I know Chris McKay want a martial creative person , right , so that ’s out there . He ’s following me on Twitter , you know … there ’s a lot of good juju vibes out there for that . Nothing that I can say that is affirm . This is a project that he ’s still uprise and I sat down with DC , with some of the executives at DC , and they ’re big fans , I ’m a big fan , obviously . My father issue forth to America , because of Batman ( Tan ’s beginner worked on Tim Burton ’s 1989 moving picture ) and , you make love , I definitely desire to see that come up full rope and give back . I m not trade in my Marvel roots , because they started me , but DC started my dad , so it would be nice to go over there and dally around and find the right thing . So we ’re looking for the right matter and there were a lot of unlike talks and Nightwing was one of those that were mentioned , so we ’ll see .
[ UPDATE : Since this interview pass live , Tan has postulate toTwitterto emphasize that his meeting with DC was not"specifically"forNightwing . ]
Between his legal brief , but memorable , twist inIron FistandDeadpool 2 , and his purpose as the character Gaius Chau on AMC ’s warlike arts fantasy epic seriesInto the Badlands , Tan ’s star is very much on the rise right now . The doer has been aided in his quest to become an action whizz by his practical soldierly humanistic discipline experience , which only further makes him a hopeful candidate to bring the acrobatic Nightwing to life history in springy - action . It is unreadable at the moment where McKay ’s DC picture show is at in development , especially now that the DC movie slate is being reorganized in the wake ofthe DCEU ’s leadership changes . All the same , Tan distinctly already has the support of many rooter , when it comes to him possibly landing the Nightwing function .
Tan andTHSfurther discussed how , were Tan to bring the role , it would intend that Nightwing would be biracial in the DC film universe . The actor has expressed a desire to see more non - bloodless actors honk in comical book and/or superhero task in the past , and was even in the running to play Danny Rand aka . Iron Fistin the Marvel TV show , at one point . DC has already began to diversify its cinematic existence by casting Jason Momoa ( who is part Hawaiian , part Native American ) asAquaman , and would only further do so by casting Tan ( who is part Asian ) as Nightwing . Plus , as the role player himself note toTHS , he does indeed make out equipped with the ability to perform all of his own stunt , on top of that :
Yeah , I would put everything into it . I opine that , when you ’re a martial creative person and you ’re doing an action show , you may do so much more . You do n’t have to bring down around the thespian , you do n’t have to hide the actor and the performance alone is going to show so much more because it ’s all you and you ’re all there and you ’re put your blood , sweat and physicality into the role which is a bragging part of these type of film , you know , like Deadpool and Batman and Iron Fist , all those roles that I did , I can put so much more into it and I conceive it comes across , you know , and when fan see it they go , “ Wow , that was incredible ! ” , even if it was short they go , “ Wow , that was unbelievable ! ” and I remember it ’s because of that try you put into it .
The actor has also confirmed that he ’s qualified to play Nightwing in other respects ( per hisTwitteraccount ):
