Matthew Lillard Is Heading to Metropolis

Matthew Lillard, known for his role as Shaggy in Scooby Doo, is joining the cast of the upcoming Superman movie! Director James Gunn hinted at the news by sharing a photo of the two together on Threads, jokingly claiming they were just ‘casually hanging out.’ Gunn actually wrote the 2002 Scooby Doo film, making this a fun reunion for the pair. While fans might have guessed other villains, it seems Lillard will be part of the new adventure in Metropolis.

Though Quentin Tarantino’s previous criticism didn’t directly lead to Lillard being cast, it did bring his talent to the attention of other directors. It’s a case of negative attention actually boosting his career – similar to the ‘Barbara Streisand effect,’ where trying to suppress information only draws more attention to it. George Clooney even offered to work with Lillard, so if James Gunn needs another actor, he should consider Clooney’s offer.
