        In all fairness, one was a 2 second role and the rest are mocapped. This guy is going to be recurring as Max Lord.

        That said, if he casts him AGAIN in another onscreen role that's fricking stupid.

      At this point, no one in Hollywood wants to work with DC except Gunn's buds.

    I almost thought "Maxwell 'Alister' Lord the 2nd"

    But Sean Gunn ain't Filipino like that kid was in WW84.

        And here he is "young". The guy went from chiseled gigachad (with a French beak) to melting wax statue in no time.

      That's just Deadline speculation. Gunn seems inspired by the classic JLI run.

      He's still Weasel in the Creature Commandos series.

      Pedro Pascal should play Weasel as revenge.

    Remember when Gunn claimed he wouldn't cast characters for projects that didn't have a script yet?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

      Technically speaking Superman Legacy does have a finished script. But he WAS lying when he said he wasn't including all of these DC characters to set up their own movies and tv shows.

    If Gunn is keeping the Blue Beetle movie canon that means Max and Ted can stay friends

      He already said the movie wasn't canon but the character is. Also it flopped horribly and he didn't direct it, he's not keeping anything but Xolo.
