John Cleese Twitter Photo With DC Comic Books Hints at Role in DCEU, Especially ‘The Batman’

Actor John Cleese posted on Twitter that he was getting ready for a Q and A in Massachusetts. The thing is, the event in Massachusetts isn't about the DCEU films that the "Monty Python" actor is rumored to appear in. What fans took notice of, however, were the books beside the actor in the photo he uploaded. Read on to learn more!

Superhero movies will undoubtedly be dominating the silver screen in the next few years. Marvel is gearing up for an extensive cast list for "Avengers: Infinity War". DCEU, meanwhile, is also courting several actors and actresses to join their upcoming films. Comedian John Cleese is rumored to be part of the highly-anticipated "Justice League" and "The Batman" films.

Twitter activities tease John Cleese DCEU part

This came after the official Twitter accounts of "Batman v Superman" and DC photographer Clay Enos both followed Cleese on the social network. Comicbook also reported that the actor followed "Batman v Superman" director Zack Snyder and Batman himself, Ben Affleck, on Twitter.

His participation has not been officially announced or confirmed though, so fans can only guess which comic book character he will play. According to Movieweb, Cleese's post on his Q and A session wasn't about the DC films. It was a panel for fans who wanted to ask about "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." The fan speculation came from the stack of comic books on Cleese's counter.

John Cleese could have a major role in "The Batman"

Hawk-eyed fans will spot that these comics are "Justice League: Origin", "The Dark Knight Returns", and "Batman: The Dark Mirror". Batman plays a major role in these separate storylines, so that has already gotten many fans shaking with excitement at the hint of possibility.

All this doesn't immediately confirm his appearance in the DCEU films, but it's a huge coincidence, if that were the case. Plus, Cleese is a talented and well-loved actor. Many of his fans would love to see him in a big role opposite DC superheroes. The initial "Justice League" release date is on Nov. 17, 2017.
