Many actors would jump at the chance to land a sought-after role in either the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) or James Gunn’s growing DC Universe franchise. It’s not just about playing awesome characters; it’s about becoming part of a close-knit community with a passionate fanbase. The opportunities at geek conventions, the chance to have merchandise created, and all the benefits of being in a popular comic book movie, along with a good salary, all sound fantastic. Therefore, it’s understandable that Matthew Lillard is hoping for a call from his friend James Gunn – he’s eager to join the DCU.
As most of us fans know, Damian Lillard is set to appear in the second season of the MCU’s Daredevil: Born Again. I’m really looking forward to learning more about his role and what the show has in store when it arrives on Disney+ in 2026. But, at Los Angeles Comic Con 2026, Lillard shared that he’d love to work with James Gunn again in the DCU. Variety reports that the two previously collaborated on Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed-a fun bit of trivia for us movie buffs!
“It feels like forever! I’ve always dreamed of being part of a superhero universe,” Lillard shared with the crowd. “Specifically, I’m hoping for a role in the DCU, if anyone is wondering. Tell James Gunn I’m ready and willing if you see him!”
He could easily just reach out to Gunn and mention it. It wouldn’t be surprising if Lillard showed up in the DCU somehow, perhaps even just for a quick cameo. We’re curious to think about what character he might play in that world…
