Wicked: For Good star Jonathan Bailey<\/strong><\/a> isn\u2019t opposed to playing Batman<\/strong><\/a> in James Gunn<\/a>\u2018s DC Universe<\/strong><\/a>, although his demands for who plays Robin<\/a> will likely need to be met before he\u2019d consider taking on such an iconic role.<\/p>\n Bailey recently appeared on The Tonight Show<\/a> to chat with host Jimmy Fallon<\/a> about being named People\u2019s Sexiest Man Alive and his new movie, Wicked: For Good, in which he returns as Prince Fiyero. Naturally, Fallon took the opportunity to ask Bailey if he could address a few fan-castings the actor has found himself attached to in recent months, namely that of Bruce Wayne\/Batman for the DCU<\/a>.<\/p>\n Before Bailey answered the question, he joked to Fallon that \u201ccan be my Robin,\u201d an unexpected casting what if that The Tonight Show host quickly agreed to. The Wicked star then took a moment to seriously ponder whether he\u2019d want to play Batman, remarking, \u201cWould I do Batman? I grew up with Val Kilmer, George Clooney, obviously Christian Bale, and Robert Pattinson. It\u2019s a legacy. I think James Gunn is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n Unfortunately for fans, Bailey never gave a definitive answer, although he jokingly teased to Fallon, \u201cWho knows what the next Jimmy Fallon appearance [might hold].\u201d Check out the conversation between Bailey and Fallon regarding playing the DCU\u2019s Batman and Robin at around the 5:45 mark in the video below:<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear when DC Studios will begin actively looking<\/a> for an actor to portray the DCU\u2019s Batman, who is expected to make his official debut in the forthcoming live-action movie, The Brave and the Bold. Andy Muschietti remains attached to direct the superhero reboot, which will pull inspiration from Grant Morrison\u2019s comic book run, \u201cBatman and Son,\u201d which introduced Damian Wayne into the main DC Comics continuity.<\/p>\n Batman fans have Matt Reeves\u2019 non-DCU movie, The Batman Part II<\/a> to look forward to in the meantime. The highly anticipated superhero sequel is expected to begin production in early 2026, ahead of its planned release in theaters in October 2027.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Lee Freitag on SuperHeroHype.<\/a><\/p>\n The post Jonathan Bailey Talks DCU Batman Fan Casts, Has Wild Pick for Robin<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wicked: For Good star Jonathan Bailey isn\u2019t opposed to playing Batman in James Gunn\u2018s DC Universe, although his demands for who plays Robin will likely need to be met before he\u2019d consider taking on such an iconic role.
