Batman V Superman: 10 Characters Scoot McNairy Could Be Playing
5. Jay Garrick
After seeing green on McNairys legs (and only his legs), many thoughts turned to super-speedster The Flash. Even with Barry Allen now cast, theres been multiple Flashes over the years, including the original, Jay Garrick. The current incarnation of Garrick is a resident of the alternate Earth-2. Traditionally an older man, this new version is much younger and received his powers from the dying Roman god Mercury.
With McNairy not being an old man, he falls in line with this new version of Garrick. The character could take on a mentor role to Ezra Millers Flash, while still being nimble enough to join the fight himself. The idea of Scoot as Garrick appeals on two fronts: it allows a skilled actor to explore new territory while also introducing a character with strong ties to the expanded DC mythology.
And dont fret about The Flash TV show; if they can live with two Barry Allens, anything can happen.
