Teen Wolf actor Tyler Posey has emphatically stated that he wants to play Terry McGinnis in a Batman Beyond movie, or live action show. In an interview with Collider, the Teen Wolf star expressed his love for the original Batman Beyond cartoon series.
Yeah, I really wanna do Batman Beyond. There was a cartoon, years ago, called Batman Beyond, and I really wanna adapt that into a TV show. I wanna do that so bad. I think it would be a really cool spin on a younger Batman… [sic] it would be cool to do a take on old Batman being this mentor to a younger Batman.
Posey’s History of Talking About ‘Batman Beyond’
There is little doubt that Tyler Posey is genuinely excited at the idea of playing Terry McGinnis as a younger, future Batman. He has been literally clamoring for the role for years.
In April 2018, he made similar comments about wanting to be involved in a Batman Beyond project.
I always got… Remember Batman Beyond? I loved Batman Beyond! That’d be fun, man, I don’t want… I don’t want to get too old before I got to pitch it.
Then in February 2020, he shared Batman Beyond-related images on his Twitter. He also wrote in his captions that the movie is a “passion project” to him. He even cited that Michael Keaton should return as a older, mentor Bruce Wayne role.
Only passion project I’ve ever had is rebooting Batman Beyond with me as Terry and @MichaelKeaton as Bruce with @Evan_Almighty behind the pen https://t.co/toHK2dNpWJ

This guy definitely loves Batman Beyond. It must have been interesting to see his reaction to the news that Keaton may be returning to the Batman role in a Flash movie.
The Reality of a ‘Batman Beyond’ Film
Unfortunately for Posey, Warner Bros. seems to have no plans for a Batman Beyond movie. By the time, they may want to do a film, Posey maybe too old to play a 16-years-old McGinnis.
Amusingly, Posey isn’t the only one vying for the non-existent casting call, as Shazam! star Ross Butler also expressed interest in the role. With two up-and-coming leading men wanting to play Terry, perhaps Warner Bros. can see the demand for a Batman Beyond movie.
