Actor Jeremy Irvine considered for Gay Superhero role

Nope.

R1, your point?

[Quote] your point?

Give the role to an out actor! It's even a second lead, ffs.

Sexual orientation should not decide acting roles, or any job. It’s called Nondiscrimination, a bedrock principle of civil rights and law

Being woke is all about discrimination. Only some people can say certain things, cook certain foods, create certain music, and play certain roles.

I choose to think he’s very gay and will be riding my cock in the near future.

NO unless he is gay. A gay superhero needs to be played by a gay actor.

Agree. Why can the breeders go between both and be considered "brave", and gays can't even get gay roles, let alone straight ones?

We need to start boycotting the type of actors who do it consistently.

I don't really agree with woke casting rules, but if those are the rules now, then they should apply to gay roles too. No more straights camping it up, or straights acting straight to present a palatable gay character.

You need a masc gay? Cast a masc gay actor. Need a somewhat effeminate gay, cast a somewhat effeminate gay, etc...

Screaming because Scarlett Johansen was cast as a trans, but being silent when a breeder plays gay is hypocrisy.

That rabbit hole just goes too deep. Are wigs and hair color forbidden? Should an actor born and raised in Minnesota be prevented from playing a character raised in New York or LA? Where is the bottom of this?

This model is Jeremy's doppelgänger except he has a better body.

Out actors are discriminated against. I don't see the issue with some redressing the balance.

Berlanti has a terrible history with casting gay men for gay roles (he directed The Broken Hearts Club and Love Simon).

No more closet-cases playing openly gay characters!

I always confuse him with Joe Alwyn. Which one of them dated Taylor Swift? Cuz that’s tantamount to being 'out', isn’t it?

I don't think they resemble at all. Are you non-white?

Josh Kempton is so hot

[quote] Sexual orientation should not decide acting roles, or any job. It’s called Nondiscrimination, a bedrock principle of civil rights and law.

The problem is no matter how much better an openly gay actor is at the audition, a straight actor is considered more bankable, making a bigger profit. And even IF an openly gay actor is cast you get the haters and trolls who insist the openly gay actor is "clearly" miscast because of some "woke" bullshit.

Great, another awful Berlanti series.

The guy in R10 is good looking, but shut the fuck up with the pseudo psychological spew. Just get your kit off and pose. No one is interested in your pontificating. Who do you think you are, Dr Jake?

Insufferable

I meant pseudo philosophical spew.

I'm not fully awake yet

Another Berlanti casting couch endeavor I won't be watching.

I’m more annoyed they cast a brunette as Guy Gardner, who’s is probably the most well known ginger in comics with the possible exception of Jean Grey. Also, why not make John Stewart the lead? I suppose they are saving him for movies?

A brunette = a lady.

[Quote] probably the most well known ginger in comics with the possible exception of Jean Grey

Say what?!

well that's some bullshit.

They should only cast actors with supernatural crime fighting experience.

I think everybody should play any role, but in case of superhero roles i think a gay superhero should be played by a gay actor basically because they avoid hiring gay actors on most of those movies

Jeremy needs to show everything, cock and ass.

In other threads, people have bitched endlessly about a perceived lack of gay male characters on TV.

In this thread, not a single positive comment.

DL isn't a cheerleading site.

R29 The show has a gay showrunner, it wouldn't be that difficult to give a prominent gay character to a openly gay actor.

Berlanti seems a nice guy, and yes, he hires gay actors on his shows (but never as main characters) but he is terrible at writting gay characters

Why hasn't Jeremy done nudity?

[quote]I don't really agree with woke casting rules

I'm not sure why people find it so difficult to wrap their heads around the idea that people should have equal chances to be cast for any role.

Gay actors aren't treated the same as straight actors.

When it comes to the super hero genre they definitely aren't treated the same.

Casting any actor in any role indicates that the production thought that actor was the best actor for the job. When people complain about these kinds of castings to me it says that they believe that the actor cast wasn't the best person for the job.

[quote] (but never as main characters)

Greg Berlanti hired openly gay actor, Matt Bomer, to play "Negative Man" on HBO Max's, "Doom Patrol." That character is a main character and wasn't originally gay in the comics.

Other than that, Berlanti hasn't.

Is there something for Colton?

[quote]Scott was Earth’s first Green Lantern, who, true to the comics, is a gay man.

Someone pointed something out that I had not considered. There are different versions of Alan Scott: Earth Prime and Earth-2. Earth Prime is straight, the rebooted Earth-2 is gay. This series seems to be using Earth Prime Scott, unless they're doing a Convergence storyline scenario.

The synopsis of the HBO Max series - Based on the DC Comics property, the show was first announced in 2019 and was ordered to series last year. The story spans decades and galaxies, beginning on Earth in 1941 with Scott, and then heading to 1984 with cocky alpha male Gardner and half-alien Bree Jarta. They’ll be joined by a multitude of other Lanterns — from comic book favorites to never-before-seen heroes.

Just realized that "Jeremy Irvine" played "Danny Winters" who was gay in "Stonewall." He's also playing a gay poet in the upcoming movie, "Benediction." So if he's straight and playing another gay role here then maybe he and Darren Criss should compare notes.

Jeremy is so gorgeous

R36 Or he can make a Lucas Hedges and come out as something, maybe he could said that in second grade he had a dream with a boy and that makes him not completely straight. Usually that's enough for gay press to call you brave

Irvine has worked with a DL fave...

