Superman & Lois' Elizabeth Tulloch Also Expressed Interest In 2 Potential DC Roles
Like her co-star inSuperman and Lois, Elizabeth Tulloch also spoke about taking another role in a DC project.Adding to Hoechlin’s desire to play Batman, she said that she would love to appear beside him as that universe’s Catwoman. With a long legacy of excellent performers in the role, including Michelle Pfeiffer and Zoë Kravitz, Tulloch could make for an excellent, unique take on the character. In addition, Tulloch also said that she would be interested in playing Superwoman when asked about the potential role.
It is unclear if either of these characters will appear in the DCU.DC seems to have cast a Catwoman replacementinPeacemakerseason 2, so it is unclear how high a priority Selina Kyle may be the for the universe. In addition, withSupermanandSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowbeing the two first movies in the universe, it seems unlikely that a Superwoman would also be introduced so soon alongside them.Notably, however, the earliest iteration of Superwoman is Lois Lane after a blood transfusion, so Tulloch would be perfect for the role.
With theCreature Commandostrailercementing the start of DC Studios in December 2024, there are sure to be many significant roles being cast in the near future.James Gunn clearly has respect for the television side of things,leading to rumors of Grant Gustin being potentially added to the DCU. As such, it would not be surprising if the studio was looking to other Arrowverseperformers to fill out their roster, andSuperman & Loisstars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch would be among the best choices from that extended cast to reappear in the DCU.
