Will Guardians of the Galaxy Cast Join the DCEU? James Gunn Might Have an Answer
James Gunn hints in the potential Gaurdians of The Galaxy cast joining the DC franchise. Gunn says it "would be a spoiler" to reveal more.
James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe will see big names take centre stage such as Sean Gunn for Maxwell Lord, Weasel and G.I. Robot. Sean Gunn of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is the only main Guardians cast confirmed to join the DC Universe thus far.
Gunn was asked in a recent post on Threads to reveal what characters he would cast his other former Guardians of the Galaxy collaborators as in the DCU and explained why he can't exactly answer that question. "Well that would be a spoiler wouldn't it?" Gunn answered.
Just some of the DC roles that fans have been petitioning for Guardians cast members include Chris Pratt as Booster Gold, Dave Bautista as Bane, and Hugo Strange. In an interview with ComicBook, Pratt posited that one is just as likely as the other and he could do both in their respective superhero franchises. He says his work on The Garfield Movie was a major part of the campaign.
"Well, it probably make more sense that I would be Star Lord again," Pratt said in our interview, which you can check out above. "But anything is possible, and especially with James over at DC. Maybe there's something that would be right over there. Maybe both. How about both? Let's do both. I think it's 100% both."
Also rumored in talks with James Gunn for an appearance in his DC Universe is Guardians of the Galaxy alum Pom Klementieff. Having been with Gunn since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, it was said she'd very much love to keep working with him, and if discussions do take place, that would seem the case for Klementieff.
Agents of Fandom reports that, at Superhero Comic Con in San Antonio, the French actress was asked which character she'd like to play in the DCU. Klementieff let it be known she and Gunn are discussing "one specific character," but wasn't at liberty to discuss it. Saying:
"Really, do you think I'm going to answer this question? All I want to do is to continue working with James, so we will continue to find ways of doing that. Yes, we have been talking about one particular character but I cannot talk about that just yet."
DC Studios also announced their first slate for 2025, 2026, and 2027. These were Superman, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, undated movies The Brave and the Bold, Swamp Thing, and The Authority, and HBO Max television series Waller, Booster Gold, Lanterns, Paradise Lost, an animated Creature Commandos series. A live-action Teen Titans movie and animated Jurassic League movie reportedly kicked off development.
"A lot of people think it's going to be Marvel 2.0, and definitely I learned a lot of stuff at Marvel. I think that we have a lot of differences," Gunn explained in 2023. "We are telling a big, huge, central story that is like Marvel, except for, I think that we're a lot more planned out than Marvel from the beginning because we've gotten a group of writers together to work that story out completely. But we're also creating a universe that is like Star Wars, where there's different times, different places, different things, or Game of Thrones, where characters are a little bit more morally complex."
Meanwhile, Nicholas Hoult will appear in X-Men: First Class, Skyler Gisondo from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Pruitt Taylor Vince from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Beck Bennett from M.O.D.O.K. Mikaela Hoover, and Nathan Fillion, who is also scheduled to appear in Superman. They will be joined by David Corenswet, Milly Alcock, and Rachel Brosnahan.
