SUPERMAN Will Feature Three GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Stars - And One Addition May Confirm A Major SPOILER

Superman director James Gunn has confirmed that three Guardians of the Galaxy stars will appear in the upcoming DCU reboot, and he might have confirmed a major spoiler for the movie. Check it out...

It was inevitable that filmmaker James Gunn would bring some of the actors he worked with in the MCU to the DCU, and he's now named three Guardians of the Galaxy stars who will be part of Superman

Gunn is currently overseas promoting the first DC Studios movie and confirmed in a new interview that Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff, and Michael Rooker will be in the reboot. 

"I will give you something that nobody knows. Pom Klementieff is one of the robots," he said of Superman's Fortress of Solitude robot guards. "In that same scene, it's Bradley [Cooper], it's also Pom, and Michael Rooker is another one of the robots. We've got two Guardians right there."

Read Gunn's remarks again, and you might notice that, while he says Klementieff and Rooker will join Alan Tudyk as one of the Superman Robots, he stops short of revealing Cooper's role. 

Several months ago, it was widely reported that the Rocket Raccoon actor would physically appear in Superman as Jor-El, Kal-El's Kryptonian father. More on his role can be found in this plot leak, but what of Klementieff and Rooker?

The latter has already had two DCU roles, including Sam Fitzgibbon in Creature Commandos and Peacemaker season 2 villain Red St. Wild. He previously appeared in The Suicide Squad, as did Klementieff (she played a La Gatita Dancer). 

Back to Cooper, and if he is Jor-El, that's a pretty impressive bit of casting on Gunn's part. How much of a role he'll play in the DCU beyond this cameo remains to be seen, as Gunn has confirmed he has no plans to revisit the destruction of Krypton from baby Superman's point of view.

A new TV spot and Lex Luthor-centric promo for Superman have also been released. The latter features a new dialogue scene, while we see the Man of Tomorrow downed by Kryptonite in that 30-second sneak peek. 

Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures.

In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.  

The movie stars David Corenswet in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Also appearing are Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Neva Howell, and Milly Alcock.

Superman arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025.

@JoshWilding - The headline should read “At Least Three GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Stars“. I mean, be realistic. 😒

He's always shouting lol I wonder if he's addressing the public in that speech.

@JurassicClunge - I believe he's having it out with Lex here who is gaslighting him with the public perception post war intervention. Context is key of course so will need to see the scenes but I'm onboard with a idealistic Supes who is passionate about what he stands for. He's got a personality which is something that hasn't been thr case in film since Reeves. Fingers crossed.

@McMurdo - It’s so cute and adorable that you never miss a superman article. This tells you exactly what one does with their time. I wonder if you’ll get emotional whilst you watch it. Try not to wet yourself I know that might be difficult for you. Superman’s biggest fanatic. There’s always one.

@vectorsigma - Wait, I thought you were an "#Ingunnwetrust" dude? Now you're on the nepotism bandwagon because Gunn likes to work with actors he trusts and enjoys working with? And are now getting cozy with a Synderbot? For same. Where are your tribal instincts, man.

Fantastic clip. More character alone for Superman right there than all of the snyderverse. Thank you, Gunn!!!


And that Lex edit is amazing haha... must have consulted some zoomers for the marketing. It's brilliant!

Those promos were nice , I particularly like the moment where Superman states that “they have been wrong about him and that he does love , feel scared etc.

I wonder if Pom is this robot then…

I remember hearing Rooker and Cooper in the clip we got (the latter moreso as the voice of the fortress which lends credence to the theory of him being Jor El in this)

Anyway , fun little bit of banter between Supes and Lex in that second promo!!.

Sounds like an angry whiny Superman. I thought we were supposed to get an inspiring, hopeful Superman? 🤷‍♂️

Wouldn't that be SIX GoG stars? Mikaela Hoover, Sean Gunn, and Nathan Fillion were all in GoG also! It is a good thing that James Gunn does not engage in cronyism AND nepotism.

@Forthas - Most directors "reuse" people they have already worked with on their projects, whenever that's on-camera talent, production crew or both.

I can't believe a director would hire actors he already knows. Clearly, the movie is doomed, as we all are. Oh, the sheer horror !

Did I get it right ?

This is going to be good. There will be some great performances and I think the story is going to be a lot of fun. I’m especially looking forward to Hoult’s Luther. But I still wish we had gotten Man of Steel 2 and Justice League 2. It’s right up there with wanting more seasons of Firefly.

@SummersEssex - MOS2, Ben Affleck's The Batman, Firefly season 2, the Muppets season 2, and Narnia's The Silver Chair are the most gut-wrenching cancellations IMO. I'm probably missing plenty more...

Looking forward to Superman though.

@Super12 - dude, Ben Affleck's Batman... I'm not ready to talk about that cancellation yet.
