In the ever-turning wheels of Hollywood gossip, director James Gunn finds himself once again at the center of swirling rumors. Recently, a social media user posted three intriguing images that sparked speculation about Gunn's involvement with Peter Safran's DC Universe. True to his enigmatic style, Gunn responded to the rumors in a cryptic yet playful manner, leaving fans guessing.
First on the list of rumors is the possibility of Plastic Man making his debut in the DC Universe. Gunn neither confirms nor denies this speculation, only offering a tantalizing hint that 'at least one of those things is not true.' Plastic Man, also known as Patrick 'Eel' O'Brian, is a former criminal turned hero with the remarkable ability to shapeshift into anything imaginable. With director Darren Aronofsky rumored to be in talks for a potential Plastic Man movie, fans are eager to see if this comedic and versatile character will grace the big screen.
Another rumor that has sparked interest is the inclusion of Ruthye Marye Knoll, a friend of Supergirl, in the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film. Fans are curious to know who would portray this character from the comic books, should the rumor prove to be true. Described as verbose, opinionated, and observant, Ruthye's rural, alien upbringing is said to be reflected in her personable, old-fashioned style. In contrast, Supergirl herself is depicted as a quieter, frontier-style hero, inspired by the Western genre. While James Gunn remains tight-lipped about Ruthye's potential inclusion, fans eagerly await any official news surrounding this integral character in Supergirl's world.
Lastly, there is speculation about the Teen Titans joining the ranks of the DC Universe. With the announcement of The Brave and the Bold movie, featuring Batman and his son Damian Wayne as Robin, the possibility of other Robin iterations and the Teen Titans emerges. Over the years, various Robins have been associated with the team, including Dick Grayson, the original Boy Wonder who later became Nightwing, and Tim Drake, the third Robin. While this rumor is yet to be confirmed or refuted, the presence of the Titans in the DCU seems like a natural progression, considering their rich history and popularity among fans.
It's important to remember, however, that until James Gunn or Peter Safran provide official statements, these rumors remain just that—rumors. To stay updated with the confirmed projects scheduled for the DC Universe, fans can refer to James Gunn's official announcement below. As the rumor mill continues to churn, fans patiently await concrete information on what exciting developments await in the DC Universe.
