Overview

• Speaking at Fan Expo Chicago on Aug. 16, Wilson said he has repeatedly urged Gunn to use Plastic Man in the rebooted DC universe.
• Wilson told fans he would love to play the elastic hero but would still support a film even if someone else is cast.
• The Office actor and Gunn previously collaborated on the 2010 film Super, and Wilson made a brief, uncredited cameo in Gunn-produced Brightburn.
• Gunn now co-leads DC Studios with Peter Safran and has begun a franchise reset that launched with a new Superman film starring David Corenswet.
• Earlier Plastic Man efforts never materialized, including a reported early-2000s Gunn pitch with Matthew Lillard and a later script assignment to Cat Vasko.
