As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for superhero movies, I can’t help but feel a sense of exhilaration at the prospect of James Gunn breathing new life into the DC Universe. With his remarkable track record from Marvel, particularly the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, it’s hard not to be thrilled about what he’ll bring to the table for DC.
It’s common knowledge among enthusiasts of upcoming superhero films that the DC Universe is undergoing a major transformation, led by the creative ideas of James Gunn. Now jointly in charge with Peter Safran at DC Studios, Gunn is preparing to reshape our expectations for these classic characters on the big screen. His eagerly awaited interpretation of Superman will initiate this new phase, enticingly named “Gods and Monsters,” and we recently received an exciting piece of news about it.
As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but get excited about the news that the director behind the Peacemaker, who made such an impact with his work on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, is taking the helm for DC’s upcoming movies. A fan recently asked him an intriguing question – could any of the Guardians cast make an appearance in his future projects? Now, I’m keeping a sharp eye on what he has to say about that!
James Responds To A Fan’s GotG Question
Lately, an engaging exchange on social media has stirred up more curiosity regarding a certain topic. On Threads, a fan named @aaronhumbyart asked James an intriguing question: if he could pick any Marvel cast members to work in the DC Universe, who would he select? This question sparks excitement about the possibility of characters crossing over between these two prominent superhero universes. Given his background working with both franchises, The Suicide Squad director’s response is particularly intriguing. However, James, true to form, left us guessing by not providing a clear answer. Instead, the Slither director playfully kept us on edge by responding cryptically.
Well that would be a spoiler wouldn’t it?
Hinting at the possibility of some familiar faces making an appearance, wouldn’t you agree?
As a diehard fan, Gunn’s cryptic response left me buzzing with excitement, sparking a whirlwind of theories about which Avengers: Endgame cast members might leap into the DC Universe next. Given James’s strong bonds with his returning crew, the options seem almost limitless. It’s not hard to visualize him inviting some Marvel comrades over to play in his freshly minted DC playground.
One widely-discussed fan speculation posits that Dave Bautista, known for his portrayal of Drax in the Guardians series, might assume the role of Darkseid, one of Superman’s toughest adversaries. Bautista’s impressive build and talent for conveying both intensity and humor make him an ideal candidate for this character, particularly under Gunn’s guidance.
Previously, Bautista has shown an inclination towards tackling more intricate characters than Drax, and the character of Darkseid could undoubtedly offer a new, exciting hurdle for him as an actor.
Which Guardians Members I Would Like To See In The DCU
Pondering about hypothetical appearances of past MCU actors in other universes, I found myself wondering: Which characters from their previous roles would I enjoy seeing transition, and what characters might they suit best? Here are my suggestions for a potential GotG cameo.
- Zoe Saldana as Big Barda: A member of the New Gods with immense strength and combat abilities, often wielding a mega-rod.
- Chris Pratt as Ambush Bug (Irwin Schwab): A comedic, fourth-wall-breaking character aware of being in a comic book universe right in Pratt’s wheelhouse. Also, Gunn loves his weird characters, and few get more bizarre than Ambush Bug.
- Vin Diesel as Kilowog: We already know at least one Green Lantern Corp member is showing up in a cameo played by Nathan Fillion, so lets throw in another. Kilowog, a large, alien Green Lantern known for training recruits and his strength, would be a perfect opportunity for Diesel to say more than “I am Groot.”
- Karen Gillan as Poison Ivy: A botanist turned eco-terrorist with the ability to control plants and toxins. Okay, this one is probably too obvious, but there have already been rumors, so let’s go with what feels right!
- Pom Klementieff as Black Orchid: A mysterious superheroine with the ability to shapeshift and mimic other people’s appearances.
- Bradley Cooper as The Question (Vic Sage): A faceless detective who uses his skills to uncover conspiracies and fight corruption. Cooper has the build and the voice, so let’s make it happen.
- Michael Rooker as Wildcat (Ted Grant): A seasoned boxer and vigilante who mentors younger heroes and has a strong sense of justice.
So, will any of my proposed castings come true? Most likely not, but who knows, we all need a bit of imagination now and then! However, we do know that one actor from the Guardians series is jumping ship to the DC Universe – James Gunn’s brother, Sean, is slated to portray Maxwell Lord. For those unaware, Sean isn’t just known for his role as Kraglin, the Ravager, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe trilogy and some Avengers movies; he also breathed life into Rocket Raccoon through his exceptional performance capture work.
