Alan Ritchson Talks DCU Deal Standards and Stars in Detroit Action Film Motor City

Actor Alan Ritchson headlines the 2026 action film Motor City, set in 1970s Detroit and directed by Potsy Ponciroli. The movie features a minimal‑dialogue script and a soundtrack dominated by classic rock, including a cameo by Jack White.

Ritchson also revealed the strict criteria he applies to any role in James Gunn’s forthcoming DC Universe. He reflected on a missed audition for Marvel’s Thor, saying, "I pick the shit out of projects… it will have to meet my standards," and explained that his discussions with Gunn will focus on projects that meet those standards.
