Summary

• Some Titans actors could be perfect for new DCU roles.
• James Gunn's DCU could use Titans' stars like Brenton Thwaites as Green Lantern, Joshua Orpin as Shazam, Anna Diop as Nubia, and more.
• Alan Ritchson has become one of the most popular choices for the new Batman.

The new announced DCU projects, that could soon change.

DC has found a lot of success in the TV space, with Smallville and the Arrowverse being two extremely popular franchises. Titans' talented cast was always consistently great. With actors from the show wanting to appear in the DCU and one becoming a fan-favorite for Batman, Titans' series finale might not be the end for multiple cast .

10 Iain Glen As Alfred Pennyworth

From Batman To Alfred

Iain Glen is an excellent actor, but his casting as Bruce Wayne in Titans was a shocking choice. The actor had some interesting moments in the series, mainly when he had heartwarming scenes with Brenton Thwaites' Dick Grayson, Batman's first Robin, but Glen never got to wear the suit and fully become the Dark Knight. After his bout as an older Batman, the actor could return for the perfect role for him in the DCU.

When he was first cast, fans were shocked that it was for Bruce Wayne and not his butler, Alfred Pennyworth. Glen's age, demeanor, and past roles show he would excel at playing Alfred in the DCU. In Game of Thrones, he showed he could be a protector and a mentor. In Titans, he had profound scenes with Bat-Family , and by uniting the two, the ideal Alfred could be born.

9 Minka Kelly As Black Canary

A Fierce DC Leader

Minka Kelly as the DCU's Black Canary would be perfect casting. The actress played Dove in Titans, with her character serving as the voice of reason to the original version of the superhero team. Kelly was great in fight scenes and played a character that was comionate and layered. That could serve as the basis for her work as Dinah Lance, aka Black Canary.

After Arrow barely explored the concept, the DCU could firmly present Green Arrow and Black Canary as a tag team, with the heroes being part of the Justice League and getting a t movie franchise or TV series. Kelly has the screen presence and experience to play a veteran superhero, and if she brings the grit that her Dove had when angry in Titans, she could make Black Canary a formidable hero.

8 Anna Diop As Nubia

The DCU's Wonder Woman Corner Will Be Rich

Anna Diop's Starfire was one of Titans' most important characters. The actress was an all-around great performer, delivering in action scenes, comedic moments, and emotional beats. The DCU will be paying more attention to the Wonder Woman mythos than the DCEU did, going deeper into the Amazons' history and rich well of characters. As such, Diop would make for a terrific casting choice as Nubia.

At the moment, DC has yet to announce a Wonder Woman movie for the new DCU. However, the Paradise Lost series is set to chronicle the history of the Amazons and Themyscira several years before Wonder Woman was born. That would create a rich corner of the DCU for Nubia and Diana Prince to be a part of, as both characters were born close to one another. Diop can perfectly bring Nubia's bold and confident persona to life.

7 Teagan Croft As Terra

A Different Titan For The Star

Teagan Croft was young when she ed Titans, but the Raven actress only got better in the role with each season of the DC series. By the end of its run, Croft's Raven was easily one of the best of Titans. As such, the actress could continue that growth by playing a key role in an announced DCU project.

At 20, Croft would still be a great fit for a Titans-related project, this time appearing in the DCU's reported Teen Titans movie. The actress would be perfect for Terra, a role that looks like a common superhero on the outside but is incredibly complex. Croft would be able to make Terra's tragic story work in the DCU, making fans both feel angered and love her version of Terra in a comic book-accurate possible "The Judas Contract" adaptation.

6 Joshua Orpin As Shazam

The DCU Needs To Get Shazam Back On Track

Joshua Orpin's Superboy was one of the most exciting characters to follow in Titans. Created by Lex Luthor as a clone of himself and Superman, Orpin's Conner Kent began the series full of child-like wonder, learning his place in the world and how to fit in. That allowed him to show all of his natural charisma and impeccable comedic timing, making Orpin a great fit for the DCU's Shazam.

While it seemed like the DCEU's Shazam cast could continue in the DCU, Shazam! Fury of the Gods becoming a major box office plan likely killed that idea. As such, Orpin as Shazam could help revitalize the hero. Orpin knows how to dose comedy. The lack of control over that aspect was a huge part of the criticism of the DCEU's final Shazam movie. Titans' Superboy also delivered compelling emotional scenes, making Orpin a well-rounded pick for Shazam.

