DCEU: 6 actors who could play Robin in the DC Extended Universe

3. Cel Spellman

British actor Cel Spellman has also been on TV screens from a very young age, making his debut as a regular in ITV series Blue Murder when he was just 8 years old. He has since appeared in episodes of UK TV staples such as Casualty and Holby City, before going on to star in two seasons of Waterloo Road, the Russell T. Davis-helmed Cucumber and he can currently be seen in the last three seasons of the recently-revived gem Cold Feet. He’s also appeared in the music videos for The Vamps’ “Rest Your Love” and Nothing But Thieves’ “Forever and Ever More”.

Spellman may only be 24, but he has an incredible on-screen presence beyond his years – a bonus of having such a long and fruitful career already. His roles in Cold Feet and short film Closeted certainly highlight his effortless ability to bring emotionally-deep characters to life, but it’s not just his acting that showcases his presence.

He’s a natural-born presenter and has fronted some of Britain’s most popular TV programmes, including CBBC shows Friday Download, All Over The Place and the CBBC Official Chart Show. He has also hosted Blue Peter and currently co-hosts his own radio show on BBC Radio 1.

His commitment to whatever he does is evident and through his various presenting duties, it’s clear that he’s incredibly approachable. Those are qualities that would enable him to bring the likes of Tim Drake or even Dick Grayson to life, while his talent for convincingly pulling off broody characters (see: “Forever and Ever More”) would also make him a solid candidate for Jason Todd and Damian Wayne.

He just looks like Robin, and he has the talent to back it up. What more could you ask for, really?
