Tom Cruise, despite being one of the biggest action stars in the world, has yet to step into the comic cinematic universe. Throughout his illustrious four-decade career, he has not appeared in any Marvel or DC movies. While A-listers like Dwayne Johnson and Emilia Clarke have recently made their superhero movie debuts, fans have eagerly awaited news of Cruise's entry into the genre.
Fortunately, it seems that James Gunn's DCU might fulfill fans' wishes, as Warner Bros studio is reportedly pursuing Cruise for the role of Hal Jordan, also known as 'The Green Lantern'. Recently, a Twitter user named KC Walsh (@TheComixKid) announced that Cruise is being courted for a DC Studios project. Sources suggest that Cruise would take on the role of Hal Jordan, the 'Green Lantern', within the DCU.
Special screening for Cruise!
As fans eagerly anticipate Cruise's potential entry into the DC Universe and his portrayal of the iconic Green Lantern, his positive response to ‘The Flash’ has further fueled excitement for his involvement. During a meeting in late February, Tom Cruise and Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav discussed the remarkable nature of ‘The Flash’ movie.
Intrigued by Zaslav's comments, Cruise expressed his eagerness to watch it. Accommodating his request, arrangements were made to send a copy of the movie directly to Cruise's residence in Beverly Hills.
The delivery, however, was far from ordinary. A Warner Bros employee personally brought the movie to Cruise and remained present until the actor had completed watching ‘The Flash’. Cruise found the film incredibly captivating, prompting him to reach out to the movie's director, Andy Muschietti. Muschietti was pleasantly surprised by this unexpected call from Cruise.
Insiders reveal that Cruise showered ‘The Flash’ with accolades, describing it as the epitome of an ideal movie and stressing its relevance in the current cinematic landscape. His enthusiasm for the film was palpable throughout their conversation, leaving a lasting impact on everyone involved.
The most anticipated superhero movie
Ezra Miller takes on the role of DC's Scarlet Speedster in 'The Flash', leading a star-studded cast that includes the return of Michael Keaton as Batman and the anticipated reprisal of Ben Affleck as the 'Dark Knight'.
The journey to bring ‘The Flash’ to the big screen has been a lengthy one, marked by multiple director changes along the way. Throughout these challenges, Ezra Miller remained committed to the project. Additionally, Miller faced personal obstacles that posed potential obstacles to the movie's production and release.
However, the arduous journey is finally reaching its conclusion. Warner Bros holds immense confidence in the film, going as far as screening the complete movie for theater owners at CinemaCon in April, nearly two months ahead of its official release date. This gesture reflects the studio's high expectations and excitement surrounding ‘The Flash’.
