James Gunn may be busy running the show with co-CEO Peter Safran at DC Studios, but the Superman director has still found time to ignite speculation surrounding future new castings with a less-than-cryptic post on social media.

So… let the theories commence. Gunn had previously opened the floor to fans and asked them who Bautista should play in the DCU. The most popular answer? Batman villain Hugo Strange.

Klementieff, though, may be the most likely first candidate to cross the divide between Marvel and DC. She previously told fans at San Antonio’s Superhero Comic Con that she had been "talking" to Gunn about portraying "one specific character."
