The Iconic Suit Returns With a Twist
The new suit, complete with the return of the classic trunks, seemingly pays homage to Superman's iconic image. However, it isn't just the suit that's causing a stir, it's also the reveal of the cast members. One of the most talked-about names right now is none other than Frank Grillo, the ‘Winter Soldier' star.
Frank Grillo Enters the Scene
Grillo, well-known for his tussle with Captain America in ‘The Winter Soldier,' is all set to make his live-action DCU debut in Superman. He's confirmed to voice Rick Flag Sr in the upcoming movie, and leaked footage shows him arresting Corenswet's Superman, adding more to the anticipation.
Adventures Beyond Superman
Grillo's stints aren't just limited to Superman. He's also slated to appear in Peacemaker Season 2. While at present, producer James Gunn's primary focus might be on Superman, it wouldn't be wrong to speculate that the year 2025 will see Grillo making waves in the live-action DC universe.
A New Journey With Creature Commandos
Before stepping into his live-action role, Grillo will initiate his DCU saga with Creature Commandos, which will mark the opening of this new universe. The leaked images from the Superman set also revealed another character dressed all in black, adding further intrigue to this much-awaited project.
Mystery Surrounds the Dark Character
There's no official word yet about the mystery character, but fans are guessing it could be anyone from Ultraman to Ulysses. For now, giving free rein to the imagination is all we can do, until an official announcement comes from Gunn himself.
Frank Grillo's Journey in DCU
Grillo's participation in the DCU seems to be part of a long-term plan. Being excited about joining the DC world, he's touched upon his involvement in some upcoming projects. He assured that he, along with James Gunn and Peter Safran, has “amazing stuff planned in the next year or two.”
The actor's confirmation in two significant projects outside of Creature Commandos, gives rise to speculation that his influence in the DCU might be larger than initially anticipated.
