DCU Rumor Round-Up: SUPERGIRL Casting; BOOSTER GOLD Creative Team; TEEN TITANS Movie, And More

We have a breakdown of some DCU-based rumors that are currently doing the rounds online, including a potential male lead for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow...

With Warner Bros.' new DCU still in its infancy (Superman will be the first movie, and Creature Commandos the first series), we haven't seen that many rumors doing the rounds online. But with production gearing up for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and James Gunn and Peter Safran slowly starting to turn their attention to future projects, we do have a few intriguing reports to share.

It's pretty much been radio silence on the live-action Teen Titans movie since it was first announced back in March, but a recent Production Weekly logline claimed to reveal the key team members:

"The Teen Titans are further apart than ever before… until Damian Wayne recruits Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and the new Kid Flash to join him in a fight against his own grandfather, Ra’s al Ghul."

This may be accurate (it was never confirmed or debunked), but we're now hearing that the movie will focus on a pre-existing team being "revived," which may indicate that the roster will consist of Kid Flash (Wally West), Robin (Dick Grayson), Aqualad (Garth) and Wonder Girl (Donna Troy).

Next up, Nexus Point News is reporting that Danny McBride, John Carcieri and Jeff Fradley, the creative team behind the HBO Max Original series The Righteous Gemstones, are no longer attached to the Booster Gold TV series - though it's worth keeping in mind their involvement was never actually confirmed in the first place!

This source has been spot on with DC-related news of late, however, and the site also reiterates that Kumail Nanjiani is still very much on board to play the title role.

We also have a new casting rumor, with ReelFilm claiming that Toby Kebbell (Dead Man's Shoes, Fantastic Four, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) is in talks for an undisclosed role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. If there's any truth to this, we'd say Kebbell is most likely up for the role of the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills.

Finally - and this isn't actually a rumor, but we didn't feel it warranted a full article - Superman director James Gunn has revealed that Metamorpho will not be a fully CGI creation, which means that actor Anthony Carrigan will most likely be transformed into the character via prosthetics for at least some scenes.

Carrigan was the one main cast member we didn't see in the recent set photos, which had led to speculation that he would be brought to life via VFX.

Not sure who this ‘we’ is - we all know the other writer on this site wouldn’t think twice to make multiple articles out of that info 😂

The Teen Titans synopsis is from this comic run (which they could base the movie off but still)…

Also weird that a creative team for Booster Gold that was never confirmed by trades or Gunn himself is no longer attached , so convenient.

Anyway , if the Toby Kebbell rumor for Supergirl is true then I’m all for him as Krem of The Yellow Hills.

Dudes an underrated actor and deserves to be bigger than he is , plus it could be some nice cbm redemption for him after Fant4stic.

Plus , he can play a good villain since he was Koba in the Matt Reeves Apes films.

What the honk is with the post about the Regan movie? Why's that comments off and why is it even there at all?

BillyBatson1000 - 8/21/2024, 1:54 PM
@Crtdacct2say - it's not a comic-book movie - so the author doesn't want 50+ responses to that effect?

Crtdacct2say - 8/21/2024, 1:56 PM
@BillyBatson1000 - Then why post it at all?

@Crtdacct2say - can you hazard a guess as to why the comments might be turned off?

@TheRogue

I haven't seen an interview from him where the comments aren't turned off. Figured it had something to do with the low interest in the releases they're promoting or maybe it has to do with personal attacks.

Regardless they've been turned off for exclusive interviews for a while now.

@regularmovieguy - I think in this case was politic. Kinda hope they turn off comments for any controversial thing, but eh I can see why thats controversial in itself lol. Well nothing anything controversial. Just something the worst would come out for.

I'm so tired of Ra’s al Ghul in live action. So many other great villain's need to be represented on screen. Like Clayface.

The Teen Titans are revived, lol. This reminds me of how funny it is when teenagers say things like "When I was a kid", lol you still are!

So how long were the Teen Titans retired, for the whole year or just over the Christmas period?

@ObserverIO - Well probably the team existed before but with different members

@HAUSMAN01 - The casting I was presenting was more going younger and keeping more to look and/or feel of the character for as many as possible, to me. So it may be more an issue of perception on the casting. Though I also like the look for Forest Wheeler for that character, but I'm not sure about his energy for the character.
