John Krasinski is rumored to play Batman in Andy Muschetti’s The Brave and The Bold.

While it seems like James Gunn is focusing all his time and energy is only shaping Superman: Legacy, it is the project that is making the most number of headlines. But the DCU co-boss is also looking into other projects. We already know that he has a confirmed line up for Chapter One: Gods And Monsters, he is developing multiple Justice League projects, and if that wasn’t enough there are also the HBO Max. While all of this is a fodder for discussion, the biggest question after finding that David Corenswet is the new Superman, is who will be the next Batman. What if we tell you it’s John Krasinski?

Ben Affleck recently announced he will not reprise his role as the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and while the film will reportedly focus on the exploits of a younger Bruce Wayne, that hasn’t stopped fans from imagining all kinds of actors for the role through fan art. Now, the latest fan art depicts John Krasinski as Ben Affleck’s Batman replacement. 

Ben Affleck recently announced he will not reprise his role as the Caped Crusader in the upcoming solo film from director Matt Reeves. Plot details for The Batman are currently under wraps, though the film will center around a younger Bruce Wayne and includes multiple villains. Matt Reeves also confirmed that it will not be directly based on Frank Miller’s Year One comic and will use of the Dark Knight’s detective skills to a greater extent than previous films.

For the unversed, as Gunn introduced Superman: Legacy as the very first movie, the fans and audience were sure there will be Batman joining him on that roster. The line up for Chapter One included The Brave And The Bold, a comic series with Batman in the centre. James and Peter Safran have decided to change the entire face of DCU and are recasting almost every possible superhero.

So, we were prepared to see a new Bruce Wayne after Henry Cavill’s unceremonious exit, and Ben Affleck confirming his adieu. Reports now suggest that James Gunn has found his new Batman for The Brave And The Bold in a Marvel Cinematic Universe actor, and seems like he is bringing another actor in the DCU from his Marvel umbrella. Reed Richards alumni John Krasinski is now rumoured to be the new Bruce Wayne
