Most just lately, franchise devotees have been making guesses in regards to the movie’s villain(s), and Gunn nonetheless is not shying away from shutting down the chatter.
In current posts on Threads, followers had been hammering Gunn with questions on something from the reported Teen Titans film to New Gods. Unsurprisingly, the subsequent big-screen outing for Robert Pattinson’s Darkish Knight was additionally a subject of dialogue. Whereas followers shot some theories at Gunn, like asking in regards to the inclusion of Hush as a villain, Gunn held his floor and supplied a really direct reply to the onslaught of rumors and hypothesis:
Once more every part you have heard is a complete guess or made up.

One factor that isn’t made up, although, is that Matt Reeves lastly has lastly turned in a accomplished script for The Batman: Half II. A publish just lately shared by Reeves confirmed him and co-writer Mattson Tomlin within the background with the finished script on the forefront. That screenplay has been a very long time, with even Robert Pattinson pondering he could be getting too outdated to play Batman. Additionally, Gunn just lately revealed the script in query is excellent.
Regardless that Gunn has no downside instilling confidence in future DC initiatives, he has nonetheless insisted on staying mum about potential villains and any casting conversations. Whereas Pattinson continues to be anticipated to reprise his function because the Caped Crusader within the sequel to The Batman, the Matt Reeves movies stay exterior the prolonged universe that Gunn and the workforce at DC are constructing. The workforce is predicted to solid a unique actor as Batman to take part within the prolonged universe, which David Corenswet’s Superman is part of.
It doesn’t matter what James Gunn says, although, fan theories will doubtless by no means cease. Batman villains particularly are among the juiciest characters, with actors like Heath Ledger, Cillian Murphy and Paul Dano completely nailing their roles. A personality like Hush can be yet one more unimaginable alternative for an actor to showcase what they will do throughout the superhero style. As a lot as this might all be a guess, like Gunn stated, I feel any new thought is value mentioning to the DC head honcho.
