Cyborg Concept Art reveals that DC Comics wanted to Cast Rapper Drake for a new series

In recent years, Cyborg has become a prominent character in Warner Bros. and DC Comics’ line of superheroes. The hero has appeared in live-action in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Zack Snyders Justice League and DCs Doom Patrol series on HBO Max. On the movie side, Ray Fisher played the role and on the TV side, Jovian Wade brought the “booyah,” but it turns out that DC would have a pretty big name for the role in an unknown series. According to concept artist Jared Krichevsky, Grammy-winning rapper Drake was almost considered for the Cyborg role. Although he is not sure in what capacity.

“Cyborg concept for a series that did not happen. They wanted to cast Drake at some point 😅,” Krichevsky wrote. Editing: As this post gets attention, I should clarify that I do not know at what level they were considering him. I just got a short note about making him look like Drake. Could not have been anything 🤷 Still fun to work with on. “

The concept art offers the rapper with a bald head and a classic Cyborg look. His head gets a very transparent computer look with the classic Cyborg red eye. The art gives the character a tank-like body that would probably be for protection. This look is very different from the other live-action Cyborg looks, and I would love to know exactly what it was for. You can check out the concept art just above!

The latest project from Warner Bros. and DC Comics were Batman, and it’s now available to stream via HBO Max. This is how the studio describes the film: “Batman is a nervous, action-packed thriller that depicts Batman in his early years struggling to balance rage with righteousness while investigating a disturbing mystery that has terrorized Gotham. “Robert Pattinson delivers a raw, intense portrayal of Batman as a disillusioned, desperate vigilant, awakened by the realization that the anger that consumes him does not make him better than the ruthless serial killer he hunts.”

Directed by Matt Reves, Batman starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle / Catwoman, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton / the Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as GCPD’s James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham DA Gil Colson, Jayme Lawson as mayoral candidate Bella Reál, Andy Serkis as Alfred and Colin Farrell as Oswald “Penguin” Cobblepot. The film is currently available for streaming on HBO Max.
