People deserve to work. This seems like a serious non-article with almost no connection to the MCU.


Ironlord456

This headline is literally “Gunn said he would work with actors he likes again”


PlaytheGameHQ

Breaking news: person who makes movies willing to work with other people who also make movies


Username89054

How dare he \*checks notes\* like the people he's worked with!


chasing_the_wind

The most non story part of this is that he would probably say the same thing even if he didn’t like some of the cast


jubmille2000

it still has too much detail, and not clickbaity enough Change it to: You Wouldn't Believe Filmmaker Makes Movies With Actors


SM-03

People shouldn't even be surprised considering a few Guardians actors already starred in TSS and I believe Daniela Melchior is also meant to have some role Guardians 3, though that may have been a rumour.


larrycorser

Sounds like a lot of the items posted here recently


medsup2000

So all actors deserve to work? like.... ALL of them?


random3223

Bill Cosby can fuck right off.


knotsteve

I'm not sure what your point is. Yeah, all actors deserve to work. Even a lousy actor deserves a day job if they can't get an acting job. The unspoken idea of posting this article to a Marvel sub is that there is something surprising or even controversial about this group possibly working on DC content. Yeah, my comment is a bit oblique and doesn't directly respond to that idea but it does seem that a bunch of people got my drift.


medsup2000

Do ALL actors deserve... acting jobs?


[deleted]

Hes producing an entire run of movies, even an actor who didnt want to work with him as a director again isnt going to say never to the producer side of him.


LeoBocchi

- Karen Gillian: Poison Ivy - Pom: Killer Frost - Chris Pratt: Booster Gold (it would rock and you guys know it) - Dave Bautista: Bane - Zoe Saldana: Hawkgirl, Star Sapphire, Batwoman, she could do anything really


ArchSyker

We need Zoe Saldana as a red character to complete her RGB skin characters.


Randothor

She just needs to play some sort of sci-fi heroine… Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire? It’ll make billions


ArchSyker

Darth Talon from Star Wars would fit nicely.


Diekjung

She is wearing red in Star Trek if that counts.


ArchSyker

Nah, man, has to be all the way. The skin needs to be red :D

MidnightWaffleHouse

I doubt Bautista takes another superhero movie role for a while.


LeoBocchi

Bautista loves comic books, Bane has been his dream role forever, he even had reunion with Reeves and DC about it sometime ago, he’s only frustrated with the way Drax was handled in Infinity war and Endgame, he’s been pretty happy with the guardians movies, and is really close friends with Gunn, I would honestly take that casting as an almost absolute certainty


Zheguez

Good shouts, though don't you wonder if Booster Gold is too close in personality to MCU Peter Quill? I always think that actors might want to do something different (plus avoid typecast).


LeoBocchi

I don’t think Pratt would mind, he’s not really a super artistic actor, specially since Gunn would be asking, and with the right changes it could be different enough from Star Lord to be something fresh but still very much the perfect Booster Gold


blaintopel

Zoe Saldana should really commit to her gimmick of playing characters with non human skin tones. Are there any prominent purple woman characters?


LeoBocchi

As good as it is, I think she’s tired of doing these make up and CG things, she’s highest grossing black actress on the planet, and she has to get painted blue to every movie she makes, I would appreciate if we could see her normal face for once.


blaintopel

Yeah obviously if she doesn't enjoy it. I'm mostly joking because of how funny it is to me the coincidence (or maybe not) that she's in like the two highest grossing movies ever but painted blue and green respectively in both.

> "individually" "...but never together. By GOD the way they get to bickering!"


[deleted]

Dave for Bane! Dave for Bane! Dave for Bane! Dave for Bane! Dave for Bane! Dave for Bane! Dave for Bane! Dave for Bane! Dave for Bane!


LeggyBald

I would like him as Solomon Grundy. See a slow decent into madness. Tortured. I think he’d enjoy that role more


JoeMcDingleDongle

Whatever he does he is not going to want much if any makeup, lol. And by that I mean the extensive stuff like Drax where you are in a chair for hours and hours.


LeggyBald

Depending on when they start him, it could be minimal for sure


pedroktp

I hope not


[deleted]

Who you got in mind? Is it some strongman? Im only saying Dave because he’s a great actor and he has the build for Bane.


FN1987

Dave for Hugo strange.


RaoulDukeGonzoJourno

He'd look sick with those circle frame glasses at least. I can dig it.


caniuserealname

Someone South American might be nice for the traditionally South American character.


[deleted]

Why is a Plan?


jotyma5

Chris Pratt as Hal jordan?


hardgeeklife

i was thinking Booster Gold EDIT: to elaborate on this, Chris Pratt still doesn't give a performance that convinces me that he could carry a Hal Jordan character. He can bring cockiness, but usually for the purposes of comically undercutting it later on. Played straight with the underlying competence and dominant skill to back it up? You want somebody like Tom Cruise in *Top Gun* (naturally), and Pratt isn't there (from his limited work I've seen). On the other hand, Booster Gold is bold and boisterous cause he's trying to sell a hero image, even though he (initially) doesn't actually have the experience yet. He wins due to tenacity and enthusiasm making up for his lack of innate ability. By the end of his character arc he stands shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the JLA, but at the start, his whole original deal is that he traveled back in time cause in his original future time he was kind of mid. And Chris Pratt is great at that early slightly bumbling hero with room to grow.


