With the introduction of the multiverse in DC’s The Flash, it begs the question of which actors will be carried over into James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe. Initially, there were reports and assumptions that Gunn’s films would reboot the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), but it turns out that some legacy actors will continue on in the DCU, while others will not. So, it can be described as a partial reboot. Let’s take a look at the actors who will likely be part of both the DCEU and the DCU.
Viola Davis, who portrayed Task Force X boss Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad and its spin-off series Peacemaker, will be returning to the DCU. Gunn has confirmed that Waller will continue in Peacemaker and that the same actors from that show will be used.
Xolo Maridueña, who plays Blue Beetle in the upcoming Blue Beetle film, represents the DCU’s first character. Gunn has stated that Blue Beetle will be part of the DCU.
John Cena, who portrays Peacemaker in the titular series, will most likely return for a second season. Gunn has hinted at a Peacemaker season 2 and it would make sense for Cena to continue due to the success of the show.
Jennifer Holland, who plays Emilia Harcourt in Peacemaker, is likely to return as well. She has appeared in several DCEU movies and is also James Gunn’s wife, which increases her chances of appearing in the new DCU.
Steve Agee, who portrays John Economos, and Danielle Brooks, who plays Leota Adebayo, are also likely to return based on the renewal of Peacemaker and the presence of their characters in the DCEU.
Gunn has also announced “Elseworlds” projects, which exist outside the main DCU canon. This includes sequels to The Batman and Joker, as well as a Black Superman project penned by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
As for other characters like Shazam, Aquaman, and the Flash, it’s still uncertain whether they will continue in the DCU. There hasn’t been an update on their status, but there are factors such as financial performance and controversy that may affect their return.
However, some actors are more than likely not coming back. Henry Cavill’s Superman has been confirmed not to return, as a recast is needed for his upcoming film, Superman Legacy. Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman may also be recast due to changes in the franchise’s direction, and Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam is unlikely to return.
Overall, the future of actors in the DCU is not completely certain, but it’s clear that some will continue while others may not.
