The now-defunct movie <strong><em>Justice League: Mortal<\/em><\/strong> has no chance of being resurrected as of now, but Baruchel would love to come back as a different character in the current version of the <strong>DCEU.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/movies\/news\/justice-league-mortal-jay-baruchel-dceu-return-maxwell-lord\/\">an interview with Comicbook.com<\/a>, the <strong><em>Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice<\/em><\/strong> star revealed that he would not be against coming back into the world of comic book movies. He stated that if the opportunity presented itself, he would come back &#8220;in an absolute heartbeat.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seems that DC films coming out in the near future will feature the <strong>multiverse<\/strong>, so seeing characters that have long been forgotten make a comeback might not be totally out of the question. Nowadays fans are always wondering what his take on Lord would have been like, and Baruchel himself feels like it wouldn&#8217;t be universally loved. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if anyone wants to see the character that Miller and I were coming up with, it would have been a&nbsp;very polarizing performance I suspect,&#8221; he said in the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, it remains to be seen if Baruchel would return as the aforementioned <em>JL: Mortal&#8217;<\/em>s Maxwell Lord or another figure in the pantheon of characters that DC has at its disposal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nJay Baruchel has said he&#8217;d like to be in a DC film one day.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=28577\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Jay Baruchel Interested in DC Film Return&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":28585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6,9],"tags":[194,3714,402,2104,3715,3713],"class_list":["post-28577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-tv","category-movies","tag-dc","tag-jay-baruchel","tag-justice-league","tag-justice-league-mortal","tag-maxwell-lord","tag-mortal","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jay Baruchel Interested in DC Film Return - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=28577\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jay Baruchel Interested in DC Film Return - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Jay Baruchel has said he&#039;d like to be in a DC film one day.
