Legendary comedian John Cleese may join the DCEU. As an eagle-eyed Twitter user notices, the Monty Python star was suddenly followed by certain accounts, including "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and DC Films photographer Clay Enos. It has since led fans to speculate that the 77-year-old comedian is circling a role in DC movies starting with "Justice League".

Fans probably remembered that news of Joe Manganiello's casting as the formidable Deathstroke in Ben Affleck's "The Batman" as well as Rick Famuyiwa being hired to direct Ezra Miller's "The Flash" first surfaced from the similar pattern. Therefore, it's worth noting that the chance of Clesse entering the DC universe is high.
The folks over at Comic Book Movie point out that Reddit users are already speculating several possible characters to be played by Cleese, like Glorious Godfrey, Deadman and Dr. Fate. As of now, both Warner Bros. and DC have not given any comments regarding the casting rumors.
"Justice League" is set for a November 17, 2017 release in U.S. theaters. DC's other upcoming movies include Gal Gadot's "Wonder Woman", which will arrive on June 2, 2017, "The Flash", which will follow on March 16, 2018, and Jason Momoa's "Aquaman", which is due out on July 28, 2018.
