Chris Pratt would “love” to join the DCU!

The Garfield actor recently visited the set of Superman: Legacy, and director James Gunn posted a behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram.

Chris Pratt would like to join the DCU

Following his recent visit to the set of Superman: Legacy, TMZ asked the actor if he would be interested in joining the other superhero universe. And without hesitation, Pratt replied, “Yes, of course.” He added that he “always has the chance” to make the jump to the franchise if the opportunity presents itself.

However, he did not specifically say which character he would like to play again. “I have to leave that up to the fans and people like James,” he said. “If it fits my schedule and makes sense, I would love it.”

Pratt is already popular in the Marvel Universe for his role as Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. He spoke about his move to the franchise with utmost respect for his superhero character from the other universe.

“Obviously, I love playing Star-Lord, and hopefully there’s a chance I can come back.” He mentioned that he feels blessed to be considered for one of these iconic roles, and that if fans want, he would love to do more of it.

James Gunn is interested in casting Marvel actors in DC projects

Earlier this month, Gunn shared a photo of Pratt on the set of Superman: Legacy, captioning it, “It’s always nice to have friends on set.” The director and The Tomorrow War actor’s collaboration dates back to the first Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014, which Gunn directed, followed by the sequels Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019).

Although Gunn and Pratt are close, that’s not why he would cast him in a DCU film. The director revealed that he is open to casting actors from the Marvel franchise in DC projects.

In an interview with Empire, he revealed that the crossover is more likely now that he’s in charge. “I think we have to establish what we’re doing (at DC) first. I’d be lying if I said we haven’t talked about it. But all the conversations have been very, very casual and fun,” he added. Since the confession, Gunn has been in talks with Pratt’s Guardians co-star Pom Klementieff about playing a “certain character” in the DCU.
