It’s already been confirmed that Frank Grillo’s DC character Rick Flag Sr. will be returning in the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow. But the actor is now teasing that we may see him in more of a major role than just an appearance.

In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Grillo said of his return: "He's a big, integral part of Man of Tomorrow. And, certainly, I don't think I'm out of line saying there's more of Rick Flag after Man of Tomorrow.

“[Aaron Pierre's John Stewart is in it], so the worlds do collide at some point. What Gunn is brilliant at doing is integrating the timelines, and it's all about the timeline. So, we'll see [about a fight with Flag], maybe."

The actor made his DCU debut voicing the character in the animated Creature Commandos series, before returning for a supporting role in Superman, and Peacemaker season 2. It will be cool to see where Rick Flag Sr.’s story goes from here.

Man of Tomorrow is set to hit theatres on July 9, 2027.
