Fresh reports have suggested that the six lead cast members from Zack Snyder’s Justice League era of DCEU will not be returning in any capacity in the new DCU led by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Both are overseeing the relaunch of DCEU, which involves making decisions regarding the actors roped in by Zack Snyder.
Well, that makes room for other actors to make a strong case for themselves to be cast in the DCU. Riverdale star Lili Reinhart did something similar with her Halloween costume this spooky season.
Actors including Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher might not be seen in any future DCU projects led by James Gunn. While it was previously only confirmed for Henry Cavill, it seems the other five actors will be joining him in his DCU departure.

In a recent post, Lili Reinhart sported the costume of Harley Quinn. While the image doesn’t confirm that Reinhart will be joining the DCEU, it has still sparked major fan speculation.
The latest portrayal of Harley Quinn was done by Margot Robbie, debuting in Suicide Squad and later reprising her role in Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad. Her performance in the first film received a positive response from fans and critics alike. Sadly, her involvement in Zack Snyder’s planned universe was short-lived due to some bad decisions.
During an interview with Comicbook.com, the actress was inquired about the live-action romance between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Robbie said,
“I have been pushing for that for years. I cannot tell you how hard I’ve been pushing for that. I want it too.”
When asked about who should be cast as Poison Ivy, Margot Robbie chose to stay mum without mentioning any actress’ name.
Does Margot Robbie Have a Future In James Gunn’s DCU?
According to a recent report from Variety, James Gunn has plans to bring new actors as Justice League members to his DCU. While Gunn has already confirmed that David Corenswet will be assuming the role of Superman in the upcoming film, the report also clarified the outlook on the remaining cast members.
Gunn suggested that characters like Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller, John Cena’s Peacemaker, and Xolo Maridueña as Blue Beetle could reprise their roles in future DCU projects.
Considering Margot Robbie’s popularity as Harley Quinn, it remains to be seen if she will be replaced as Harley Quinn or not. The recent success of Barbie could also influence the studio’s decision for the role.
