Chris Pratt’s Possible DC Universe Casting Explained
In January, prior to unveiling the upcoming movies and TV series in the new DC Universe's lineup, Gunn, the creative chief of DC Studios, mentioned the possibility of bringing the Guardians of the Galaxy cast to DC. Gunn expressed his close relationship with the cast of the MCU franchise, including Pratt and a few other actors, stating that he would likely collaborate with them individually in his other job. This statement sparked excitement among DC fans, as they speculated about the potential roles that the Guardians of the Galaxy cast could take on in the DC Universe. Several weeks later, when the first projects in the DCU were revealed, it was suggested that Pratt could portray Booster Gold in the announced series on Max. However, Gunn has yet to officially confirm any casting choices for the Guardians of the Galaxy actors in the DC Universe.
However, things took an interesting turn in August with a new comment from Gunn regarding Pratt. Gunn replied to a fan suggesting that Pratt and Mantis actress Pom Klementieff should play themselves in Peacemaker season 2. Gunn's response was cryptic, hinting that he had reasons for not wanting either of those actors to play themselves in the DCU. This implies that Gunn already knows which DCU character Pratt should portray, potentially indicating his involvement in one of the upcoming DC Universe projects. Fans eagerly await an official casting announcement in the near future.