Why has he never shown cock?

Not many actors show cock.

It should be mandatory for gorgeous people like him to show cock

What if his cock is disappointing?

Jeremy should pre-empt this controversy and say he's queer. Who cares if he's only ever had heterosexual relationships!

Bisexual (for attention) women are a turn on to the mainstream. Not so bisexual men.

R45 IN fact bisexual woman were a trend of the past, right now if a bi woman comes out she better be really bi.

For men they like to play ambiguous, so queer is the trend, generally comes out as queer (because they want to avoid criticism for playing too many gay roles) and inmediately they start to date a woman

[Quote] if a bi woman comes out she better be really bi.

Proof?

[Quote] For men they like to play ambiguous, so queer is the trend

Not really. Even Harry Styles is on record as saying "Pretty sure I'm not" when asked if he's bisexual.

R48 The trend between the ones who come out, Styles is nothing more that the typical gaybaiting star like Nick Jonas but less attractive

The pretty actor from 9-1-1: Lone Star, Ronen Rubinstein, came out as bi.

R50 He is an exception.

He came out when everybody supposed he was straight because he has a girlfriend.

And the fans loved him before coming out, so there's absolutely no pressure for him to come out

We don't know that. Plenty of people in the public eye come out to get ahead of an outing story.

Right now outing stories are linked to scandals and coming out doesn't solve that situation (unless the actor is accussed of raping a woman, i suppose in that case it would be useful)

Noboy is outed right now just for the sake of it, and even less if he is in a relationship with a woman (even if it's fake)

Loony stans started to ease up on Joshua Bassett over the straight love triangle rumors once he implied that he might be queer.

[quote] Right now outing stories are linked to scandals and coming out doesn't solve that situation (unless the actor is accussed of raping a woman, i suppose in that case it would be useful)

It most certainly didn't help Kevin Spacey when he got metoo'd by guys.

Joshua Bassett is gay, there's no 'love triangle'. At least not with two women.

[Quote] Noboy is outed right now just for the sake of it

Nobody has ever been outed just for the sake of it. It's always been a power play. Look at Zac Efron: His ex gf gave uncomplimentary quotes about him to a Danish podcast but they haven't been picked up internationally. Another foreigner (a veteran actress) badmouthed Adam Driver and her comments WERE picked up internationally. Efron has more powerful people willing to kill stories about him than Adam Driver apparently does.

[Quote] Joshua Bassett is gay, there's no 'love triangle'. At least not with two women.

He just said that his DMs are open to Harry Styles and only Styles... He doesn't identify as gay.

Hollywood doesn't give these rolls to gay actors. They want to attract women. People can stop with the "it doesn't matter the actors sexual orientation" because you know it does, gay actors need not apply.

[Quote] Hollywood doesn't give these rolls to gay actors.

Good. Gay actors need to watch their figures.

[Quote] Hollywood doesn't give these rolls to gay actors. They want to attract women.

Bridgerton Season Two is said to centre around Jonathan Bailey. We'll see how that works out.

Yes, but that show is not a superhero show, iit's main audience are women.

And Joshua Bassett didn't came out. He was trying to be edgy and show how open minded he is and that backfired big time.

Of course he can't retract now and say it's a joke because that would be worse, but in a couple of months he'll finally figure out his sexuality and will start to date a nice girl

[Quote] that backfired big time.

How so?

Jeremy, take your pants off and show the goods!

Jeremy is hot. Loved him in the mess that was Stonewall (the movie). My first choice would be an openly gay actor in the role. But if it ends up being a straight one, Jeremy is not a bad choice. At least he's hot.

R63 Because people thought he was just coming out as gay (that's what happens when you title the video my coming out)

He didn't title any video. And he's received more attention on the launch of his new single than he he did for any previous ones. He pretty much did a Lucas Hedges. No harm done to his brand.

Not to derail the thread, but anyone with eyes and some common sense can see that the constantly crying Joshua is gay.

Coming out as “bi” nowadays doesn't really cost celebrity actors anything. There will be no cameras placed in their bedrooms to determine the veracity of the claim. No one is going to call them out for never being seen with a guy and only dating women. Their bisexuality will recede from memory, only to be resurrected as a shield when necessary. In the interim they’re still celebrated and endowed with a je ne sais quoi patina of edginess that lets them loosen the bounds of strict heteronormativity (e.g. Harry Styles) even as they continue to live completely straight lives.

Irvine? A nice Jewish boy?

Real name Jeremy William Fredric Smith. Not a Jew.

r69 And then there are those disgusting cunts like Harry Styles, who try and tease people about it so they can get attention, money, and pussy. We need to boycott them out of Hollywood (especially Harry, since he stole a gay role in a movie while doing this shit).

Well, he got it.

UGH, we can't have anything without straights taking it.

As if it wasn't already a done deal.

At least DL fave Augie Prew has already shot the TV adaptation of "Lord of the Rings."

Dudes come out as mostly straight now, meaning they are overwhelming heterosexual but acknowledge rare and exceptional attraction to extremely attentive males

I just discovered this deliciously sexy Brit. I hope he becomes a huge star! We need to see him naked and to show his feets!!

If straight actors can’t play gay roles anymore then their oscar chances will be reduced.

Hal Jordan is the most popular of the Green Lanterns and yet they're going to use the unpopular ones. Bleh.

Is the Green Lantern show still happening?

As of right now yes r80.
