GOTG VOL. 3 Star Pom Klementieff Reportedly Still Attached To Play HUNTRESS In The DCU

James Gunn has confirmed that several international DCU projects are in the works, one of which is believed to be a Korean-language Huntress movie starring Pom Klementieff...

Yesterday, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn revealed that DCU "projects from Korea, Japan, and Brazil" are currently in development. Though he didn't elaborate, it was generally assumed that the Korean project he's referring to is the Huntress movie we first heard about back in 2023.

At the time, reports indicated that the film was moving forward with South Korean filmmaker and screenwriter Jung Byung-gil (Action Boys, The Villainess, Afterburn) in talks to write and direct, and a rumor that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 star Pom Klementieff might be in talks to play the lead did the rounds shortly after.

Nexus Point News has now shared some new details on these international projects, and the site believes that Klementieff - who has Korean heritage - is still attached to play Helena Bertinelli, who will be "depicted as half-Korean and half-Italian."

If you only know her from the GOTG movies, Klementieff might seem like an odd pick to play Huntress, but she is well-versed in more dramatic and action-heavy roles (see the latest Mission: Impossible movies and Spike Lee's Oldboy remake).

Huntress was previously played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn), but she never seemed likely to reprise the role following the DCU revamp.

It's worth noting that the Huntress film was never officially announced, but Gunn is a big fan of Byung-gil's work, and shared the following to his Instagram account during a visit to Seoul while promoting Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

According to NPN: "The core elements that make up Huntress will be present in the several other projects being developed as part of DC Studios’ international slate. These elements include, an international setting, the series being written and spoken in that country’s respective language, and a cast composed of actors from that respective country."

Apparently, the plan is for the characters featured in the projects to "appear in other projects that are spoken in English."

We're still not sure which characters these other projects will focus on, but they are believed to be TV shows (Huntress may turn out to be the only feature), and some will likely be animated.

What do you make of these updates? Are there any specific characters you hope to see get the spotlight in these foreign-language DCU projects? Drop us a comment down below.

By James Gunn standards she is perfectly cast. She was in Guardians of the Galaxy. That qualifies her for any DC role. Talent...shmalemt!!!

I haven't found anything about her being Italian. Isn't the character of Helena Bertinelli Italian?

Interesting….

Not sure how I feel about this if true but I admire the ambition and somewhat innovative approach.

The Villainess is a decent template for a Huntress project so if Gunn wants the director of that but he wants it to be in the Korean language then I can understand changing the characters background to an extent…

Pom would be a good choice given her as Paris in the recent MI films so she can handle a more serious and action heavy role.

A Bane series set in the prison Island of Santa Prisca and being in Spanish could be cool too.

Looks like they've made their minds to pursue these international projects no matter what even if their original slate still isn't complete due to projects falling in development hell or being shelved like Sgt. Rock.

Well if they could come up with a DCU project that takes place in Peru that'd be nice. If they're willing to make very big changes to the origins of some of these characters like making Helene Bertinelli be half-Korean and half-Italian when they see it fit then I'm sure they can cook something for the aforementioned example. Brazil isn't the only Latin American country, FYI. <3

I wonder if the animated Blue Beetle TV series (also lowkey stuck in development) would count as an international IP for them.
