James Gunn Shuts Down Jensen Ackles Batman Casting Rumors

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has shut down rumors that Supernatural star Jensen Ackles has been cast as the DCU's Batman.

Social media feeds caught fire over the weekend when comic book fans learned that The Boys alum had recently followed the DC movie bigwig on Instagram. Ackles, a self-proclaimed Batman fanatic, has long been a fan-favorite pick to play Bruce Wayne in the DCU, but if he is joining the budding cinematic superhero universe, he hasn't done it quite yet.

Gunn poured cold water on the recently reignited rumors over on his preferred social media platform, Threads, when replying to a post covering the subject earlier today. He said he had no idea Ackles had dropped him a follow and that he was "going to follow him back." Sadly, that's about the extent of their interactions over the years.

"Thanks for letting me know," Gunn said. "I'm going to follow him back. I met him once 20 years ago when he was dating a friend of mine. Nice guy. We haven't cast him as anything yet."

While the "yet" in that sentence might give some hope, any dreams that the actor might play Batman have been put to rest, at least for now. Fans have long named Ackles as their pick to play the Caped Crusader in some form for a few reasons, including the fact that he already doesn't look half bad wearing the Batsuit.

The Dean Winchester actor has famously suited up in full Batman gear before and even made IGN's list for best celebrity Halloween outfits in 2019 .
