Fans have long had a habit of pressing the powers that be to add their favorite celebrities to the DC Universe. While they're not always successful, sometimes fans swear they have selected the perfect actor or actress for a particular gig.

And when it does work out that fans get their favorite Hollywood face to star as an MCU or DC character, it's a win-win for everyone.

So fans of Chris Tucker are petitioning hard for him to join the DC in one specific role.

Chris Tucker Would Love To Join The DC Universe

Years ago, Chris Tucker jumped onto Reddit for an AMA with fans. At the time, he was on the comedy circuit with a Netflix special, but as fans know, he's got plenty of other projects under his belt, too.

Unfortunately for Chris, his net worth plummeted over the years, from $40M to nearly nothing. But the good news is, fans have an idea for how Chris can get back into the swing of things and start building a lucrative portfolio in Hollywood again.

And it seems like Chris is up for the challenge; when a fan asked if he'd be interested in starring in either a Marvel or DC Universe project, Tucker responded "I would love to."

He solicited suggestions for characters, and a handful of fans responded with the same idea.

Which DC Role Would Chris Tucker Be Perfect For?

While they didn't immediately jump to a Marvel character for Tucker, fans had a great idea for a DC Universe role for the actor. Overall, they agreed that Chris Tucker should join the DC as Riddler; one fan gushed, "This is a pretty brilliant idea, he would be a perfect Riddler."

Another commenter added, "I didn't realise how much I wanted this," and yet another agreed, "Oh man, seriously the Riddler. It's time."

DC enthusiasts will recall that The Riddler (Edward, either Nigma, Nygma, or Nashton in various iterations) is a supervillain/criminal mastermind that is all about riddles and puzzles.

The quite unflattering question mark bodysuit styling aside, fans think Chris Tucker would be great for this gig because of his background in various film and TV niches.

He's been in sci-fi thrillers, comedies (of course!), crime films, and even a war drama.

That range would offer up the perfect mix of skills to play a criminal mastermind, fans agreed, and Riddler really needs to come to life, like, ASAP. And hey, maybe Chris' son Destin Tucker will follow in his dad's footsteps with acting?

Eventually, they could both appear in the DC franchise -- or maybe Marvel, too.
