GOTG VOL. 3 Star Pom Klementieff Rumored To Be In Talks To Play Huntress In The DCU

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 star Pom Klementieff is rumored to have had discussions with James Gunn about jumping ship to the DCU as a new take on the Huntress...

Pom Klementieff, who played Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 as well as the Holiday Special, has previously admitted to having discussions with James Gunn about potentially joining the DCU, and we may now know which character she's in talks to play.

During San Antonio's Superhero Comic Con back in June, Klementieff was asked about potentially joining her GOTG director in the rebooted DC Universe, and if they had discussed any specific characters.

"Do you really think I'm going to answer this question? I just want to keep working with James, so we're going to keep trying to find ways to do that," she responded. "Yes, we've been talking about one specific character, but I can't talk about that right now."

According to MTTSH, that character is Helena Bertinelli, aka the Huntress - although the scooper does note that other roles have also been discussed.

Last year, a rumor did the rounds that DC Studios was developing a Korean-language movie featuring the Huntress as part of the DCU's "Chapter 2" slate, and we'd later hear that South Korean filmmaker and screenwriter Jung Byung-gil (Action Boys, The Villainess, Afterburn) was in talks to write and direct.

We haven't heard anything since, but it always seemed highly unlikely that Mary Elizabeth Winstead would reprise her Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) as Bertinelli, and Klementieff has Korean heritage (though we're not sure if she speaks the language).

DC Studios co-head James Gunn has yet to comment on the original rumor, but he 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.

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 movie and Spike Lee's Oldboy remake).

What do you make of this rumor? Would you like to see Klementieff suit-up as the Huntress in the DCU? Let us know in the comments section down below.

Birds of Prey reboot with Barbara as Oracle.

@soberchimera - I'm in a minority but I like Barbara as Oracle and Cassandra as Batgirl.

@EgoEgor - I would wager a lot of people under the age of 50 grew up after a Killing Joke and Cassandra Cain was their Batgirl

@Nomis929 - DC nepo-universe. Gunn doesn’t like these characters. They’re just vehicles to keep his people in work.

Nomis929 - 9/6/2024, 10:46 AM
@FireandBlood - I don't think Gunn Like Comics in general.

And He certianly don't respect the character's lore from the comics.

@SummersEssex - wait... that implies it's so small she'd have to hunt for it.

Crap.

@SummersEssex - Some people hunt moose and they are quite large. Maybe just say she’s on a big game hunt or something.

She was so annoying in GOTG, but pretty good in mission impossible so huntress may be more up her alley.

Exactly how much money is MTTSH paying this site to run with their guesses? Serious question.

Is it possible for James Gunn hire actors that he hasn't worked with before? The favouritism in his casting is beyond ridiculous. There are other actors out there.

@TheCantilope -I’m not a fan of this casting but filmmakers tend to do that. Hell, STUDIOS tend to do that.

@TheCantilope - You mean like most of the Superman cast?
Steel86
Steel86 - 9/6/2024, 9:55 AM
@TheCantilope - Please stop with this complaint. Tarantino, Nolan, Scorsese, Spielberg, Spike Lee even going back to Alfred Hitchcock directors have been doing this for ages. Makes perfect sense and The Suicide Squad/ Peacemaker disproves what you're saying; plenty of actors he hasn't worked with before and its not like the entire cast are people from the same movies. Shot the principal cast of Superman he hasn't worked with.

@TheCantilope - Do you enjoy Christopher Nolan’s movies? If so, have you ever been bothered when Michael Caine or other actors appear in a lot of them?

@TheCantilope - it is not favoritism, it is trust and hard to come by in hollywood

@Urubrodi - you mean most of the Superman side characters? The main characters were picked meticulously

And you say this as if those actors are not competent in doing their jobs

@Steel86 - good, someone of sound mind on this topic

@cubrn - Not a fan of race swaps just trying to correct the weird attempted correction of referring to her as Asian. I know a lot of Asian people in the US that call themselves Asian so it just seemed like a weird thing to try to call out.
