Grant Gustin’s Cheeky Response to James Gunn’s Flash Casting Query

by

It’s likely that Grant Gustin will continue to discuss his role as The Flash throughout his career in Hollywood. His hit CW series significantly boosted the character’s popularity, although it seems disappointing that he wasn’t given a cameo in DC’s multiverse movie. This could potentially be a point of contention for him, and he hinted at this when discussing the upcoming DC movies led by James Gunn.

Let’s just say there are some talented individuals out there who could do justice to the character of Barry Allen in James Gunn’s DCU.

I’m not giving them any good casting ideas. [Laughs.]

Instead of discussing any other portrayals of Barry Allen, Gustin prefers to focus on the possibility of an Arrowverse film featuring The Flash TV cast, having encountered numerous queries about it as Miller’s Flash movie was being developed over time.

Moreover, it’s amusing to observe him gradually embracing the storyline as time goes by, since he seems to have felt underappreciated by DC regarding his contributions to The Flash series, compared to how colleague Stephen Amell was recognized for his work on Arrow.

More On The Flash

Grant Gustin, who plays the role of The Flash, has consistently been optimistic that the spinoff series of Arrow would have a lengthy and well-received run. However, one of his co-stars harbored some doubts about its longevity.

It’s understandable that Grant Gustin might have felt a bit more disappointed given his show was utilized to promote Ezra Miller’s film by featuring an unexpected appearance from the actor during the Crisis crossover. With so many cameos in the runtime of The Flash movie, it was puzzling that there wasn’t even a brief moment acknowledging Gustin’s contribution to the DC universe.

Grant Gustin’s ability to make light-hearted jokes, even hinting at past drama, gives me the impression that he’s not overly concerned about his role in The Flash moving forward. Yet, it’s worth noting that Gustin himself has stated publicly that if director James Gunn were to invite him back as the hero, he would accept.

Recently, there’s been buzz about fan castings online, with some fans hoping Glen Powell might play the speedster. However, James Gunn chose David Corwenswet as Superman, who is relatively new to the scene. Given this, it’s not unreasonable to imagine that Gunn might opt for an unknown actor for Barry Allen too. Perhaps Grant Gustin could appear as another character in the DCU or portray a younger version of Barry’s father on the night his mother passed away?

Individuals who have a Netflix subscription can now savor Grant Gustin’s time in ‘The Flash’, re-experience some of his finest exploits as the DC superhero. Meanwhile, we at TopMob are eagerly anticipating news regarding James Gunn’s DC universe, and can’t wait for the release of ‘Superman’ this summer.
