Is James Gunn Hinting At Plans For GOTG VOL. 3 Stars Chris Pratt & Pom Klementieff In The DCU?

Responding to some fan questions on Threads, James Gunn seemingly indicates that he has plans for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 stars Chris Pratt and Pom Klementieff in the DCU...

By MarkCassidy - Aug 21, 2023 09:08 PM EST

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has previously stated that he'd be open to working with some of his Guardians of the Galaxy cast again in the DCU, and the filmmaker now appears to be teasing potential roles for two particular members of the crew.

A fan asked Gunn if there was any chance we might see the likes of Chris Pratt (Star-Lord) and Pom Klementieff (Mantis) playing themselves in the second season of Peacemaker, and gave a very interesting response.

"There are reasons I wouldn't want either of those actors to play themselves in the DCU!"

Gunn didn't reveal what these reasons were, but it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume it's because he has DC Comics heroes/villains in mind for Pratt and Klementieff to play in future projects!

Fans are already speculating about which characters they could be, with Booster Gold one popular pick for Pratt.

Gunn was also asked if he's mapped out the "lay of the land" for the DCU, as in, where all of the different cities that the heroes are operating out of are located in relation to one another. He responded: "We are creating an incredibly detailed world map."

If Gunn does have DCU roles lined up for Pratt and Klementieff, which DC Comics characters would you most like to see them play? Drop us a comment down below.

@DocSpock - So you're saying there AREN'T reasons he doesn't want them to play themselves in the DCU.

@ClintThaHamster -

I am too drunk and lazy to try and decipher your question.

I believe Pom already said that Gunn has a role in mind for her. She said it on the press tour for Mission Impossible.

So it seems he has a role in mind for Pratt as well then if he's lumping them in together in his response.

@RedFury - I thought she was rumored to be Mercy Graves in Superman: Legacy?.

@TheVisionary25 - I saw Pom at a convention just after GOTG Vol 2 was released and the way she was dressed and the way she had her hair made me think she'd make a good Mercy Graves. Given how bad ass she was in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, I think she'd be perfect for the role.

@RedFury - Her not playing Willow (Mantis' DCU name) is a very big missed opportunity.

But scoop? She's playing Huntress.

@RedFury - To be fair, the person who asked the question named both those actors.

And let's be honest, it was kind of a stupid question. Why would Gunn hire those two to play themselves in the DCU? Why would he hire anyone to play themselves in the DCU, and not actual characters from DC?

@CorndogBurglar - lol I know right. Let's take these two talented, and bankable actors , and put them in throw away cameos. Seems like a smart move! With Kevin Bacon he was set up throughout the franchise to show up in the Christmas special, which was at least warranted.

I can see most of the cast jumping over to the DC Studios now that Guardians Of The Galaxy is pretty much over.

RedFury - 8/21/2023, 9:25 PM
@marvel72 - for sure. Gunn helped make a lot of them famous, they'd be smart to stick with him.

Pom as Cheshire or Katana

@Forthas - Oh no, Gunn might hire some actors who he already knows are talented enough for the parts, the absolute horror, how unfair !

At this point, just admit you have a throbbing hate boner for Gunn and move on, your tirade is getting sad.
Forthas
Forthas - 8/21/2023, 10:17 PM
@OrgasmicPotatoe - OH no! Gunn is hiring actors for films that are not yet green lit, have no director or a script!

That is real responsible management of a multi-million dollar global film studio? I am sure actors that work hard to get roles are happy to see a film studio boss basically say to them that if you want to get a head you need to kiss my a**.

I admit I have a throbbing hate boner for studio execs that engage in this kind of behavior and should be pointed out and denounced. Maybe just maybe if this studio worked to get the best people for the job...their stock might be a little higher, revenues a little bigger, reputation a little better and support from fans a little stronger.

@OrgasmicPotatoe - save your breath. There is absolutely no way you will break through. His same tirades will continue just as sure as the sun comes up in the East.

Next up will be the 1 millionth complaint of if only WB had merged MoS with Bale Batman… blah blah blah
