NIGHTWING Director Confirms That Warner Bros. Hasn't Started Looking For Dick Grayson...Yet

Casting rumours for the role of Dick Grayson in Chris McKay's upcoming Nightwing movie have been swirling all weekend but the filmmaker has now made it clear that the search still hasn't started...

Over the weekend, Stranger Things 2 star Dacre Montgomery got speculation swirling when he Tweeted and deleted an image of Nightwing. Many fans have assumed that he could be in talks for the role and that, as with Shazam, we'll hear something official shortly. Unfortunately, The LEGO Batman Movie and Nightwing director Chris McKay has confirmed that the casting process hasn't begun...yet.

As you can see below, McKay has confirmed that the hunt for Dick Grayson will be a big one and it seems we shouldn't necessarily pin our hopes on Warner Bros. choosing a big name actor because there may even be an open casting call giving unknowns the chance to suit up as the superhero.

He's also revealed that work on the script is still ongoing and that the only way Nightwing will begin production next year is if its perfect. So, it seems we're stuck waiting and seeing for the time being but feel free to let us know your thoughts on who should play Dick Grayson in the comments section.

Well...in that case, it better be "perfect"!
This means they're willing to go with a new face, a fresh new actor, right?

Kevin Zegers would be pretty good. He's not too much of a familiar face so it would be easier to see him as Dick you know? Its not like "Oh theres Ben Affleck as Batman".

Just realized yesterday watching The Gifted that the guy playing Thunderbird really looks the part.

@Asturgis - I would be down with that!

Aaron Taylor-Johnson would be my choice for the part. Dacre wouldn’t be bad. Wittrock while a bit older I see more as Jason Todd

10 years ago Milo Ventimiglia would've been perfect. Hell, if Batman is nearly 50 in the DCEU, why not have a Nightwing around 30 something?

@TheMadman - Milo is 40 though. I dont think Nightwing should be older than Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman.

@ChrisNolan - Really? I thought he was like 26 10 years ago. Eh, you can explain that away. Wonder Woman has looked the same for centuries, Aquaman is Atlantean and Supes is Kryptonian; you can explain it away as their races have slowed aging.

@Ha1frican - The CW wanted him to play a young Bruce Wayne on Smallville

@BATMANx - Makes sense, hes from Vampire Diaries and he has the look. They sometimes reuse actors too, people forget that Jensen Ackles atrted out as Lana's boyfriend on Smallville before he was killed off and went to Supernatural
