5 Actors Who Fit Perfectly to James Gunn's Justice League Reboot

With Peter Safran and James Gunn leading the revamp of the DC Universe, fans are hoping for a brighter future for their beloved superheroes and their upcoming projects.

As anticipation builds after disappointing projects, fan casting has become a hot topic.

Some fan-casted celebrities already have superhero experience, while others offer fresh talent and potential. Here are 5 perfect fits for Gunn's upcoming projects, and whose contributions to the DCU universe would have fans buzzing.

1. Jensen Ackles as Batman

Jensen Ackles' proven passion for the DC Universe, including his voice work as Red Hood and Batman in animated projects, makes him a top candidate for the role of Batman.

His experience as Dean Winchester on Supernatural, a character with deep complexities and a dark past, aligns with the themes of Batman.

Also, Ackles' stunning performance as Soldier Boy in The Boys Season 3 shows that he can handle intense action scenes, further establishing him as a viable candidate for the iconic role of Batman.

Finally, give this man the role of his dreams.

2. David Corenswet as Superman

One name has come up more than any other in the ongoing debates about the future of Superman in the DC Universe. And this name is David Corenswet. In terms of looks and acting ability, Corenswet stands out as the strongest contender.

His impressive performance in The Politician shows a range of emotions and qualities such as charisma, leadership, and friendship.

It makes a compelling case for his casting as Superman. And we mean look at him: compelling blue eyes, sharp face, dark hair — a perfect fit for the role of Clark Kent.

3. Alexander Skarsgard as Aquaman

Following Jason Momoa's departure from Aquaman, fans began speculating about who to replace him with.

Citing the divergence of Momoa's portrayal from the comic books, fans are suggesting Alexander Skarsgård as the perfect choice for a more faithful portrayal of Arthur Curry.

Skarsgård's acclaimed performances showcase his versatility and depth and make him an intriguing choice to explore Aquaman's story with drama in the DCU.

4. Zac Efron as Green Lantern

Since his days in High School Musical, Efron's career has been on the rise, showcasing his versatility as an actor.

Fans believe that Efron, with his charisma and deep acting experience, would be a fitting choice to play Hal Jordan, the beloved Green Lantern.

Considering how the last Green Lantern movie went over, James Gunn may decide to go with Hal over John Stewart. Also, any project featuring Hal Jordan would have a dedicated fan base due to Efron's enduring popularity.

5. Grant Gustin as Flash

Grant Gustin has been portraying the Flash in the Flash show since 2013, gaining a dedicated fan base over nine seasons. With Ezra Miller 's controversies, some fans believe Gustin would be a great replacement in the DC Universe.

Having already proven himself in the role, Gustin has the potential to finally hit the big screen under the direction of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
