Actor, writer and comedian Kumail Nanjiani (The big sick man, Welcome to Chippendales) made his MCU debut in 2021 as Kingo in the fan-favorite film EternalsBut if the rumors are true, we could see him enter the DC Universe as a character Gold Booster in the next series that is in progress below James Gunnannounced early last year.
Second Nexus Point NewsNanjiani has been cast as Michael John Carter in the upcoming DCU show. The outlet previously reported that Gunn and Peter Safran had cast Danny McBride, John Carcieri AND Jeff Fradleythe creative team behind the HBO Max original series The right gemsto work on the show as well. This may lend some credence to an earlier rumor that the team’s frequent collaborator Jody’s Hill (The right gems, eastward and downward, vice-principals) has been hired as director/showrunner.
If that’s true, we can expect James Gunn to confirm it soon enough… maybe at Comic-Con?
Gunn recently denied a report that production was set to begin this month, but revealed that “most” of the DCU shows currently in the works have already formed their creative teams. I’m sure we’ll know a lot more in a couple of weeks.
This is a far cry from the casting rumor that was reported a few weeks ago, which claimed that Dylan plays fair (Descendants), Fionn Whitehead (Dunkirk), AND Patrick Schwarzenegger (Generation V) had all auditioned for the role of Booster, and they said it would be those three. But I have a lot of faith in Gunn, he’s a great creator, and whatever he decides, he’s making the right casting decisions for his projects.
If this turns out to be true and Nanjiani is DC’s new Booster Gold, would you be excited about this casting news?
