Fans Want Timothée Chalamet in the Role of Nightwing in James Gunn’s New DC Universe Film

Recently, Timothée Chalamet, known for his dynamic and skillful acting, has become a popular choice among fans to play Dick Grayson, or Nightwing, in the upcoming DC Universe movie The Brave and the Bold.

The character of Nightwing, originally Batman’s sidekick Robin, emerges as a leader and a figure of inspiration after shedding his early moniker. This evolution aligns well with Chalamet’s own career trajectory—from emerging talent to established star. With James Gunn’s fresh vision set to redefine the Bat Family, speculation about Chalamet stepping into this iconic role has intensified, spurred not only by his physical resemblance to the character but also by his acting prowess.

While Chalamet has not yet graced the superhero genre, his considerations for such roles are thoughtful and deliberate. Previously advised by Leonardo DiCaprio to steer clear of superhero films and hard drugs, Chalamet has expressed openness to roles that offer substantive content and are guided by directors whose vision he trusts. His admiration for The Dark Knight suggests a respect for stories that offer depth alongside their spectacle.

Winston Duke, who voiced The Dark Knight in the audio drama Batman Unburied, would love to play the DC icon in live-action.

Gunn’s DCU is set to bring a narrative depth and character-driven storytelling that could potentially align with Chalamet’s selective criteria. As the DCU prepares to integrate the Teen Titans into its cinematic universe, Nightwing is expected to play a significant role. The integration of this character offers an intriguing potential pathway for Chalamet to enter the superhero genre under the right circumstances—combining a compelling script and visionary directorial oversight.

Meanwhile, Drake Rodger, known from the Supernatural spinoff The Winchesters, has expressed a keen interest in portraying Nightwing. With Gotham City set to feature prominently in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s plans, the iconic Bat-Family will be a central focus. The Brave and the Bold is confirmed to include multiple members from Batman’s entourage, notably Dick Grayson. Rodger revealed in a recent interview his aspiration to audition for the role of Nightwing, hoping to bring the character to life in the new DC Universe.
