The ongoing DCU under James Gunn’s direction is picking up steam, with its initial big-screen outing proving successful enough to warrant a sequel and “Man of Tomorrow” set for release in under two years. With things looking promising, it appears that the selection of key DC characters for future projects may be imminent. Fan favorites have already suggested Alan Ritchson as a strong contender for Batman, but he seems hesitant to accept any role without careful consideration.
The decision to cast Alan Ritchson as the official Batman for the upcoming “The Brave and the Bold” in the DCU has generated quite a buzz online. Fans have been depicting him as Batman in their artwork, and Ritchson himself has expressed an openness to taking on the role if given the opportunity. However, despite his willingness to play Batman, Ritchson clarifies to Liamlovesmovies (via DCUPRIMETV) that he has no interest in portraying Aquaman. He stated…
No, no, I’d never take that from Momoa, I have too much respect. I love Jason Momoa.
To clarify, it’s important to note that Ritchson isn’t trying to replace or take over from Jason Momoa as he has moved on from Aquaman and is set to play Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl film. However, it seems like Ritchson might not wish to emulate Momoa’s career trajectory. Given their collaboration in Fast X where Ritchson portrayed a henchman opposite Momoa’s supervillain, it’s evident that they are familiar with each other.
Aquaman is a character who hasn’t been heavily discussed regarding upcoming DC films. Despite his significant stature and Jason Momoa’s impressive portrayal, which significantly boosted the character following the massive success of the first “Aquaman” film, there aren’t clear expectations about when he might reappear on screen. However, it appears quite probable that we will see him again.
In the unfolding of a fresh cinematic universe, numerous key positions are likely to arise, and although some roles might not appeal to Alan Ritchson, there’s likely a host of others he would gladly accept. The role of Batman might not surface for quite a while yet. Currently, Matt Reeves’ “The Batman Part II” is scripted and set to film shortly, but it seems the DCU Batman movie is currently on hold. Although there are plans for its production, it doesn’t seem to be advancing rapidly.
Alan Ritchson’s career trajectory is unquestionably on the ascent, which implies that there will likely be significant acting opportunities in high-profile franchises in his future, regardless of whether he becomes a part of the DCU or not. If an offer for Aquaman ever comes his way, it could potentially pique his interest. I’m certain Jason Momoa would graciously accept the idea.
