Daniel Radcliffe became a global superstar through his portrayal of Harry Potter, a role he played for a decade across eight films. After the franchise ended in 2011, Radcliffe deliberately distanced himself from mainstream blockbusters, choosing to take on diverse and unconventional roles. He has since performed in films like Swiss Army Man (2016), where he played a talking corpse, Guns Akimbo (2019), an action-comedy, and The Lost City (2022), where he played the antagonist.
Despite staying away from major franchises, rumors of Radcliffe joining the superhero genre have persisted. In the past, fans speculated about him playing Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine, which ultimately did not materialize. Now, fresh speculation has linked him to the DC Universe (DCU), specifically in the upcoming Clayface movie. With speculation growing, DC Studios co-head James Gunn has officially addressed whether Radcliffe is being considered for the role.
