James Gunn says that numerous big-name actors have approached him about playing Batman in The Brave and The Bold.

In a new interview with IGN, Gunn shared some updates on the first Batman film of the DCU, The Brave and The Bold. The first thing to note is that the film is still in a state of flux. When asked about Damian Wayne’s role in the film, Gunn replied, “No, I think you have to wait to see the movie. Some things have changed. Plenty of things are in flux on what his situation is with his parentage and all that stuff.”

Gunn went on to add, “Listen, first of all, I can’t tell you the amount of big actors that have told me they want to be Batman. I think you’d have a harder time finding actors who don’t want to be Batman. He’s the one character everyone wants to play. That’s the truth.”

When asked to clarify if Damian was even still in the film, Gunn said, “I think you have to wait to see exactly what’s happening.”

As of right now, no release date has been announced for The Brave and The Bold.
