Franchise regular Alan Tudyk has been cast in an unknown role for James Gunn’s Superman movie. Tudyk already has a voice role in the DCU as he plays Doctor Phosphorus in Creature Commandos. Could this character appear in live-action within Superman? We don’t know, but it is also possible that Tudyk is voicing a different role. Tudyk is a veteran voice actor. Therefore, any character he could be playing probably won’t sound anything like Doctor Phosphorus.
As reported by Deadline:
‘James Gunn‘s Superman may be wrapped, but we’re hearing that Alan Tudyk is also part of the mass ensemble pic in an undisclosed role.’
‘Tudyk already is playing the voice of nuclear plant meltdown-born villain Doctor Phosphorus in Gunn’s upcoming Max animated series, Creature Commandos, which technically kicks off the first part of the DC Boss’ Phase One, “Gods and Monsters”.’

Tudyk may have not have a voice only part of course. However, it is worth noting he was never spotted on any sets/locations during production. So if he does have an in-person role then it’s been kept for the closed sets.
The movie also stars Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Terence Rosemore (Otis), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner), María Gabriela de Faría (The Engineer), Wendell Pierce (Daily Planet editor Perry White), Beck Bennett, and Frank Grillo (Rick Flag Sr).
One character some fans think Tudyk may be playing is Ch’p a talking squirrel Green Lantern. However, I’m not sure if that character has been confirmed for the film or not? If the character is in, then I’m sure Tudyk would be interesting performing the voice.
