Chris Pratt, known for his role as Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently hinted at the possibility of making a move to the DC Universe. After visiting the set of Superman: Legacy with director James Gunn, Pratt expressed openness to the idea of joining the DC franchise, stating that “there’s always a chance.”
When asked about which character he would like to portray in the DC Universe, Pratt remained vague, leaving the decision to both the fans and individuals like James Gunn. He emphasized that he is not entirely sure about a specific character but noted that he would be open to exploring new roles if they make sense and fit into his schedule.
Pratt’s collaboration with James Gunn goes back to his Marvel debut as Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy. The duo worked together on the Guardians sequels, as well as Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Gunn’s involvement in the DC Universe, particularly with Superman: Legacy, where Pratt visited the set, has sparked speculation about potential crossover opportunities between the Marvel and DC worlds.
With James Gunn at the helm of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran, there seems to be a more open approach to casting actors from the MCU in upcoming DC projects. Gunn’s statement about the possibility of a crossover between the two comic book universes under his leadership suggests a more collaborative and interconnected future between Marvel and DC.
While the idea of a Marvel-DC crossover excites fans, Gunn acknowledges that any potential collaboration is still years away. He emphasizes the need to establish and solidify DC’s direction first before delving into crossover possibilities. Despite discussions about the crossover, Gunn remains focused on building out the DC multiverse with projects like Superman: Legacy.
Chris Pratt’s interest in joining the DC Universe opens up exciting possibilities for future collaborations between Marvel and DC. With James Gunn’s influence and the evolving landscape of comic book adaptations, fans can anticipate a more interconnected and diverse superhero cinematic experience in the years to come.
