Much of the future of upcoming superhero cinema is in the hands of James Gunn and his DCU crew, where the current focus on Peacemaker will soon give way to more widespread anticipation for Milly Alcock’s Supergirl and Superman’s big-screen sequel Man of Tomorrow, not to mention all the obsessive attention going to the filmmaker’s eventual casting for the DCU’s Batman. As such, Gunn is always on the lookout for potential new cast members, and that hunt recently coincided with his innate fandom of Taylor Sheridan’s TV universe.
In particular, Gunn is most partial to Sheridan’s Yellowstone prequel 1923, as headed up by Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. The western-tinged drama also boasts a co-star in Brandon Sklenar, whom fans have championed as a potentially excellent choice to play Gunn’s Dark Knight. But it turns out that’s not the actor who sparked the director to make a casting suggestion, but rather Sklenar’s on-screen romantic partner.
