DC On Film Casting News Roundup

2627

Here are three bits of DC on film casting news that you may (or may not) have missed the last couple of days…

Dame Helen Mirren has joined the cast of SHAZAM: FURY OF THE GODS and will play the villain Hespera…

With Billy Crudup out of THE FLASH, Ron Livingston has been cast to replace him as Barry Allen’s father, Henry Allen (via VARIETY)…

And finally — and I absolutely LOVE this — Pierce Brosnan will play Dr. Fate in BLACK ADAM! (via THR)

Speaking of BLACK ADAM and The Justice Society…

If Warner Bros. doesn’t have plans for a BLACK ADAM spinoff based on The Justice Society, they need to get that project rolling, like, yesterday!  Do it as a period film set during WWII or even the Cold War era of the 1950s.  And I don’t care if it’s a feature film or an HBOMax prestige series, just do it! – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
