New Rumor Claims to Reveal Glen Powell's DCU Character Will Be a Batman Villain
We recently reported a rumor that Top Gun: Maverick actor Glen Powell has been having conversations with DC Studios about a significant role that would involve a long-term commitment.
Insider Jeff Sneider shared that he’s “heard Glen Powell has been in talks with DC about a big role that requires a major commitment/multiple options.” Now, we have more evidence pointing toward that rumor being true, and we even have another rumor about the role he’s in talks to take on.
Some have believed that Powell would be the next Batman in the DCU, but this new report claims he could be a Batman villain instead. Murphy’s Multiverse reports that the actor might actually take on Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke, in DC Studios’ upcoming film Savage Hunters.
Outgoing DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has clarified that Batman casting for The Brave and the Bold has not started yet. Gunn recently confirmed that official auditions for the Dark Knight will begin soon. Scooper @CartierFilms also claimed Powell has been in talks with DC but had no details on the specific role.
Savage Hunters is reportedly next in DC Studios’ production queue. Screenwriter Matthew Orton (Captain America: Brave New World, Moon Knight) has been developing the Bane and Deathstroke team-up movie. ATL DC exclusively reported that the two villains will share a mentor/mentee dynamic in the film.
This sounds like a good fit and interesting role for Powell. Would you like to see him as Deathstroke, or a different DC role?
