Christopher McDonald[edit]

There appears to be a conflicting in reporting. Deadline reports McDonald as being the known character actor while the THR report states it’s a newcomer with the same name. Rusted AutoParts 22:07, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to believe THR here as they have the exclusive. Deadline is likely confusing the two given their similar names. This Christopher MacDonald (with an "a") is a newcomer, as THR explains, while Christopher McDonald is the more established actor. Even Collider points out MacDonald was in a cast photo Gunn shared earlier this week, which also included Hoover and Beckett. McDonald is also Black (the same as his character Ron Troupe) while McDonald is white. It's really hard to mistake the few other than a minor naming issue. WP:Common sense applies here. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:11, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In Gunn's Instagram post confirming the castings, he directly mentions Christopher MacDonald, who is clearly not the white actor from Hacks or Secret Invasion. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:24, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it appears both actors’ names are the same, per the newcomer’s account. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:49, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally Deadline amended their article to remove mentions of the elder McDonald, so this is now a moot subject lol. Rusted AutoParts 00:15, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cast list[edit]

I don't think This article on DC.com is an official press release or an official cast list. WBD doesn't have any press releases for the film on their press site since first announcing that Gunn would be director, the article doesn't have anything in it to indicate that it is an official release from DC Studios, and I don't think there is any indication that this would be the place for official DC Studios news to be released. Gunn has been releasing all the information we know, including the image that is in the article, on social media. Also, the cast members that are included in the article are just the ones that we knew about at the time. All of the cast members that have been removed from the cast list due to being excluded from this article were only known to be cast in the months since the article was published. - adamstom97 (talk) 18:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this cast list doesn't seem like an official list and more just a general statement by DC.com. It feels odd to have use this as a solid list when it is outdated, and I think we should revert back to the prior order, as while not ideal to have a long list of names, it is what is most accurate at this time until we get an official billing and not some random order from DC's site. Trailblazer101 (talk) 19:36, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have boldly restored the listing for now. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:30, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
