One of the more interesting aspects of the DCU so far is that it hasn\u2019t fully and totally thrown the baby out with the DCEU bathwater. The biggest example of this is James Gunn\u2019s baby, Peacemaker<\/a>, but there\u2019s no saying other elements and characters won\u2019t pop up in the future as well. Arguably the worst movie in the DCEU, 2022\u2019s Black Adam<\/a>, did have something of a bright spot in the form of Doctor Fate<\/a>, as played by Pierce Brosnan. While nothing else in that movie worked, Brosnan kinda ruled. Which is why we\u2019re intrigued by Brosnan himself saying he\u2019s heard Doctor Fate will appear in 2027\u2019s Man of Tomorrow<\/a>\u2026and that he\u2019d be happy to return.<\/p>\n Warner Bros.<\/p>\n In an interview with GQ<\/a> (h\/t IGN<\/a>), Brosnan explained that the initial plan was for his character\u2014the mystically powered elder statesmen of the Justice Society\u2014to be a mainstay of the franchise going forward. That was, of course, until Black Adam came out and failed to meet any expectations and effectively tanked Dwayne Johnson\u2019s takeover attempt of DC Studios. Anyway. Here\u2019s what Brosnan had to say:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve heard that Doctor Fate was going to have his own show, or his own movie. I\u2019ve heard that he\u2019s going to be in the next Superman. I enjoyed that, the philosophy of that character, very much, and I would definitely be open to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Now, people hear things all the time. Actors definitely hear lots of things. Does that mean it\u2019s true? Who can say? I suppose James Gunn can, and likely will, meaning this article will need to be rewritten. But for now, the concept that more superheroes will show up in Man of Tomorrow is definitely not that far-fetched. Superman obviously had loads more characters than just the titular caped one. If we know one thing about the DCU so far, it\u2019s that supporting heroes show up all the time. And with Mister Terrific a going concern, why not other members of the JSA?<\/p>\n Now, does that mean Brosnan\u2019s version of Dr. Kent Nelson will be back? Unclear, and even the actor himself seems not to know that much. But as I said before, he was perhaps the lone true highlight of that otherwise abysmal movie, so I wouldn\u2019t be mad to see the former James Bond tempt Fate once again.<\/p>\n Kyle Anderson is the Senior Editor for Nerdist.