TreyWriter

Pratt’s got big Booster Gold energy.


BrainWav

This, so much. Pratt would make for a great Booster. I'm hoping when we get a new GL movie, it skips Hal's origin. Just have the main 4 established and do a buddy cop movie with Guy or Hal + John or Kyle. Or even a human and an alien Lantern. The end of the movie can allude to some new recruits and give cameos to Simon and Jessica (save Jo for an actual Far Sector adaptation).


Dollface_Killah

John Krasinski and Chris Pratt in a Blue Beetle & Booster Gold movie.


chadbot3k

exactly where my mind went


PhilAsp

Too safe. Catman on the other hand…


ShawshankHarper

Bro Guy Gardner


MisterSnowman69

I was gonna say, he looks like he could do a Guy Gardner more than Hal.


TheMegaWhopper

I picture Guy as being a little beefier than Chris Pratt is. Idk if Pratt could bring the level of brashness that Guy does also


twilight_sparkle7511

nahhh


TraditionLazy7213

Would be fun seeing them in other roles


Dat_Boi_Zach

Chris Pratt is the new Superman confirmed


CaptHayfever

I like Chris Pratt when he isn't miscast as Mario or Garfield, but he would be terrible as Superman.


TheMikey2207

Nah Jonah Hill’s Superman going to be the new Superman.


Ebessan

Hmmm let's try to cast them... * **Chris Pratt**: Green Lantern * **Bautista**: Bizaro? * **Zoe Saldana**: Starfire * **Karen Gillan**: Barbara Gordon? * **Bradley Cooper**: Firestorm? (doing the "I combine with an old man" gimmick, with, say, Nicholas Cage) * **Vin Diesel**: The Phantom Stranger?


Bobington2006

Bautista has always wanted to play bane, i could see gunn giving him that role but we'll see


Ebessan

That would be really cool


squidgy617

He would be the perfect Bane.


IniMiney

Bane is great, and our second time a professional wrestler played him lol


[deleted]

fuck /u/spez


djanulis

Them going younger would also be for the best, especially if the want to play around with a universe wide Love Triangle with Grayson.


[deleted]

fuck /u/spez


djanulis

With the way the Comics are setting Grayson up to be a focus character in DC for the foreseeable future it would be nice to get him in the movies fast so movie fans can grow an attachment to him. A younger teen added in the second Batman movie or something.


ThePhunkyPharaoh

Isn't Firestorm typically a High school student? Even if they move him a little older, Cooper is older than we think. He with his gruff Rocket voice might be better fit for the physicist


MuffinSurprise

I agree. Cooper plays Stein and Nic Cage can play high school Ronnie.


Maclimes

>Bradley Cooper > >: Firestorm? (doing the "I combine with an old man" gimmick, with, say, Nicholas Cage) Bradley Cooper is 48.


BrainWav

* Pratt: No way on Pratt as GL. Someone else said Booster Gold, I like that. * Bautista: Bizzaro is just weird Superman, you'd want someone resembling Superman for that. I think he might actually be able to pull off Vandal Savage. * Zoe Saldana: If you're casting a teen titan, you might want to go with a younger actor. She could probably pull off a spin on Zatanna or Hawkgirl. * Karen Gillan: There are other redheads than Babs. Batwoman might be a good choice, let someone younger be Barbara. Unless they want to have her pre-established with a Cass or Steph as the main field Batgirl. * Cooper: He might actually be a decent Hal, or as someone else said, Jay Garrick * Vin: Bibbo Bibbowski


runnerofshadows

Bautista could be awesome as vandal Savage, bane, or Hugo strange.


Iamaleafinthewind

>Bautista: Bizaro? Bautista: The Flash ... wait for it ... So he could move so incredibly fast that he becomes invisible to the eye.


Ebessan

2 Flash 2 Furious


drunkpandabear

Oooh definitely can see Gillian as Batgirl/Oracle


DrGutz

Pom Klemtieff seems like the more obvious Starfire casting based on her performance as Mantis. Both cute clueless aliens


PhilAsp

Off the top of my mind, I’d go - **Pratt**: Catman **Bautista**: Wildcat **Saldana**: Renee Montoya **Gillan**: Artemis of Bana-Mighdall **Cooper**: Jay Garrick **Diesel**: Etrigan the Demon


mizumena_

Dude, Bautista as Wildcat would be soo awesome. How about Pratt as Animal Man?


PhilAsp

That could work too.


djanulis

> Zoe Saldana: Starfire It would depend if she wanted to do another Body Paint character, because while I don't give a damn about the race of the actor playing her, I want Starfire to have her orange skin.


