9 Ways DC Could Respond To Spider-Man Joining The MCU
2. Casting Announcements
Nothing gets fans going quite like casting news - see what happened when the announcements were made for who was starring in Suicide Squad? Fans still don't know who'll play Green Lantern, for example, or what kind of villains will be played by what kind of actors in Aquaman, The Flash or Shazam. If the rumours are true that itll be Peter Parker, and not the mixed race Miles Morales, wholl be taking on Spider-Man duties for Marvel, its possible the creatives and execs behind the movie have missed a trick. Before Marvel announced its Phase Three plans, DC had already told the world how it was giving a woman (Gal Gadot, as Wonder Woman), a man of mixed Native American heritage (Jason Momoa, as Aquaman) and a self-identified queer actor (Ezra Miller, as The Flash) their own standalone superhero movies. It was a bold move, considering most superheroes up to this point had been almost exclusively portrayed by hetero white men. If DC wants to capitalise on the fan disappointment that it will once again be Parker and not Morales wearing the Spider-suit, it and Warner Bros. could always stand to diversify further and grab headlines with its casting and superhero choices.
