Chris Pratt confirms he may join James Gunn’s DCU

After visiting the set of James Gunn’s Superman film, Chris Pratt has confirmed that he would like to take on a new role in the DCU.

Pratt is no newcomer to superhero films, having previously starred in the Guardians of the Galaxy films for Marvel. After fans spotted Pratt on the set of James Gunn’s Superman on June 17, many began to wonder if he was secretly starring in the new film.

Although this rumor seems to be out of date, that doesn’t mean Pratt wouldn’t want to star in an upcoming DC film. In fact, the Marvel star himself says, “There’s always a chance.”

As for what role he would play, Pratt told TMZ, “I’ll have to leave that up to the fans and people like James. I’m not entirely sure. I’m really not sure.” When asked directly if he would be willing to give up his Marvel roots for a new DC role, Pratt replied, “Yes, of course.”

“If it fits my schedule and makes sense, I would love it,” he continued. “Obviously, I love playing Star-Lord, and hopefully there’s a chance it could happen again. I just feel so blessed to be able to do all of this, to be considered for all of this. If it’s right and the fans love it, I would be more than happy to do it.”

Pratt’s presence on the set of the Superman movie has already got fans talking about which DC character he could potentially play. One of the big contenders is Batman, since Robert Pattinson’s version of the masked crusader is not part of the DCU.

If Pratt were to join Gunn’s DCU, he wouldn’t be the only Guardians star to do so. Just last week, Pom Klementieff revealed at Superhero Comic Con in San Antonio that she was in talks with Gunn about the potential role of a specific (and unnamed) character.

“I just want to keep working with James, so we’ll keep trying to find ways to do that,” she said (via Agents of Fandom). “Yes, we talked about a specific character, but I can’t talk about that right now.”
