Someone\u2019s interested in coming back. That someone is Pierce Brosnan, who is perhaps best known for his tenure as the iconic 007 AKA James Bond<\/a> \u2014 but he\u2019s not looking to return as the legendary spy. He\u2019s interested in coming back as Doctor Fate<\/a> in James Gunn’s upcoming Man of Tomorrow<\/a>, which the actor has heard will reintroduce his former DCEU<\/a> role.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve heard that Doctor Fate was going to have his own show, or his own movie,\u201d Brosnan recently said during a recent interview with GQ<\/a>. “I\u2019ve heard that he\u2019s going to be in the next Superman. I enjoyed that, the philosophy of that character, very much, and I would definitely be open to it.”<\/p>\n

It would definitely be interesting to see Doctor Fate return in Man of Tomorrow. Brosnan has only played the character one time while appearing in the 2022 film Black Adam and, if you remember, Doctor Fate totally bit the bullet in that film. Plus, the movie was part of the old DCEU, the shared universe that existed before James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as studio heads. <\/p>\n

That said, the new DCU has already brought back characters from the previous regime before, so Brosnan\u2019s character would be one of several.<\/p>\n

How Gunn and co would do it, though, is the question. The thing that seems most plausible is to have Brosnan back to play a new version of the character. Gunn\u2019s Superman does tentatively set that up should they want to go that route \u2014 particularly with the mural in the Hall of Justice, which shows several major Justice Society of America heroes, of which Doctor Fate is a member \u2014 so the opportunity is there.<\/p>\n

That said, there\u2019s no confirmation just yet of Doctor Fate joining the new DCEU with Man of Tomorrow, and there\u2019s no official word on whether or not he\u2019s going to star in any spinoffs.<\/p>\n

Man of Tomorrow is currently set to arrive in theaters on July 9, 2027.<\/p>\n