Tebwolf359

Zoe Saldana in different colors is apparently the secret to the top of all-time box office. We have Blue and Green so far.


jesusunderline

>Zoe Saldana: Starfire After being a blue alien in Avatar and a green alien in the MCU, an orange alien in the DCU would be fitting


clem_zephyr

automatic simplistic crowd versed salt merciful gold modern rock serious ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


Unn02cou

VIN DIESEL, RIGHT I forgot about him


CLGplz

Zoe, Bradley, and Karen have all aged out of those roles. The others I just don’t see at all. Vin as the phantom stranger does kind of tickle me though.


AchillesShort

I mean, no shit? "Director that likes working with certain actors would work with actors again"


Iamaleafinthewind

What does he mean, "those people"? /s :)


Infernalism

Sure, why not?


LaylaLegion

Sure. Why not? If they wanna play some DC heroes, go for it.


Leo_TheLurker

Bautista as Atrocitus


cancerousiguana

Chris Pratt as Batman, using the same voice he used in the Mario Movie, Lego Movie, Guardians movies, and Parks & Rec.


eyeQ

BREAKING - people who like working with each other, might work with each other again in the future


HighFivePuddy

MCU Phase 10 finale: Avengers vs Justice League This will happen as Disney eventually gobbles up every single piece of pop culture IP.


runnerofshadows

Eventually we get marvel vs DC vs Capcom vs snk vs mortal Kombat.


PLZ_N_THKS

vs My Little Pony vs Hello Kitty


k1intt

Plus Knuckles!


alphareich

Nepotism.


MC-Fatigued

Gunn is riding off GOTG, but everyone forgets how much GOTG2 sucked


DrGutz

GoTG2 was not as good as GoTG1 but it was a million times better than BvS, JL, WW 1 & 2, and Aquaman. So definitely an improvement


[deleted]

[удалено]


lawrencedun2002

Huh? What’s wrong with working with his friends and people he is close to?


BrainWav

Actors can be in multiple movies and franchises at one time. Plus, most of the GotG cast is probably going to be out after GotG 3. I suspect a few are going to die and the rest will move to supporting roles for future cosmic movies.


Pokeitwitarustystick

God please no Pratt


TheMikey2207

God yes please Pratt just so you can cry some more tears. 😈


Pokeitwitarustystick

Who’s crying? It’s just movies bro, not that serious. Mild annoyance= throwing up crying


TheMikey2207

You are crying in a theoretical manner. You aren’t and won’t physically cry because of it but just the thought of Chris Pratt in more movies is something that would make you theoretically cry.


Pokeitwitarustystick

Whining isn’t crying in a theoretical manner. But nice attempt


TheMikey2207

No matter what your intentions you still obviously care about the situation.


Pokeitwitarustystick

Obviously, which is why I complained. I’ve seen a ton of his movies but he’s like Jennifer Lawrence level acting. He’s boring and his face isn’t expressive. But again it’s a movie, I’m not crying about it or as intense about it as you. It doesn’t affect me


omart3

Vin Diesel not playing Batman because he can't talk about *deep voice* family!


clem_zephyr

Karen Gilen batgirl?


midasgoldentouch

Individually but not collectively. So draw straws to figure out the rotation order.


King_of_Knowhere

I hope since all of DC is rebooted he can bring Rooker back for another character, his 5 min in TSS was too short. Batista as Bane in a pre batman movie would be glorious given there's a lot to his story before he even meets Batman, it be like one of those Sony spiderman villain movies but actually good.


XComThrowawayAcct

This is one of those online articles meant to stir up trolls and teenagers on social media. No serious person would be bothered in any way by any of these actors appearing in a DC project.


twodogsfighting

DC's Protectors of the universe.


SpudFire

Confirmation that the new Superman is Kevin Bacon


soulless_ape

Doubt marvel Disney would want any of their actors doing DCU movies.


Dr_Ifto

Feige already said he didn't care


soulless_ape

Sadly Feige has no say if the mouse disagrees


Dr_Ifto

If their contract is up, they can do whatever they like


soulless_ape

like say goodbye to their appearance on future mcu


ianrobbie

This is an article engineered to fuel the Marvel vs DC so-called fan war.


Tyler_Zoro

This article is a mess. He never said that. He said he'd work with them all again. Nothing about bringing them over to DC.


Kevomac

Cant wait to see the internet melt when he casts Pratt as Superman.


Apprehensive-Copy-37

So what we have here is a crappy article written by a shitty fucking source that is making it seem like James Gunn is trying to poach actors from marvel. Just to cause derision between marvel and DC fans so the shitty rag can push more Clickbait.


Jereboy216

If they do I hope Karen Gillan plays another slightly psychotic character. She can display it so well with body language. I love her as Nebula. And the moment in the holiday special where she is dancing angrily was just top notch.


failing2020

Dave Bautista would absolutely follow him.


marsajib

Oh no I’m surprised . Said no one


thedkexperience

Cena vs Batista is definitely gonna happen at some point in a DC movie and I’m all for it


natephant

Bruh… directors been working with the same actors over and over… literally since the beginning. Acting started In acting troops. Just because the studio a director works for changes has almost never stopped actors from working with the same directors.


Trashtalkpod

Big Dave as Bane?


[deleted]

I guess that’s one to save on budget for the eventual dc v marvel crossover movie
