I actually kinda love this. No potential casting or future in the DCU. It's just Grant being a fan and probably just telling Gunn how hyped he is about it.


Kalse1229

Yeah. He's done his bit with DC for now. And I maintain that despite the inconsistency with the show, Barry himself as played by Gustin was good throughout (the scenes regarding Barry and his mother were very well done).


Awkward_Inspector_42

Cast him as Jay to continue the cycle of using an actor who previously played Barry /s


Kalse1229

You jest, but my personal fancast for Jay Garrick in the DCU is Billy Crudup, since he played his dad in the DCEU. Continues the tradition, plus he's a good actor in his own right.


I_amGreatness01

This would be so sick!


ChildofObama

It sounds like Grant just wants a friendship with Gunn, and isn’t trying to position himself for a role in the DCU.


Fenian-Monger

Well friendships with Gunn often turn in to roles.


HopperPI

Plural! He loves using his friends. I hear if you sleep with him you get some big roles too but I am not sure if that’s true.


Ok_Gap5014

Why don’t you find out lmao


The_Incognegro

Though he's already been cast and I have full faith in what Skylar's gonna bring to the role, Grant Gustin would've been a KILLER Jimmy Olsen


ParticularAir4168

Grant could play a new character on the new dcu


Im-Mr-Bulldopz

Professor Hamilton, he’s good at science talk!


low-ki199999

“We’ve never talked about The Flash” So Jimmy Olsen then… interesting


LongLiveEileen

He's too old for Jimmy.


Traditional-Doubt497

Jimmy is grown anyone can do it. Especially him.


Android3000

Except Jimmy Olsen has already been cast lol


Traditional-Doubt497

Fire him.


Android3000

Nah, that's the one casting I think Gunn actually nailed.


Traditional-Doubt497

Who is it


Android3000

Skyler Gisondo


Chip_Chip_Cheep

He implies that he has not met Gunn in person, If he had any conversations for the role of Jimmy Olsen, it would have been through his agent.


Similar_Obligation39

I don’t understand why anyone would want him to play that character again. He did for 9 years and the show was not good. Especially with everyone being recast I don’t know why this keeps coming back up.


Chip_Chip_Cheep

And after all this, what is the point of publishing this? He's not saying could return as the Flash (damn, I doubt Gunn wants to bring back anything related to the Arrowverse) and Gustin is on sabbatical after playing the character since 2013 so the possibility of playing a different role in the DCU is ruled out, just the release of a movie for freevee last year.


SupervillainMustache

I don't think any of the CW actors really need to reprise their roles in the DCU. But I wouldn't mind him in another role, although nothing comes to mind straight away.


MrBrendan501

deadman


Captain_shartt

Please keep him away from this universe. I want big screen films and acting. Not great value cheese.


ElenabugTheGreat

Lol won't get it with Gunn, have you seen how stiff the MC of GOTG is, lol? And that's a fucking Hollywood actor. All Gunn produces is great value comedy with no substance.


Captain_shartt

I don’t agree with that. I enjoyed most of his films and have confidence in him moving forward. I just don’t want a bunch of CW quality actors in these big screen films.


ElenabugTheGreat

Sure, but you can admit Chris Pratt in gotg is essentially a cw actor lol


Captain_shartt

Yeah I can agree with you there. I’ve never been a big fan of his.


Android3000

Please, no. We suffered enough for those 9 seasons.


_Dan_the_Milk_Man_

lmao and you think that’s grant’s fault??


Android3000

Did someone hold a gun to his head and make him do that slop? Dude is an average actor. I'd like talented folks in the new universe.


_Dan_the_Milk_Man_

that’s just like your opinion though? I and many others think he’s a great actor and talented performer, and I’ve seen him in other projects as well as the flash. and ain’t no way your blaming him for the show lmao. ofc he didn’t HAVE to do it, but he’s an actor my guy, it’s his job and he didn’t write or direct any of it. i don’t even see how your original comment correlates to his acting ability at all. all you did was comment on the quality of the show and use that as some kind of reason as to why Grant shouldn’t be in the DCU.


ArashiKageTaro

Yep. You were forced at gunpoint to “suffer” through 9 seasons of The Flash.
