Thomas Haden Church is no stranger to the superhero game, and now the hugely talented actor has revealed that he’s already filmed a role for an upcoming comic book effort.

Previously, Church played a sympathetic take on Sandman in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, and now he’s surprised us all by confirming his return to superhero affairs.

Speaking to JoBlo, the Sideways star explained, “I’m not supposed to talk about it, but I actually have returned, but not in the Marvel world, it’s another world, but it is in that genre of superheroes and supervillains. I’m not supposed to talk about it. It’s a movie I shot last year. I’m surprised it hasn’t already kinda been revealed.”

From that, it seems as if we can rule out any sort of Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance or a part in any other Marvel-based movies. Does that mean that Church will be appearing in an upcoming DC Extended Universe effort, though?

On that front, if the role has already been shot then the logical school of thought would have Thomas Haden Church pegged as appearing James Wan’s Aquaman. That’s pretty much the only non-Marvel movie that was shooting last year, with the Jason Momoa-starrer currently booked in for release this December.

Right now, we guess we’re just going to have to take a ‘wait and see’ approach on all of this.
