He’s funny successful coming backmost arsenic Doctor Fate successful James Gunn's upcoming Man of Tomorrow, which the histrion has heard volition reintroduce his erstwhile DCEU role.

"I’ve heard that Doctor Fate was going to person his ain show, oregon his ain movie,” Brosnan precocious said during a caller interrogation with GQ.
