Ben Affleck Batman Movie Villain May Have WWE’s Shad Gaspard

Paramount Passes On Max Landis’ Goofy G.I. Joe Pitch (Scoop Confirmed)

A new villain for the Ben Affleck Batman movie might come in the form of the 6’7″ 285 lb. former WWE and ECW superstar Shad Gaspard.

The info can only be considered speculation at this point as the Twitter detectives have uncovered the fact that both DC Entertainment president and co-runner of the DC films, Geoff Johns, and Joe Manganiello (Deathstroke) have followed Shad Gaspard.

Twitter detectives also revealed that John Cleese and Armie Hammer might have roles in Justice League and/or the Ben Affleck Batman movie.

Regarding Shad Gaspard, he is also known for From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series and the upcoming Officer Downe movie.

Just from the sheer look of Shad Gaspard, he has to be playing a villain, right? Shad Gaspard has a background in boxing and wrestling and was even a bodyguard at one time for Hollywood celebs Britney Spears, Puff Daddy, Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Mike Tyson.

So who could Shad Gaspard be playing in the DCEU?

Some of the redditors think Bronze Tiger might not be a bad choice or the Mutant Leader from Frank Millers The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel.

Regardless who Shad Gaspard plays, assuming he is a villain, he is going to look pretty huge next to Ben Affleck’s 6’4″ 220 lb. frame.

The Ben Affleck Batman movie is yet to be officially announced, which will see Affleck direct. Both Joe Manganiello and Jeremy Irons have said the Batman movie films next year.
