With the multiverse antics seen in DC’s The Flash, it raises the question: just who are the actors that will be carried over into James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe, anyway? When news first broke about Gunn taking on the creative duties as the Co-CEO of DC Studios — alongside Safran — reports and assumptions immediately surfaced that his universe of movies would be a complete reboot of the so-called DC Extended Universe, the film franchise that originally kicked off with Zack Snyder’s 2013 effort Man of Steel. However, that has turned out not to be quite the case since some of the legacy actors from the DCEU will, in fact, carry over to the DCU, while others will not. In that sense, Gunn’s machinations can more closely be described as a partial reboot. But just which actors will have the bragging rights of saying they’ve been part of both the DCEU and the DCU?
Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller
One of the earliest confirmed actors to be returning to the DCU after starring in the DCEU is the Oscar-winning Viola Davis continuing her role as Task Force X boss Amanda Waller. Davis first appeared in the role in 2016’s Suicide Squad and has made regular appearances in the DCEU ever since, including 2021’s The Suicide Squad and the HBO Max original series Peacemaker. Back in January of this year, it was confirmed that Davis would be starring in her own spin-off series on HBO Max called Waller. In fact, Gunn has specifically said that Waller will be a continuation of Peacemaker and that it will be using the same actors from that show, according to Deadline.
