Glen Powell Reportedly in Talks for Major DC Studios Role

If confirmed, the discussions could mark a long-term casting choice that helps shape James Gunn’s reworked DC Universe.

Overview

  • A report published Friday, November 6, by insider Jeff Sneider and picked up by multiple outlets says Glen Powell has been in talks with DC Studios about a “big role” that would require a major commitment and multiple options.
  • Sources describe the potential deal as multi-project and long-term, which would keep the actor busy across future films or series rather than a single appearance.
  • DC Studios and Glen Powell have not confirmed the talks or named a character, and outlets caution the story is based on a single insider tip that has been widely amplified.
  • Fans and commentators have focused on high-profile possibilities such as Batman, John Constantine, Booster Gold, and Green Arrow, with speculation fueled by Powell’s past small role in The Dark Knight Rises, a 2024 GQ comment about Batman, and recent social-media follows of James Gunn and Andy Muschietti.
  • The report arrives as DC Studios is reshaping its slate under James Gunn and Peter Safran and as Gunn has said Batman plans have changed, so the next steps to watch are official casting announcements and how the studio assigns major characters across projects.
