Even if you're not a wrestling fan, Cody Rhodes' name will no doubt be familiar to you. He took on Arrow star Stephen Amell as Stardust at last year's SummerSlam, and made an appearance during season five as a drug dealer who couldn't feel pain. Talking to Bleeding Cool to promote an upcoming match at Ring of Honor: Final Battle, the wrestler expressed a desire to return to the DC TV Universe.

"I would love to," Rhodes said of possibly reprising the role. "There’s no concrete plans right now. I heard something might be brewing for a future season. What [DC TV producer] Greg Berlanti has done is amazing – he’s made four distinct universes, I think there’s about to be a fifth – with bringing DC to television. I would love to be part of the Arrowverse, Star City, again as Derek Sampson, or even part of something like Legends of Tomorrow. I’m a lifelong comic book reader, and they were very excited about the episode and how it turned out, as was I, so I'd say there’s a good chance."

Sampson returning to take on Team Arrow again seems highly likely, especially after he proved to be such a formidable threat to them earlier this year. However, Rhodes has his eye on a bigger role!

After telling the site that he's a big fan of Black Bolt, he confirmed that he's actively trying to get cast as the silent superhero in Marvel, ABC, and IMAX's The Inhumans. "I will fully disclose that I have been actively pursuing a couple of roles, that being one. I now have uprooted, moved to LA, to look into acting more, especially after the Arrow episode. So that would mean the world to me if that were to happen. And we’re actively looking into it. I’m all about it." Do you guys think he'd be a good fit?

Being mute doesn't make acting easier, it makes it harder, especially when it's a main character who has to communicate entirely through body language. .

he doesn't have to talk....

Black Bolt should still give off a quiet intensity. Be able to instill fear and authority through his demeanor.
