Following The Flash prominently featuring both Ben Affleck and Michael Kenton’s versions of Batman, fans of DC Comics’ Caped Crusader have even more to look forward to in the coming years on the cinematic front. Along with Robert Pattinson continuing to play Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ standalone The Batman franchise, a new Batman will be introduced in the DC Universe’s The Brave and the Bold, which now has Andy Muschietti attached to direct. It remains to be seen when we’ll learn who will play this upcoming DC movie’s Batman, but Jensen Ackles has addressed the rumors that he’s up for the role, and he used that opportunity to humorously call out Pedro Pascal.
For those of you wondering why Ackles would mention Pacal while discussing Batman, the Supernatural alum had his own panel at the recently-held JIB13 convention, and during the Q&A portion, a fam brought up the rumors that he’s in talks to play Gotham City’s shadowy protector on the big screen. In the middle of Ackles answering, a fan mentioned Pascal, as earlier in the panel, the former mentioned that he’d lost out on leading HBO’s The Last of Us to the latter. With that context set up, read what Ackles had to say below (via YouTuber Aurélie Kitty):
