Matthew Lillard wants James Gunn to put him in the DCU – and we are so here for it.

"I have wanted to be in a superhero world. I've wanted to be in [DCU]. If anyone's curious: if you run into James Gunn, tell him I'm available," Lillard told the crowd at Los Angeles Comic Con (via ScreenRant), after confirming his upcoming appearance in Daredevil: Born Again season 2. "James Gunn wrote Scooby-Doo 1 and 2; he's one of my dear friends. I keep waiting for that invitation. I don’t know if it’s lost in the mail."

There's still no news as to who Lillard will be playing in Daredevil: Born Again, though the appearance does make him part of the MCU. However, Lillard implied during the LACC panel that his character is not a superhero, saying, "I don't wear any Lycra. I know you're sad." It also sounds like the actor, who is known for his extremely wide acting range, wants a bigger, proper superhero role in the DCU – with fans noting that he would be a pretty great Riddler.
