Gunn’s Direct Response to Batman Casting Rumors
James Gunn gave a clear answer about Chris Pratt’s potential role. He was asked if the Guardians of the Galaxy star would be his Batman. Gunn’s reply was short and definitive.
He stated, “As Batman? No. As something else? Yes.” This direct quote ends the debate about Pratt playing the Dark Knight. The news was reported by several major entertainment outlets.
Gunn is currently leading DC Studios with producer Peter Safran. They are developing a new slate of films and series. This fresh start is dubbed “Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.”
The first project will be 2025’s “Superman,” starring David Corenswet. “The Brave and the Bold,” a Batman film, is also in development. Director Andy Muschietti is attached to helm the project.
Potential New Roles for the Marvel Star
Gunn’s comment opens the door for countless other possibilities. Chris Pratt could play a hero, a villain, or a supporting character. Fan theories are already running wild across social media.
Some speculate he could be considered for Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Others suggest he might be a good fit for the hero Booster Gold. A villainous role like Maxwell Lord is also a potential option.
Gunn has a history of working with the same actors across projects. He directed Pratt in all three Guardians of the Galaxy films. This established relationship makes the casting news unsurprising to many.
The script for “The Brave and the Bold” is still in development. No actor is officially attached to play Batman yet. Casting announcements are expected in the coming year.
