Overview

  • Wilson told fans at Fan Expo Chicago on Aug. 16 that he has repeatedly pitched Plastic Man to Gunn and would like to play the hero.
  • He emphasized he would welcome a Plastic Man movie even without his casting, citing his longtime affection for the character’s humor.
  • DC Studios has not announced a Plastic Man project or any casting, and neither Gunn nor Warner Bros. has confirmed development.
  • Wilson previously worked with Gunn on the 2010 film Super, and Gunn now oversees the rebooted DC universe as DC Studios co-head.
