The world of superhero movies is abuzz with speculation, and the latest buzz surrounds Jonathan Bailey and his potential role as Batman in James Gunn's DC Universe. But is it just a fan's dream or a casting decision in the making?
The DC Universe is expanding, and with it, the iconic role of Batman is up for grabs in the upcoming film 'The Brave and The Bold'. While Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' universe will continue as an Elseworlds story, the DCU franchise is gearing up to introduce a new face for the Dark Knight.
Enter Jonathan Bailey, the British heartthrob from 'Bridgerton'. When asked about the online fancasting rumors during his appearance on 'The Tonight Show', Bailey played it cool, reflecting on the legacy of the character and the actors who've embodied him. But here's where it gets intriguing: he didn't deny the possibility!
Bailey's name has been floating around since December 2024, when James Gunn liked a post suggesting the actor for a role in the DCU. The internet went wild, and fans started envisioning him as the Caped Crusader. And this is the part most people miss—Gunn himself has been dropping hints about the screenplay's progress, but the scriptwriter remains a mystery.
The story is evolving, too. DC Studios' co-CEO revealed that Robin's story, featuring Damian Wayne, has undergone changes since the initial announcement. With the plot in flux, the casting process is on hold, leaving fans eager for updates.
Andy Muschietti, hired to direct the film, has provided little information, stating that more details will be shared in a few months. The film's release date is also yet to be announced, adding to the anticipation.
So, will Jonathan Bailey don the cowl? Only time will tell. But the internet has spoken, and the buzz is real. What do you think? Is Bailey the right choice for Batman, or should the DCU look elsewhere? Share your thoughts in the comments and join the debate!
