The Flash actor Tom Cavanagh is very enthusiastic about potentially joining the DCU – andJames Gunnhas jokingly acknowledged the request.
A video posted toThreadsshows Cavanagh, who played the villain Reverse Flash in the CW’s Flash series, responding to a question from a fan asking if he’d return if Gunn asked.
“Yes! James Gunn, James, where are you?” Cavanagh says in the video. “James, I’m right here. Pretty solidly built, still athletic. You know, not the youngest cat, but pretty good, pretty fast on their feet, can move pretty good. I would love to work for you, Gunn. I hear all this stuff on social media about Grant Gustin, come on, he’s got a job!”
At first, Gunn simply responded with alaughing emoji, beforeclarifyingthat he meant no disrespect: “Of course. And Tom was hilarious in that clip!”
So, that’s not a yesora no, but, considering how the DCU is shaking pretty much everything up, we can probably safely assume that Cavanagh wouldn’t be reprising his old role if he was cast for something. Still, with John Cena and Viola Davis returning as their DCEU characters in the DCU, anything is possible. We’ll just have to wait and see.
At the moment,DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monstersalso doesn’t feature a Flash specific project on the release slate. Considering he’s one of DC’s major heroes, though, we probably will be seeing Barry Allen soon.
