Lewis Tan is no stranger to comic book adaptations, having appeared in last year's Iron Fist as well as portraying Shatterstar in this summer's hugely successful Deadpool 2. The actor could well be preparing to appear in yet another comic book property, only this time from DC as a recent tweet shows Tan at DC Headquarters with the reveal that he had just come from a meeting. 


Tan's father, Philip Tan, is a Hollywood stunt coordinator who has worked on such films as; Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Inception and the Pirates of the Carribean films. He also starred as the sword-wielding Joker henchman that famously confronted Michael Keaton's Batman in an alleyway Tim Burton's 1989 film. 

Given the Into the Badlands actor's gymnastics and martial arts background, speculation has naturally turned to Tan appearing as Chris McKay's Nightwing, though considering the current state of that project and Tan's t "@DCUniverse" tag, it's far more likely that he met in regards to appearing on a show for the DC Universe streaming platform.

Recently announced and set for a late August launch, DC Universe is a dedicated streaming service from DC Entertainment that will see the release of both animated and live-action shows based on DC properties. Those currently revealed to be in development are Greg Berlanti's Titans,  the James Wan-produced Swamp Thing, and the Lois Lane / Lex Luthor X-Files show Metropolis along with the Young Justice: Outsiders and Harley Quinn animated shows.

What do you think? Which DC character do you think Tan would be a good fit for? Do you think he'll be coming to the small or silver screen? Leave your thoughts below.

Cool. I liked him in his brief appearance in Deadpool 2.


But he was a dick.

He looks like "Twilight Lobo" or whatever they're calling him.

@OptimusGrime - When asked, he started throwing shade at the decision to cast Finn Jones as Iron Fist. Apparently, he thought he fit the role better. But he instead cast in the series in a minor role.

Off-topic: this movie does get surprisingly violent for a kids movie (which is part of why I love it!)

Hopefully he'll have a bigger role this time. He was totally wasted in DP2

Ehhhhh...

I thought the X-Force gag was one of the funniest things about the movie. The set up, the wind gag, and of course, the absolutely brutal ways in which each member was dispatched.

Great riff on the “I’m putting a team together” trope. And I know MacGruber did it and it was awesome in that movie too. But I think Deadpool’s take on it was funnier and really well executed.

@Mamamartha

Someone spoiled it for me in a random article and I still found it hilarious.

My whole theater was dying. Probably got the most laughs out of the movie.

It’s weird how some things are really funny to people.😂

I'd be happy to see him play Nightwing.

@Prork -

Might be Dick Grayson. Might also be Terry McGinnis with Michael Keaton as an older Bruce Wayne. The way he talks about it and the comic he's showing, he strongly implies it's for something Batman-related.

@Prork - I know he's got the gymnastics/martial arts background for the role but does he have the other...*cough*..."assets" required?

@FromACertainPOV - Are you talking about acting ability or Nightwing caliber arse?

Because either way I don't know.
