Lewis Tan known for roles Deadpool 2 and the Netflix’s series Iron Fist, recently met with Warner Bros. for a role in a DC Film, as he confirmed in an interview with The Hashtag Show, stating that he met with DC, that Nightwing director Chris Mckay was following him on Twitter and that Nightwing was mentioned during his talks with DC, when they spoke of him doing something for DC. 

“I know Chris McKay wants a martial artist, right, so that’s out there,” Tan said. “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 confirmed. This is a project that he’s still developing 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 came to America, because of Batman (1989) and, you know, I definitely want to see that come full circle and give back. Im not trading in my Marvel roots, because they started me, but DC started my dad, so it would be nice to go over there and play around and find the right thing. So we’re looking for the right thing and there were a lot of different talks and Nightwing was one of those that were mentioned, so we’ll see.”

Tan then later went on to clarify on his official Twitter account that his interview with DC for a role wasn’t specifically for Nightwing.

Tan has shown his love for the role of Nightwing and the world that Batman inhabits since his father Philip Tan got his start working on Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman, as one of The Joker’s Goons, he’s also shown a few tweets hinting a role within a Batman film of sorts.
