The biggest question surroundingThe Brave and The Boldis theBatman casting process, as fans are actively waiting to see who will suit up as the Caped Crusader.
With casting rumors constantly flying around online, a fan recently checked withGunnon Threadsif it was true that they are already casting the DCU’s Batman in the franchise. However, Gunn gave a very clear response to what is going on withThe Brave and the Boldcasting process. Check it out below:

What James Gunn’s DCU Batman Casting Update Means
While it is unclear which specificBatman movie rumorrecently gained traction about DC Studios currently looking for their Bruce Wayne,it’s crucial to remember thatThe Brave and the Bolddoesn’t even have a finished script as of this writing. Gunn has made it clear that casting won’t begin for any DC Studios project until the screenplay is completed with a set vision in mind.
There is no way forThe Brave and the Boldmovieto be looking for an actor if they are still developing the story for the film,which could make it the biggest Batman film to date. With the Bat-Family reportedly going to be a factor, there are a lot of aspects to still figure out before they even begin casting.
Our Take On James Gunn’s DCU Batman Casting Update
Seeing Gunn set the record straight is always appreciated,given how the superhero genre has a tendency to have a lot of false narratives gain traction in the rumor department. While DC Studios’Batman and Wonder Woman moviesremain big priorities for the DCU, fans should let big films like those get their proper time to be worked out.
With Matt Reeves’The Batman 2moviealso in the works,there will be a lot to look forward to with the Dark Knight in the coming years, both in and outside the DCU continuity. Hopefully, before 2025 is over, there will be more updates onThe Brave and the Boldfrom Gunn and DC Studios.
