8 Nov
Summary
- Alan Ritchson confirms discussions about joining the DC Universe
- Ritchson open to playing a hero or villain, not just traditional superhero
- Ritchson's past role as Hawk on 'Titans' was complex and brutal

As of November 8th, 2025, actor Alan Ritchson has confirmed that he has been in discussions with DC Studios about joining the DC Universe (DCU). Ritchson, who is currently promoting his upcoming 2025 movie "Play Date", told ScreenRant that he is open to taking on a new role in the DCU, whether it be as a hero or a villain.
Ritchson's past experience playing the complex character of Hawk on the DC series "Titans" has likely made him an appealing option for the studio. Hawk, also known as Hank Hall, was known for his complicated relationship with his partner Dove, as well as his more brutal methods of dealing with criminals. This suggests that Ritchson could bring a unique and compelling perspective to a potential new DCU character.
Given Ritchson's star power, industry experts believe that if he does join the DCU, it would likely be in a leading or key supporting role. Some fans have even speculated that he could be a good fit to play the DCU's version of Batman, though DC Studios co-head James Gunn has not confirmed any such plans. Regardless of the specific character, Ritchson's involvement in the DCU would undoubtedly generate significant excitement among fans.
