James Gunn almost confirms Superman\u2019s Frank Grillo for Man of Tomorrow<\/p>\n
James Gunn discussed Frank Grillo\u2019s future in the DC Universe during his appearance on The Morning After Pod<\/a> after the release of Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6.<\/p>\n He said audiences could \u201cstart to guess\u201d Grillo\u2019s involvement after watching the episode. The scene showed Rick Flag Sr. making a deal with Lex Luthor. Gunn added, \u201cFrank talked about the next\u2026 he\u2019s doing something else with us,\u201d and noted fans would understand more after seeing the installment. Grillo first voiced Rick Flag Sr. in Creature Commandos and later reprised the role in Peacemaker.<\/p>\n Gunn described the character as \u201cmorally flexible\u201d and \u201cmanipulative.\u201d He explained that Flag often acts on instinct rather than planning, which leads to major mistakes. Gunn stressed that Flag is not a villain. Instead, he is protective and vengeful, with a few weaknesses.<\/p>\n Gunn also tied Flag Sr.\u2019s role to Superman 2, aka Man of Tomorrow. He said the Peacemaker episode showed \u201ca partnership [beginning] between two, an unlikely pairing of people,\u201d meaning Flag and Lex Luthor. Gunn stated, \u201cThis is not the end of that,\u201d confirming continuity for Grillo\u2019s character in the Superman sequel.<\/p>\n He added that Flag feels conflicted about arresting Superman. \u201cHe feels bad about the whole situation,\u201d Gunn said, but Flag later becomes cautious of the power balance between governments, corporations, and metahumans.<\/p>\n Gunn explained that the larger story will explore these three structures fighting for control. He said metahumans are \u201cdoing something they haven\u2019t done for 300 years\u201d by asserting independence. He positioned Flag Sr. as a character who can \u201ctravel in and out of these stories\u201d as a human tied to wider political and corporate struggles.<\/p>\n Man of Tomorrow is scheduled to be released on July 9, 2027.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Man of Tomorrow Cast Possibly Adds Another Superman Star<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Gunn recently hinted at casting developments for Man of Tomorrow, likely confirming that another Superman-related character will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":61517,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,42393,61,60,4208,40768,270,42394],"class_list":{"0":"post-61516","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-frank-grillo","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-james-gunn","13":"tag-lex-luthor","14":"tag-movies","15":"tag-superman-2"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61516\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
