Alan Ritchson Turned Down a Role in the DC Universe
Alan Ritchson, whose name has been frequently linked to DC projects lately, has been in the news with his statements. While fans have long been suggesting he play various characters, the actor’s approach has shifted expectations. His statements, particularly regarding potential roles, have raised questions about which characters he could play in the future. These remarks have sparked considerable debate both within the fan community and the industry.
Ritchson’s Statement on Aquaman
In an interview, Alan Ritchson emphatically stated that he would not reprise the role of Aquaman. Expressing his respect for Jason Momoa, the actor stated that he would not want to reprise the role. However, Ritchson did not completely close the door to a different character in the DC universe, hinting that new possibilities could arise.
Ritchson’s DC history is quite striking. He previously played Hawk in Titans and, before that, Aquaman in Smallville. This history had led fans to anticipate a return to the role. However, recent announcements have squashed that possibility.
The actor’s openness to various roles could open new avenues for him in the new DC universe created by James Gunn and Peter Safran. While it’s currently unknown which character he could be considered for, Ritchson’s action-oriented performance is seen as a good fit for many powerful characters. This has led fans to speculate.
Meanwhile, Aquaman’s role in the new DC universe remains unclear. Jason Momoa is now focused on Lobo, and Aquaman isn’t a priority among new projects. DC Studios’ current plans include Clayface, Lanterns, Supergirl, and Man of Tomorrow. Prioritizing characters like Batman and Wonder Woman seems likely to postpone Aquaman’s return even further.
