Key Takeaways:
– Tom Cavanagh, known for playing Reverse-Flash, might transition from CW’s ‘The Flash’ to DC Universe.
– Cavanagh expressed interest in reprising his role under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
– The actor’s move follows James Gunn’s DC Universe revamp, creating room for new actors and previously unexplored characters.
– James Gunn appreciated CW Flash actor Grant Gustin but remained non-committal on including him in the DC Universe.
‘Speedster Nemesis’ on the Move
After his stellar performance as Reverse-Flash in ‘The Flash’ series on CW, actor Tom Cavanagh is reportedly keen on joining the DC universe. Recognised for his portrayal of Eobard Thawne, the actor isn’t done playing the character even as the series reaches its finale.
Possibilities in James Gunn’s New DC Universe
The new setup initiated by James Gunn, in restructuring the DC universe, notably made way for several actors. Distinguished DC heroes like Superman and Batman were put on hold as the focus has shifted towards new and less-explored characters. This situation could potentially open the door for the intriguing Reverse-Flash to enter the DC fold.
Expressing his interest, Cavanagh reported that he would “love” to continue embodying his role in this fresh DC universe under Gunn’s and Peter Safran’s guidance. However, currently, there’s no official plan for incorporating The Flash or Reverse-Flash into the DC universe as deployed by James Gunn.
Looking Towards the Future
While there’s no explicit confirmation for either Cavanagh or The Flash’s other characters, fans are showing a keen interest in seeing the actor take up the villain role in the DC universe. Nonetheless, it appears this transition is unlikely to materialize in the immediate future as per Gunn’s current plans.
Grant Gustin’s Acknowledgment from James Gunn
On another note, there’s increasing popularity for Grant Gustin’s portrayal of The Flash in CW’s series. While Ezra Miller’s solo Flash DC film somewhat fell short in terms of critical and commercial reception, Gustin’s performance has left fans admiring his interpretation of the character. Gunn even commended Gustin’s contribution, expressing his eagerness to work with the actor at some point.
However, Gunn didn’t clarify whether he would introduce Gustin as The Flash in place of Miller in the DC universe. Presently, there are no clear indicators of Gustin’s potential inclusion in the DC project.
For fans eager to watch or rewatch, CW’s The Flash is available for streaming on Netflix. As the situation unfolds, followers of the series eagerly await whether Cavanagh, familiar as their ‘speedster nemesis’, will make an entry into James Gunn’s revamped DC universe. Only time will reveal the future trajectories for these beloved characters and actors in the DC superhero universe.
