Alan Ritchson teases talks with James Gunn's DC Universe

Alan Ritchson revealed he is in discussion with the DC heads for a role in the new universe.

The star appeared in an interview with ScreenRant's Liam Crowley for his upcoming movie Playdate.

The 42-year-old had not specified which character he has insight in for, but gave a broad idea of the role "messier" role in Gunn's franchise.

When asked the Reacher star replied, "Yeah. Yes. That's the conversation that I've been having with them is like, 'I want to play somebody a little messier.'”

He continued, "And I told them, I said, if I'm going to do this, I described to them the kind of personality that I'd want to play and what that would mean to their world, and I think it's something everybody wants to see right now over there."

The father of three simply added, "So yes, I want to play somebody a little dirtier than your typical clean-cut protagonist."

Earlier, the American star also ruled out to play Batman, no longer being interested in the super hero genre in general.

Yet, " I strongly don’t think that Batman is in my future. I do think there is something in my future with DC. And I would like that to remain true," he told Variety.

Notably, the Fast X actor previously shared the character he wants to play in the DCU. It was Wildcat, a boxer-turned-hero.
