Best known for portraying Scott McCall on Teen Wolf, Tyler Posey is hoping that he’ll have the opportunity to play a very different type of hero sometime in the near future - Terry McGinnis of Batman Beyond.

Posey has kept quite busing since Teen Wolf wrapped its final season, last year. The actor starred in Jane the Virgin with a multi-episode arc, is set to appear in the upcoming third season of MTV’s Scream and starred in the upcoming film Truth or Dare - which will be hitting theaters this Friday. It was Truth or Dare that Posey was promoting, alongside co-star Lucy Hale, when he admitted his love for Batman Beyond and desire to pitch himself in the lead role.

In an interview with Screen Rant to promote Blumhouse Productions' Truth or Dare, Posey discussed his superhero aspirations. With his Teen Wolf co-star Tyler Hoechlin starring as Superman on The CW's Supergirl TV show; Posey was asked if he had any interest in a superhero role, to which he eagerly replied that he already has a specific role in mind:

I always got… Remember Batman Beyond? I loved Batman Beyond! That’d be fun, man, I don’t want, I don’t want to get too old before I got to pitch it.

The beloved animated series takes place several decades into Gotham’s future and follows Terry McGinnis as he takes on the mantle of Batman, with an aged Bruce Wayne acting as his reluctant mentor.

Posey seems to fit the role looks-wise, though being a decade older than McGinnis in the show, at 26 to the Batman protege's 16. Still, it’s not as though such an age difference between an actor and character is unheard of. Just last year saw Spider-Man: Homecoming starring over-20s as the film's high-schoolers.

What do you think about the actor's proposal? Do you think he'd be a good fit for the role? Would you like to see a live-action adaptation of Batman Beyond?

Dylan O'Brien is a better choice. He even looks a little bit like a younger Affleck.

I could see this guy playing an older Damian Wayne though.

@TerryTerrapin - was just about to say the same. That kid looks just like Terry. Not to bad in American Assassin as well.

@TheEqualist - Pretty gutted that American Assassin didn't do so well, I would have liked a sequel. I quite like the books.

Maybe. I can see him as Nightwing too. The problem is, I don’t think he is a very good actor. Unless we are talking Arrowverse, then he is perfect.

@CliffjumperPrime - That's what I thought. Even with the Bruce Wayne nods in Arrow, it could still fit with him being older. That's where Batman has been the whole time the Arrowverse has been going on, retired.

D.C. needs to do these stand alone movies. They have great stories. Just like Nolan or Burton’s movies. Those movies stand on their own. I know everything has to be a trilogy now a days, but I think you focus on making a great film first and then explore your options.

I was just watching Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker last night. It's so good. Hamill will always be the first and last Joker if you ask me. I hope Rocksteady goes that route for the next Batman game.

Something about these vampire/wolf show actors, I don't want to see them in my favourite superhero roles.

But yea, someone needs to make a live action Batman Beyond. But I fear it might turn out like Tron or In Time. These future movies rarely work.

@RageDriver2401 - Nearly everyone on the CW has been on either Vampire Diaries, The Originals or Teen Wolf at some point. Even Amell.

@Nebula "With his Teen Wolf co-star Tyler Hoechlin and Hale starring as Superman and Lucy Lane, respectively, on The CW's Supergirl TV show" - what?

Hoechlin is on Supergirl, yes.
But Lucy Lane is played by Jenna Dewan Tatum and she was never on Teen Wolf.

I don't watch Legends of Tomorrow but I feel like they'd have to be pretty dumb not to take this kid up on his offer (He's popular on TV right?) and add him to the team after a half-season arc in future Gotham or something.

Philip - 4/12/2018, 8:35 AM
@DillonEnnis - That'd be such a waste of Terry though.

DillonEnnis - 4/12/2018, 9:21 AM
@Philip - It's not like we're getting him anywhere else haha. Could serve as a backdoor pilot to an actual Batman Beyond series, or test and garner interest for a live action film version.

It’s only fair to give him a chance. He’s a great guy with a cool personality.

Ah Teen Wolf. Four and a half awesome Seasons of well done and written storytelling that not only told a good, crazy and expanding supernatural story but also one hell of a coming of age story that realistically lined up with the changes and growth of the teenagers from adolescence to adulthood as they went through the hardships their town put them through but still had the time to invest in school stuff, their families, friendships and their newest relationships.

If only they hadn’t sent it to hell with fanservice that would make the Arrow showrunners blush like high school cheerleaders or even proud of at the expense of character development. :) (ugh)

Piece of advice to anyone that is curious enough to ever watch it: stop right at the part in the S5 premiere where the gang is walking out in slow motion from the library. Don’t go any further because you will end up pulling your hair from frustration. Trust me.
