GOTG VOL. 3 Mantis Actress Pom Klementieff Teases Potential Action Role In James Gunn's New DC Universe

Do you think James Gunn will actually bring over some of his Guardians of the Galaxy cast to DC Studios as the former Marvel director assumes the reigns on the cinematic home of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman?

Previously, names like Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, and Dave Bautista have popped up in rumors and fan speculation but it seems like a more solid option at the moment, might be Pom Klementieff, best known for playing Mantis in the GotG franchise.

Speaking to The Movie Dweeb to promote her role in Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,  Montieff revealed, "I'm not going to tell you which character. We've been talking about it, [about] one specific character that [James] is thinking of. And I think it would be really, really awesome. It would continue [me] doing action too, so it's exciting."

These statements continue what Klementieff previously disclosed back in April while walking the red carpet during the premiere of Vol. 3. However, Klementieff has now let slip that the role Gunn has in mind for her is action-oriented.

Of the previously announced slate in Gunn's reboot, what role could you see Klementieff playing? Let us know in the comment section below.

As the most casual of comic-book fans, I have one question:

@tylerzero - Willow is Mantis.

Steve Englehart, creator of Mantis, took her with him to DC and put her in Justice League. Then he took her to Valiant and some other companies before she finally returned to Marvel.

I think she’d be a cool Mercy Graves. Very against type compared tonMantis but it would be cool for her to play the opposite end of the Spectrum

@Ha1frican - I was thinking Mercy as well! She would look amazing dressed in a chauffeurs uniform!

Rumor is she’ll play someone in the Authority.

@regularmovieguy - The role of Engineer would be very interesting for her.

She def would make an amazing Talia Al Ghul although I think her voice and line delivery might not match too close. I think she could nail it though.
I think that she will be used for someone in the Wildstorm as well

I think most of the Guardians Of The Galaxy cast will be cast in the DCU.

Don't do this Gunn... Just put in a fresh cast

@Lokiwasright - Do you complain about Nolan using Cilian Murphy and Michael Caine all the time? Or Burton using Depp and Helena Bonham Carter? Or Tarantino using Samuel L Jackson and Michael Madsen? Or Scorsese using DiCaprio and DeNiro? Or Robert Eggars using Anya Taylor Joy and Willem Defoe? Give it a break.

Nyssa Al Ghul doesn't get enough credit, sign her up... but she'd be good whoever they choose for her. Knowing Gunn, could be a deep cut in the mythos they choose for her.

My bet is that she’ll be turning up as either Swift or the Engineer in the Authority. 🤷

Great actress. She turned an obscured character like Mantis into a great character that people actually cared about. I have no doubt she can do the same to an obscured DC character

Saw Dead Reckoning Part 1 last night and Pom is an absolute bad ass in it. She's basically the silent but deadly henchman type of character, but she chews up the scenery whenever she's on screen. I could easily see her being a character like Huntress in the DCU, but I think she'd make a great Mercy Graves as well.
