James Gunn’s new Superman movie is filled with surprises, but one of the biggest came from a hidden detail — a mural in the Hall of Justice that has fans buzzing. The film, which is Certified Fresh at 83%, stars David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. And while it’s already a big hit, a quiet Easter egg has sparked huge excitement.
What’s on the Mural?
In the rotunda of the Hall of Justice, fans noticed a large mural showing some surprising characters:
- Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson)
- Wildcat (Ted Grant)
- A mystery Speedster
These heroes aren’t from the usual Justice League crew — they’re classic members of the Justice Society of America (JSA), a superhero team that’s been part of DC Comics for decades.
James Gunn Confirms It’s Not Random
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gunn confirmed the mural was carefully planned.
“Oh, there was a ton of thought put into it,” he said.
That means this wasn’t just a fun detail — it could be a hint at what’s coming in the new DC Universe.
Will We See Doctor Fate Again?
Fans quickly started asking: Is that the same Doctor Fate played by Pierce Brosnan in Black Adam?
In an interview with Josh Horowitz, Gunn confirmed that the character in the mural is Doctor Fate, but didn’t say who will play him in the future. That mystery has led to tons of fancasts across the internet.
Who Will Play Wildcat?
Another character spotted was Ted Grant, aka Wildcat, a tough boxer-turned-hero. Fans online are already guessing who might play him. Popular picks include:
- Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: Organized Crime)
- Alan Ritchson (Reacher), who fans also keep imagining as Batman
Gunn has responded to the Ritchson rumors before, saying:
“I’m a big Alan Ritchson fan, both as an actor and as a guy… let’s just wait to see what happens.”
What Does It All Mean for the DCU?
The Justice Society of America has appeared before in shows like Smallville and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, but this mural might mean a new version is coming to the big screen — fully connected to Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe.
So far, nothing official has been announced. But based on the mural and Gunn’s hints, it looks like fans might see the Justice Society in live action again — and soon.
