The superhero genre has been thriving for years, which is why various studios have their own cinematic universe in play. Some talent has worked in a few of these franchises, including filmmaker James Gunn. In addition to helming the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise for Marvel, Gunn was recently named the co-CEO of the DCU. He also recently hinted at which Guardians actors he’d like to bring to the DCU, and sign me up. Here’s what he said.
Gunn did the impossible with the Guardians franchise, making the motley crew of unknown heroes into fan favorites. He dipped his toes into the waters of DC with The Suicide Squad and its TV spinoff Peacemaker, and now he’s the architect behind the shared universe as a whole. Gunn recently posted on Threads, where a fan asked if actors Chris Pratt or Pom Klementieff could get a DCU role as themselves.
