hero in The Long Halloween animated features.
"Look, right now nobody's talking about anything. There's a strike going on in the entertainment industry, and until that gets solved, nobody is having conversations about anything. Would I entertain the idea of playing my favorite superhero of all time? Nah, I'm good (laughs)...sounds like a lot of work. I would love it. Sign me up."
Along with a new take on the Caped Crusader, The Brave and the Bold will introduce a very different Robin in the form of Damian Wayne, a "murderous tween raised by assassins who also happens to be the son Batman never knew he had."
