Yet what does it indicate? Followers are currently hypothesizing that the tweet suggests that Martian Manhunter has a component to play in Gunn’s DCU. Up until now, the personality isn’t to show up in following year’s Superman flick, routed by Gunn, or readied to star in a DCU television program or spin-off.
Fingers crossed this suggests Martian Manhunter has a future in the DCU due to the fact that he’s constantly been just one of my much-loved DC heroes and such an underrated fascinating personality that deserves his very own movie or program
