Grant Gustin addressed the DCU casting rumor once again as fans continued to clamor for him to join the franchise.
Since the airing of the final episode of the CW's The Flash last year, some fans have expressed their interest in seeing Gustin continue playing the hero in James Gunn's DCU.
So far, Gustin has not been cast yet in the new franchise, but he revealed recently that he exchanged DMs with Gunn and talked about their love for Superman.

The Flash's Grant Gustin Responds to DCU Casting Rumors
Gustin opened up about the ongoing DCU casting rumor in a recent interview where he explained his recent interaction with Gunn and addressed whether he is indeed interested in playing The Flash again.
"Look, there are no doors right now that are slammed shut for me in any capacity. And that's why I said what I said about James Gunn. I love the Guardians movies, I love what he's done, but the soundbite that's getting picked up everywhere," he said.
The Flash star shared that he's always been a fan of Superman ever since he was a kid.
"Yeah. I fell in love with Superman because of Christopher Reeve. I loved those movies as a kid, and have remained a Superman fan my whole life because of those movies," he continued.
"When Brandon Routh was Superman in Superman Returns, I was 16, and I had just gotten my driver's license. I drove to the midnight premiere to see him, with Superman insignias on my car in chalk."
Gustin also clarified his recent comments where he shared that he had an interaction with Gunn.
"I don't know if he was already following me or not, but I just DMed him and said, 'I can't wait to see what you do with that.' So he just hit me back up and then, yeah, he said he thought I was talented and said that he'd love to work with me someday, which is a very general nice thing to say," he recalled.
While there are no formal talks yet for Gustin to join the DCU, at the very least, we have an assurance that both the actor and Gunn are open to the possibility if it ever happens in the future.
A lot of fans would definitely be happy if Gustin ends up joining the DCU and play The Flash again given how beloved he is in the role, but for now, let's wait and see whether it all ends up happening.
