James Gunn Explains DC Studios' Approach To Casting; "What Matters Most Is The Actor [Is] Easy To Work With"

Part of the DC Studios slate is still expected to be revealed this month, and James Gunn has now shared some very interesting insights into how he and Peter Safran are approaching casting in the DCU...

January is winding down, but a partial DCU slate reveal is still heading our way before the month ends. We don't know what that will look like or how much clarity DC Studios will provide about this shared world's future, but a recent Tweet from co-CEO James Gunn could be very telling. 

Following recent comments from Gunn in which he strongly hinted that he'll eventually bring his Guardians of the Galaxy cast into the DCU, one "fan" decided to implore the filmmaker to not use them in future DC Studios projects. 

To that, he responded: "We have hundreds of roles to cast. As I’ve always done, some will be brand new faces, some will be actors I’ve worked with before, [and] some will be actors you know who I’ve never worked with. What matters most is the actor fits the role [and] they’re easy to work with."

Gunn saying that "some will be actors you know who I’ve never worked with" has left many fans wondering whether that's a reference to actors who were part of the DCEU. While we've bid farewell to Henry Cavill's Superman, for example, it's possible Gal Gadot could stick around as Wonder Woman.

If so, that will need to be explained somehow! After all, a combination of new and returning actors could prove confusing for regular movies...while also bringing back memories of critically panned releases Warner Bros. would like them to forget!

Regardless, the DC Studio Co-CEO pointing out that the DCU's actors need to be "easy to work with" is very interesting given what we've learned about Dwayne Johnson's actions during his stint as Black Adam. That's a role he's already said goodbye to, but Gunn may well just be talking in general terms here. 

With any luck, we'll have that slate reveal to share with you in the next few days...
