This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.With James Gunn"s DC Universe now up and running, former members of the Arrowverse have revealed if they would want to join the new franchise. Following its ending in 2023, the DCEU movie timeline is being replaced by the new DCU franchise, as Gunn and Peter Safran are taking the DC brand into the next era. As Superman arrives this summer, more DCU movies and TV shows are on their way, meaning there will be an endless number of heroes and villains to cast in the new continuity.
At this year"s MegaCon, a Legends of Tomorrow panel was hosted by ScreenRant"s own Joe Deckelmeier, featuring Brandon Routh, Matt Ryan, Caity Lotz, and Arthur Darvill, where they were briefly asked about Gunn"s new DCU franchise. When they were asked if there were any characters that would love to play in DC Studios" newly launched superhero continuity, each of the Arrowverse alums shared the following responses:

Brandon Routh: “Superman”
Matt Ryan: “John Constantine”
Arthur Darvill: “Alfred”
Caity Lotz: “Catwoman”

What Matt Ryan, Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz & Arthur Darvill's DC Comments Mean For The DCU Close Since the Legends of Tomorrow cast members gave very different answers, there are many ways to look at their responses to wanting to join the DCU timeline. For Routh, the Superman gig is obviously already taken, with David Corenswet headlining the 2025 installment this summer and for the rest of the DCU. The only other way Routh could play Superman again in any capacity is if DC Studios gave him his own Elseworlds property, assuming that they would want multiple Superman franchises at the same time.
Ryan wanting to play Constantine again is, however, less complicated, as there is no one occupying that role in any of the DCU movies and TV shows that have been announced thus far. Given how Ryan has become synonymous with Constantine, it wouldn"t be shocking if DC Studios perhaps would try to consider having him the DCU"s version of the character, even if it means having the actor play a completely new take on him. For Lotz and Darvill, their dream roles would be easier to accomplish since they have never played Catwoman and Alfred before, nor are there any stars playing them right now in the DCU.
Our Take On Matt Ryan, Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz & Arthur Darvill's DCU Casting Comments

While time will tell if the DCU will ever bring in actors from the Arrowverse franchise, it would definitely be fun to see several of those stars getting another shot at playing a superhero, or supervillain, for DC Studios. But for now, it will likely be quite a while before anyone from the Arrowverse gets tapped to play any role in the DCU, as DC Studios is likely trying to keep their franchise as fresh as possible. Hopefully, down the line, Arrowverse fans may get to see some familiar faces in the DCU.
