With BATMAN VS SUPERMAN showcasing the new Dark Knight
alongside Wonder Woman and potentially Dwayne Johnson as Green Lantern, the DC
Cinematic Universe is slowly coming together. We have heard rumblings of
appearances from Aquaman and Green Arrow and now some more rumors may support
the appearance of another Justice League member in the sequel to MAN OF STEEL.
While Latino Review may be pretty hit or miss these days
with their inside sources, they were correct about the casting call that turned
out to be for Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Now, it appears Zack Snyder and the
studio are searching for a physically fit, African American male in his early
20s for an undisclosed role. This could be for a non-hero role, or it could be
for Cyborg.
Latino Review also claims that Zack Snyder met with Michael
B. Jordan for the role, so it likely is not some minor part. With Jordan taking
the part of Johnny Storm in THE FANTASTIC FOUR, the potential for this role to
be any hero, African American or otherwise, is wide open. DC, as with the
casting of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, is not going to just play it safe and
could be changing the ethnicity of any character. They already cast Laurence
Fishburne as Perry White and made Jimmy Olsen into a girl, so anything is
possible.
What do you think: is DC looking for a Cyborg? We will know
for sure when BATMAN VS SUPERMAN hits theaters on May 6, 2016.
