![]() A mainstay on the beloved Super Friends and Justice League cartoons, The Flash had a cult hit live-action show in 1990 and a long-running live-action show on the CW network, which just ended its ninth and final season. One of the oldest and most consistently popular superheroes in all of comics, The Flash has enjoyed plenty of popularity outside of comic books. The first film of Chapter 1: Gods & Monsters aka Superman: Legacy kicks off DCU on July 11, 2025.Ironic as it may seem, The Flash was slow coming to the silver screen. And so, despite the backlash that now surrounds the Peacemaker writer, all that fans need to do now is put their trust in the fact that Gunn will churn out the best version of DCU to date. James Gunn is already known to be a great writer and filmmaker but what often gets lost in the haze of controversy is that he also has a knack for recognizing an actor who is fit for a role within the first few times of meeting them. Has Tenet not proven enough about the versatile ability of the legacy actor, John David Washington already? Does one need to watch Malcolm & Marie to believe the incredulous range of the actor who can portray so much even in his moments of quiet and solitary contemplation? Do not all of these traits perfectly define the Martian Manhunter? Why even debate any further about who gets the coveted spot as the 7th member of the new Justice League? And who better than The Northman actor, Alexander Skarsgård to take on the role? Martian Manhunter John David Washington An actor like Jason Momoa comes only once in a generation and as such, we, as fans collectively turn toward our Nordic brethren for help. There exist no questions or doubts regarding who leads the casting choice for the Atlantean who rules over the seas and oceans. On the other hand, if it is John Stewart that ends up securing the place, one need not look further than John David Washington, vouched for by Christopher Nolan himself. And as for Efron, his Disney image has far been shed and replaced with a host of cultured and nuanced performances via films like The Greatest Showman and Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, making him equally worthy of the Justice League spot, if DC is aiming for cashing in on bigger names. The actor proved himself as a fighter pilot on the big screen already and his performance in Top Gun: Maverick suggests a vibe that matches that of the upbeat character. However, no other actor could be better for the role of the test pilot turned heroic savior of the day other than Glen Powell. But the popular vote seems to have gone to either Alden Ehrenreich or Zac Efron as Hal Jordan. There exists an unending list of actors suited to be the intergalactic ring bearer, depending on which version the DC audience will get to see in the new Justice League. Green Lantern Glen Powell as “Hangman” in Top Gun: Maverick Her physicality combined with the incredible range of talent she has portrayed since her breakthrough role in the Percy Jackson films as a Greek demigoddess makes her the perfect cast for the Amazonian warrior. To remain close to the comic book portrayal of Wonder Woman, the best-voted contender is Alexandra Daddario. However, if one steps away from the furious and ongoing debate on race and ethnicity that surrounds the last actor that portrayed the superhero, one can find a host of actresses suitable for the role. The Comic book lore has always depicted Diana Prince as a white female with striking eyes that are blue enough to put Daniel Craig to shame.
