news culture After a brief stint at Marvel, this actor could have a recurring role in James Gunn’s new DC Universe
Some directors have their favorite actors and that seems to be the case with James Gunn. Having recently brought him into the MCU, the Guardians of the Galaxy director could well keep him in his new DC Comics stable, and not just for a small role.
Three new faces for Superman Legacy
Ever since James Gunn took over as helm of the DC Universe, information has been pouring in about the future of this Marvel-rival stable.. While The Lightning has just hit theaters and is likely to be the next project to see the light of day Blue Beetleit’s next Superman: Legacy which attracts all curious. Instead of Henry Cavill in the role of the superhero in the cape and boxer shorts over his pants, it’s David Corenswet (The politician), who will take on the role of Clark Kent, closely followed by Rachel Brosnahan (The wonderful Mrs. Maisel) in that of Lois Lane.
But according to exclusive information from Vanity Fair, Three new faces have just joined the cast of this first film of the new DC Universe in cinemas. Isabela Mercedwhat you may have already seen Dora and the Lost Citywill play the role hawk girla DC character much loved by fans but rarely seen on the big screen. Eddie Gathegi (dusk, X Men: The Beginning) will play Mr. Great, a renowned inventor. Above all, the third actor should please the fans, because he is neither more nor less than Nathan Fillion, a popular actor. The latter will therefore appear in Superman: Legacy insofar Guy Gardnerone of the people taking on the role Green Lantern in the comics.
For the lesser fans of the DC Universe, Green Lantern is generally represented by two different people: Hal Jordan (whom you may have seen in the cinema, played by Ryan Reynolds) and John Stewart (who was one of the first black DC superheroes). . Universe). If both are entitled to their leading roles in the TV series The Green Lanterns, It’s the much funnier and more ridiculous character of Guy Gardner appearing in Superman: Legacy, portrayed by Nathan Fillion. And if we are to believe information from Vanity Fair, the latter should even keep his iconic bowl from the comics…
A favorite actor of James Gunn?
This is far from the first time James Gunn has cast Nathan Fillion in a role. If the actor is particularly well-known and valued on the internet, it is primarily for his role in the series Firefly etc serenity. But if you’re a regular at the cinema of the new DC Universe boss, you’ve also been able to see him in many films, e.g Slide, The Suicide Squad or even in the competitive stable ever since Gunn hired Fillion for a small role in the latest Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3.
And their collaboration doesn’t seem to be ending so well just yet. Because if, as we already told you, his role as Green Lantern will not be the one that will be honored in the series of the same name, James Gunn intends to have Guy Gardner appear in projects other than Superman: Legacy. In the new social network Meta Threads, the American director wrote:
The Green Lanterns series is not unique. Nate (Nathan Fillion, ed.) will play Guy in several parts of the DCU.
While it’s difficult to know more this early in this new life of the DC Universe, his boss seems to confirm that viewers should see Nathan Fillion elsewhere than in Superman: Legacy and The Green Lanterns series. Excellent news for fans of the actor who didn’t get a chance to see him play the role of Nathan Drake, although it would have suited him like a glove. It remains to be seen whether the bowl cut spoils their enjoyment a little.
