On the Dream Role of John Mulaney as Plastic Man
To be or not to be a superhero? That is the question that often plagues the minds of actors in today’s cinematic landscape. Yet, when the topic of Plastic Man arose in conversation with the esteemed John Mulaney, a new condition emerged – a comedic twist in the realm of DC’s financial prowess.
In a delightful exchange captured by GQ, Mulaney wittily remarked on the allure of the superhero role, citing financial incentives as the primary draw. A sly nod to the evolving nature of media compensation, his jestful tone hinted at a potential partnership waiting to unfold (source).

Could Mulaney’s irreverent humor be the missing piece in the puzzle that is Plastic Man? Beyond his comedic prowess, Mulaney has ventured into the realms of drama with projects like The Bear, showcasing a multifaceted talent that transcends mere laughter. His foray into the superhero realm with the Spider-Verse films only adds to his versatile repertoire.

While whispers of a Plastic Man movie linger in the ether, fueled by murmurs of a possible Darren Aronofsky adaptation, the potential collaboration between Mulaney and the DC universe tantalizes the imagination. With James Gunn’s penchant for offbeat superhero narratives, featuring comedic luminaries in unexpected roles (cue Pete Davidson in The Suicide Squad), the stars may align for Mulaney to don the iconic elastic mantle of Plastic Man.
As the curtain rises on this potential partnership, the comedic timing of Mulaney interweaves with the superheroic tapestry of DC, hinting at a performance that Shakespeare himself would applaud.
