Summary:
- Leaked footage from “Superman” reveals Frank Grillo’s live-action debut in the DCU, suggesting his role as Rick Flag Sr. begins in this film.

- Frank Grillo hints at significant future plans with James Gunn and Peter Safran in the DCU, including roles in “Superman” and “Creature Commandos.”
New leaks from the set of Superman have sent DC fans into a frenzy! The footage confirms the appearance of actor Frank Grillo, sparking speculation about his role.
While previously announced to voice Rick Flag Sr. in the upcoming Creature Commandos, the leaked footage shows Grillo in a live-action scene arresting Superman (played by David Corenswet). This suggests Grillo’s first live-action appearance in the DCU will be in Superman, rather than Peacemaker season 2 as previously thought.
The footage also reveals another unidentified figure clad in black assisting Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. during Superman’s apprehension. Speculation regarding this character’s identity is rife, with guesses ranging from Ultraman to Ulysses. An official announcement from James Gunn is awaited to confirm this character’s role.
This latest development aligns with Frank Grillo’s previous hints about his involvement in the DCU. He has expressed enthusiasm about working with James Gunn and Peter Safran, mentioning “amazing stuff planned” for him in the coming years. His confirmed appearances in Superman and Creature Commandos suggest a significant role for Grillo within the DCU.
But, you know, James Gunn and Peter Safran over at DC have given me a great opportunity with Creature Commandos — and some other things that I’m not allowed to talk about — and I’m looking forward to the future with these guys in the DCU across the board. I think they’ve got some amazing stuff planned in the next year or two.
The highly anticipated Superman is scheduled to hit theaters on July 11, 2025. With these intriguing leaks, the wait for the film has become even more exciting for DC fans!
