Fans Upset with Gunn Over Rumored Casting of Booster Gold: “You LITERALLY had thousands of muscular Blonde White dudes to choose from”

‘Booster Gold’ is among the many live-action shows planned for the DCU in the coming years as part of ‘Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.’ Details about the show remain scarce, with James Gunn recently confirming it won’t begin production anytime soon.

Fans, as always, have been vocal about their desired actors for the titular role. Due to their connections to James Gunn and physical resemblance, Antony Starr and Chris Pratt emerged as front-runners, though these casting rumors have since been debunked.

Recently, NexusPoint News reported a rumor that Kumail Nanjiani has been cast as Booster Gold in the DCU. Nanjiani, known for his impressive resume and comedy background, would bring a unique perspective to the role if the rumors prove true.

However, fans have expressed their discontent on social media regarding the casting choice. Many are concerned that Nanjiani, a Pakistani-American actor whose appearance differs significantly from Booster Gold’s traditional comic book portrayal, may not fit the character’s visual expectations.