5 Conor Leslie As Wonder Woman

An Upgrade Among Amazon Heroines

Conor Leslie could go for a pretty similar role to the one she played in Titans. The 33-year-old actress would be the ideal candidate to take over for Gal Gadot as DC's new live-action Wonder Woman. In Titans, Leslie played Donna Troy, aka Wonder Girl. Wonder Woman never appeared in the show, though Donna did mention their relationship in Titans — the characters are sisters.

Leslie was sublime in the role, delivering an iconic performance that led to her stealing pretty much every scene she appeared in as Donna Troy. After showing she has what it takes to play one of the most important Amazons and is great with a lasso, it could be time for the actress to take on the biggest female superhero there is. Leslie would be able to play the DCU's Wonder Woman for a decade or more.

4 Joseph Morgan As Etrigan

The Perfect Dual Role For The Actor

Joseph Morgan is a major asset for any production as a villain. The actor's most popular role is that of Klaus Mikaelson in The Vampire Diaries and its spinoff series, The Originals. Morgan commands the screen whenever he is present, being able to deliver charismatic and terrifying performances in equal measure. In Titans, Morgan showed his versatility as Brother Blood.

The actor started by playing a sympathetic character, Sebastian, who only wanted to make the world a better place. Corrupted by a life of being cast aside, he became one of the biggest foes the Titans faced. That sort of dual performance could continue in the DCU with Morgan playing Jason Blood, who is part of the DC community of heroes, and the demon that is bound to him, Etrigan. Morgan could present the differences between the two in great style, being more violent as Etrigan.

3 Ryan Potter As Robin (Tim Drake)

A DC Dream Come True

Ryan Potter interacted with multiple versions of Robin and other of the Bat-Family in Titans, and maybe the DCU could finally make the actor's dream of playing Tim Drake come true. Years before he was cast as Beast Boy in Titans, Potter shared a video of him doing stunts as the Tim Drake version of Robin. The actor was campaigning to play the Robin of Ben Affleck's Batman.

While Affleck's Batman never teamed up with a Robin on the big screen, Potter's Tim Drake video helped him land Titans. With the DCU confirmed to feature the Bat-Family in Batman's The Brave and the Bold reboot movie, Tim Drake has a good chance of appearing. Despite not playing as big of a role in Titans as expected, Potter showed that he has the fighting skills and acting ability to play perhaps the most intelligent of the Robins.

2 Brenton Thwaites As Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner)

Titans' Main Star Would Be Great For The DCU

Titans' main star was Brenton Thwaites, who played Dick Grayson in the DC series. The actor first appeared as Robin, with Dick graduating to Nightwing during the course of the show. Thwaites showed that he could be the lead of any major DCU project with charisma, grit, and great fight choreography. There are quite a few DCU roles he could play, including a new version of Nightwing.

That said, an interesting choice for the actor could be the Green Lantern Kyle Rayner. The DCU will be focusing on the Green Lantern Corps from the start, with Guy Gardner debuting next year in Superman and the Lanterns series starring Hal Jordan and John Stewart. In the comics, Kyle is often cast aside despite being a strong and comionate hero. The DCU could use Thwaites as the White Lantern version of Kyle Rayner, making him stand out among the other Lanterns and be key to the franchise.

1 Alan Ritchson As Batman

A Fan-Favorite DCU Casting Choice

Finally, Alan Ritchson is one of the fan favorites to play Batman in the new DC Universe. The actor has already played two DC heroes in live-action. In Smallville, Ritchson gave life to Aquaman, while the actor played the veteran hero Hawk in Titans. Having played one of DC's biggest heroes and, more recently, a veteran hero who interacted with several Bat-Family , Ritchson wants to go up and play Batman himself.

The actor is campaigning for the role and would be an excellent choice. Ritchson's work as Jack Reacher in recent years has confirmed that he would be perfect as Batman. In Reacher, he plays a character who is skilled in hand-to-hand fights, strikes fear in enemies with his imposing physique, and has great detective skills. With the actor ionate about playing Batman, Ritchson could be the first Titans star to the DCU.
