Alan Ritchson is in talks for a role in the DCU: "The conversation that I've been having with them is like, 'I want to play somebody a little messier.' 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."

Ritchson previously mentioned he was in conversation, but that Batman wasn't something he thought was possible.

i’d be happy with him playing Batman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, Bane or Shazam
Replying to @homeofdcu
Still holding out hope for Batman, yea, before someone says it, yea, ik, he has said he don't know if it'll happen or not, but that wasn't a "no" either soooooo, who knows? But I feel like this is confirming he'll be someone in the DCU, which is pretty cool

Messy could mean a lot of things. I still think he'd make an amazing Shazam but I don't think that's the kind of messy he was talking about

If it's a more sinister character, and one that suits his physique, perhaps this could be it, although Apollo would also suit him well.

Hit him with Shazam. Let his ‘tough guy’ persona start making 15 year old jokes. I want to see how that plays out lol
