After his memorable performance inThe FlashTV Series, Grant Gustin was speculated to reprise his character in James Gunn’s DCU. Gustin has been a key contributor to the character’s success in live-action and has amassed a massive fan following. However, a certain group of fans have always spoken unfairly against the idea of Gustin in the DCU.
Grant Gustin’s Scarlet Speedster was initially introduced in theArrowseries before becoming a key element of theArrowversefor his widespread popularity. While many fans want Gustin to don the suit again and succeed Ezra Miller as the next big-screen Flash, some argue that the CW actor’s acting will be unsuitable for the big screen.
The criticism against Grant Gustin’s casting as The Flash in the DCU is logicless
When Barry Allen was last seen on the big screen,Ezra Millerplayed the character in the DCEU. While Miller’s take onThe Flashwas not horrendous, their personal controversies and legal troubles make it highly unlikely for them to reprise the role in the DCU. Amidst all this, some rumors stated that James Gunn may bringGrant Gustin‘s Flash into his universe.

It cannot be denied that all the DC shows on The CW have not been impressive. But some of the performances are still etched in fans’ minds. AlthoughThe Flashseries saw a great decline in quality with each season, Gustin is still hailed as the best live-action version of the character. Still, a Redditorcommentedthat Gustin can never be suitable for a big-budget flick with his acting skills, only fit for a CW show.
The 34-year-old actor is often subjected to hate by certain people who think his acting skills can only work in a small show and also compare him to the likes of bigger actors who worked in DC. Nevertheless, as many Gustin fans stated, this comparison is very unfair as several popular actors started their careers with TV Shows.

On the other hand, James Gunn alsoaddressedthe rumors saying that Grant Gustin is a very talented actor and he would love to work with him someday. Considering, that Gunn is trying to make his DCU as different as possible from DCEU, it may be a possibility that we don’t spot Gustin as Barry Allen but some other version of Flash.
Despite the unfair criticisms against his DCU casting, Grant Gustin amassed a massive fan following for playing The Flash. If he ever appears in the DCU, it will undoubtedly raise a huge buzz among hardcore DC fans.
