Grant Gustin is arguably the most popular actor ever to helm the role of Barry Allen/ The Flash, who played the character in The CW series as part of the Arrowverse. The actor has built a dedicated fan base, and DC fans have been begging James Gunn to replace Ezra Miller with Grant Gustin as Barry Allen in his rebooted Dcu. For those wondering if he would ever return as The Flash, the actor has given one condition under which he would do so.
Grant Gustin as The Flash
Earlier, he said that he would return to reprise the role only if James Gunn asked him to do so. And at such a time, Gunn recently gave some hope to the fans as he shared his interest in working with Gustin. However, it’s not sure for which role Gunn wants him. It might not be Barry Allen.

The podcasting business is expected to hit $1B in revenues this year – a huge leap from the audio medium’s indie roots and self-produced successes.
Last year, during the height of the Covid pandemic, the medium exploded with a raft of A-list talent moving in, hosting and exec producing their own shows, from the comfort of their own homes (and often their bedroom closets).
ICM was responsible for high-profile series such as John Stamos’ The Grand Scheme: Snatching Sinatra for Wondery and Alan Cummings’ Hot White Heist for Audible.
The agency, through its Director of Podcast Initiatives Caroline Edwards, will continue to put together and sell projects from its stable of A-list talent, but Edwards and her team are also doubling down on growing trends in the business towards diverse voices and new areas such as children’s content.

To hear John Stamos talk about the subject of his new podcast, “The Grand Scheme: Snatching Sinatra,” you’d think you were listening to a lifelong academic mid lecture. Clearly, Stamos knows a lot about the topic, the result of the actor’s longstanding interest in both Frank Sinatra, Sr. and the world of music in general. The first season of Spoke Media’s “The Grand Scheme,” which goes wide on July 27, focuses on the kidnapping of Frank Sinatra, Jr. in 1963, a crime fraught with controversy considering it happened only a few weeks after the assassination of JFK. It’s still believed by many that Sinatra, Jr. had a hand in his own kidnapping, though that has never been definitively proven.
Stamos, recently the lead of the Disney+ family series “Big Shot,” had been attempting to tell the story of kidnapper Barry Keenan for years, first hearing about Keenan’s story through Dean Torrance,...

Exclusive: John Stamos is to explore the kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr. in a new true crime podcast for Wondery.
The Fuller House star and exec producer will produce and narrate The Grand Scheme: Snatching Sinatra, a series that looks at the circumstances of the 1963 kidnapping of Frank Sinatra’s son from Harrah’s Lake Tahoe.
The series, which will launch on July 27, will uncover the event from the perspective of kidnapper Barry Keenan. Mastermind Keenan, was broke, unemployed, hooked on booze and pills, and his family was falling apart. One day, the voice of God came over the radio in his Chevy Super Sport and told him there was a simple solution to his problems: All he had to do was kidnap Frank Sinatra, Jr.
The kidnapping was riddled with profound incompetence and confusion, perpetrated by amateurs whose previous criminal experience had been along the lines of lighting palm trees on fire for laughs.
