Now that we all know who’ll headline the primary a part of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC universe, the query (and hypothesis) has naturally pivoted to who can present up in what film. Superhero followers have been educated for over a decade to anticipate extra than simply the title characters in a movie or present, and the eclectic lineup of exhibits and movies presents some attention-grabbing alternatives for visitor appearances.

Lately, IGN made a ballot asking followers which DC characters they wished to see pop in future movies. In the long run, the highest 10 got here all the way down to Nightwing, Crimson Hood, Mr. Freeze, Zatanna, John Constantine, Deathstroke, the Courtroom of Owls, Brainiac, Martian Manhunter, and Lobo. With a screenshot of the outcomes posted to his Instagram Tales, the eternally on-line Gunn added gas to the hypothesis hearth by asking “Will 5 of 10 do?”

If we’re meant to imagine these characters could have substantial roles in no matter film they’re in, then at the very least two of them really feel like no-brainers, given the slate of introduced movies. Batman: The Courageous & the Daring was beforehand stated by Safran to characteristic different Bat-family members which were “omitted of the Batman tales within the theater for a lot too lengthy,” so you’ll be able to fairly assume Dick and Jason will characteristic in that film to some extent. Because it’s meant to introduce Damian Wayne, the youngest Robin of the bunch, bringing in two of his huge brothers is simply pure.

It’s the opposite characters who’re larger query marks. You might argue that Brainiac and Deathstroke might fill two spots; followers have wished the previous to be in a Superman film for years, and he’d be a superb risk for an inexperienced Kal-El. Deathstroke confirmed up within the animated Son of Batman adaptation, and like Courageous & the Daring, it was impressed by the 2008 run by Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert. Zatanna and/or Constantine may additionally function good candidates due to the Swamp Factor characteristic, as each magic customers are frequent allies with the humanoid superhero. Assuming that Gunn wouldn’t wish to have two Constantines working round, that’s.

Out of that 10-person lineup, tell us which 5 characters you assume will present up within the first spherical of DC motion pictures within the feedback under.
