While DC Studios continues to model the future of the DC universe, a looming question is still hanging from the Batcave … which will wear the cloak and the hood inside The brave and the bold?
With The Batman Epic Crime Saga starring Robert Pattinson out in his gritty sandbox, James Gunn He has to put the needle in creating a fresh and autonomous version on the dark knight that stands out. Much of that puzzle is the casting e Reacher star Alan Ritchson It has become a favorite choice of fans for the role.
During a recent chat with Variety, Ritchson faced the speculations in progress on him who entered the batter:
“Well, it is not said that James Gunn is a fan. He said it alone. And I’m a fan of James Gunn? Absolutely. I don’t want to go out on people.
“The words were exchanged on Batman. But I don’t strongly think Batman is in my future. I think there is something in my future with DC. And I would like it to remain true.”
The buzz around Ritchson while Batman collected a serious steam thanks to his imposing presence ReacherWhere he has already shown that he has the physicality, intensity and action chops that fans associate with the Gotham vigilante.
Not to mention, once he said he played Batman for free. This type of passion is noticed, especially by someone like Gunn, who has publicly defined a “big fan” of Ritchson’s work.
However, do not expect to see him mug on the roofs again. Gunn, when he was asked of Ritchson’s potential as Batman, kept him cryptic with a “let’s expect and see what happens”.
But considering The brave and the bold It is still in the script phase and will not arrive in theaters until 2028 as soon as possible, the wait could be long.
Gunn has already said he doesn’t want to The brave and the bold To debut in the same year as Part II of Batmanand with Matt Reeves Also observing a third film in his trilogy, there is a close dance to keep both Batmen in their respective lanes.
Ritchson’s latest comments seem rather definitive. “I don’t think Batman is strongly in my future” it doesn’t seem like someone who plays it shy. While this could eliminate fans who cheer for him, there is still a silver coating.
It is clearly open to collaborate with DC in some other guise. With Gunn built a universe from scratch and more projects in the works, there is room for Ritchson to jump in action even if it is not so Batman.
DC Studios is planning to release only one or two films per year, so the times are tight. With Superman who goes on and titles like Wonder Woman also in development, The brave and the bold I will not hit the front burner for a while. But the DCU is vast and Ritchson could easily find a house in another iconic role.
Whether it’s Gotham or beyond, it seems that the door is open to Ritchson to join the DCU, but not from the Batcave.
