The multiverse could be a very complicated place. As DC winds down its “DC Extended Universe” and prepares to transition into the new “DC Universe” (I suppose the “DC Distended Universe” doesn’t have fairly the similar ring), some actors related to DC movies and reveals are retaining their jobs, whereas others are going to lose theirs.
Henry Cavill, for instance, is out — he might be changed by David Corenswet as the star of DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy. But it’s not as simple as changing all people from that early DCEU. Some tasks will characteristic returning actors — however maybe not even the very same variations of these characters as earlier than. Gunn himself not too long ago answered some fan questions on this on Threads, and gave some clarifying responses.
“Some actors will be playing characters they’ve played in other stories & some plot points might be consistent with plot points from the dozens of films, shows & animated projects that have come from DC in the past. But nothing is canon until [Creature Commandos] and Legacy,” Gunn wrote.

As for particular actors you may count on to see transferring ahead, Gunn wrote “Xolo Maridueña will continue playing Blue Beetle in the DCU, as Viola Davis will Amanda Waller, and John Cena will Peacemaker.” Davis is one in every of the extra tenured members of the DCEU, having appeared in two Suicide Squad movies, the Peacemaker TV collection, and Black Adam. She is about to get her personal Waller TV collection on Max in the new DCU.
Cena appeared in Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker and can return for a second season of the collection in the future. Maridueña simply debuted as Blue Beetle in one in every of the remaining DCEU movies; the film opened in mid-August and grossed $125 million worldwide in theaters.
That leaves out lots of stars who may theoretically seem in the DCU, and maybe nonetheless could, however weren’t explicitly talked about by Gunn. (Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is the most blatant one which leaps to thoughts.) But it may be somewhat complicated to have the similar actor showing in a number of universes enjoying barely completely different variations of the similar character, reverse actors who’re changing established DC heroes. If and when Davis’ Waller talks to Corenswet’s Superman, for instance, that’s gonna be somewhat bizarre.
The remaining DCEU film, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, premieres in theaters on December 20.
Huge Hits That Initially Flopped in Theaters
These motion pictures show that generally word-of-mouth hype or a pair a long time of reclamation can flip a flop right into a runaway hit.
