Chris Pratt talked with James Gunn about joining the DCU before Gunn left
The actor said conversations were informal and never led to concrete plans.
Chris Pratt has revealed that he and James Gunn discussed the possibility of Pratt joining the DC Universe before Gunn stepped down as co-CEO of DC Studios. In an interview with Black Tree TV, Pratt said the talks were casual and did not result in any firm plans.
Pratt noted that the conversations were “never super fruitful” and that there was no project in development that would be affected by Gunn’s departure. The two have worked together since the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie in 2012, with Pratt starring as Star-Lord.
Pratt said he would follow Gunn “to the ends of the earth” and would say yes to any role Gunn offered. However, he admitted he has not spoken to Gunn since the news of his exit and does not know the details of his departure.
Gunn and Safran will be replaced by former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham on December 1, 2026. The future of Gunn’s DCU plans remains unclear, with reports suggesting Skydance may dismantle the current slate.
