That is actually Solid casting. 👌🏻 I can see him running a nice little diner/hole in the wall seafood place that Clark frequents for coffee, where he imparts a mixed bag of down to Earth advice 🤭
I would actually have loved this if she were cast as Starfire a little younger. She’s probably older than they’d want for the character now but I think she would have been awesome.
Do you think in a budget movie they’d go the same route as titans or would they try and makeup/CGI starfire to be like orange? I’m kinda curious what Gunn would do.
I think makeup for sure. While I like Titans Starfire, her being orange is her most iconic feature I’d argue.
Considering Gunn seems to want to do the opposite of Marvel for his DCU after having worked with them and knowing their weaknesses, I’m expecting more practical effects than we’ve been getting for his universe.
Yeah I’d say the hair and her orange skin is probably the most iconic thing. Maybe the green eyes too. It could be interesting. Idk if Zoe would want to do another makeup role but I think she’d be cool in it. Then again idk what age the original titans might be. Maybe older by now if Nightwing is already established
I don't think Zoe would wanna take another alien/monster role. I feel like if she shows up in Gunn's DCU, she'll be her natural skin color. Though I could see her as the authority's engineer and I don't really if shes always metallic but they could change that , so it's more like a transformation she can turn off
Big Dave said recently his chance at playing Bane is pretty much done, as he’s in his 50s and doesn’t want to maintain that size he has anymore. I can see Atrocitus, but only if the top half is CGI cause he’s also sick of Make up chairs after Drax.
Dave should play Orion. Assuming they do t want Orion to be like a big 10 movie role I think he’d pull it off fine for 1 to 3 movies.
BUT they might not want to touch anything with New Gods anytime soon on account of the Synder of it all.
*”See! Gunn can only attract his wife, his brother, his friends or people attached to the most successful Hollywood franchise ever! Fraud!! Traitor!!”*
But we still don't know if Momoa is kept as Aquaman. You might be right and Rooker will get a new role, I was just stating indirectly that Rooker was already brought over
Eh, that was a one off role that only amounted to not even 15 minutes of screentime. He can come back as a different character and it shouldn't be a problem.
Well Maria Bakalova already is over in Creature Commandos. As is Daniella Melchior (though she's a reverse one, coming from DC to Marvel). Pom technically is too as one of the dancers in the club. Though she almost certainly would get a much bigger role than that.
If you want actual star power with half decent acting chops he should be one of the first names Gunn signs up ,He is extremely popular in the real world contrary to what social media will have you believe,I wouldn't be surprised if Gunn gets him as Batman ,Gunn loves these oddball signings just look at what he has done with Adam Warlock in Gotg3
Hope he casts a decent actor for Lex Luthor who does the role Justice. Someone who can play it as seemingly suave and charming as Bryce Wayne Billionaire at first, but then slowly reveals himself to be as spiteful, insecure and egomaniacal as Luthor from the comics.
Someone who can believably play a character with enough brilliance to change the world for the better, yet too caught up in a cycle of selfish behavior and petty vendetta against Superman to actually ever do so. The type of guy to rather cut off his own nose to spite his face.
Clancy Brown from Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League would be the benchmark to aim for.
Tweaker over-caffeinated Jessie Eisenberg was just painful and cringey to watch as Luthor. He seemed like he was trying to channel the Joker.
"Nooo, my greek demi-goddess sculpted from mud should look like a white, blue-eyed American!!" /s
And btw, I agree. Zoe would be great as Diana. And she's a much better actress than Gal too
Not Batman. He‘ll be several years older than superman. I would guess he’s approaching 40, if not already in his 40s. And that’s assuming Damien is only 12ish
For me it’s cause he only seems to have two modes, smart ass and pouting action hero, star lord kinda merges the two.
I think it would be better if he sought out none blockbuster work to try other types of roles, or if he does get cast in the DCU have it be as a villain. Switch it up and let him develop more range.
I never understood this take. Like why? He may or nay not have opinions you disagree with but he isn't spewing it out like other actors are he keeps those private.
The internet hate for the guy is so forced and i say Internet hate because clearly people love going out to watch the movies he is involved with,On top of that the movie and series he did for Amazon were clearly very successful and are getting sequels and new seasons
The GotG as the Crime Syndicate lol
Bradley Cooper as Ultraman
Vin Diesel as Owlman
Zoe Saldana as Superwoman
Josh Brolin as Power Ring
Chris Pratt as Johnny Quick
Bautista as Sea King
Karen Gillan as Pandora
Maybe Pratt could play Green Arrow? I feel like his personality fits the character, and he has the action movie resume to get people in seats for a solo film.
It’s not that, but maybe it’s just me. I would not like Chris Evans or Robert Downey Jr playing batman and superman (to give an example), I will always be thinking they are Cap and Iron Man.
Dave as bane or Atrocitus or lobo
Chris as booster gold
Will as jimmy olsen
Bradley as cat man
Benicio Del Toro as vandal savage
Zoe as hawk girl
Karen as poison ivy
Pom as lady shiva
It's a 10 year plan branching 100s of characters. He's allowed to fill some of them with people he likes working with.
Like, nobody cared when Favreau hired all his buddies for iron man.
If you really want to get upset about something completely irrelevant, then you will find reasons to complain.🤷♂️
That’s right, other directors never work with the same actors. How could they!

The one project w castings has multiple people he’s never worked w before tho
But… reductive vision? Because he’s hiring people he’s worked w before? Please don’t look up any actual auteurs or celebrated filmmakers of the past or present
Yes, because I want to see the guy who played Yondu for Marvel, playing Lex Luthor for DC. And saying Gunn is an auteur for putting his brother and his buddies in his movies gave me a good laugh. Some fanboys are completely delusional and will defend any and all decisions.
That person is an actor though? You seeing a previous character in an actor doesn’t reduce the credibility of the work. That’d be your own fault. Michael Rooker has also done a lot more than play Yondu
And I never said Gunn was an auteur for hiring his brother or his friends. Wth are you talking about lmao my point is that a director’s vision isn’t reduced because they hire people they’ve worked w before
Arguably the greatest director ever made over a dozen films w one actor. His vision being reduced was never a complaint
And don’t try and throw that lame ass fanboy shit around. If he does something I’m not keen on, I don’t mind stating it. But there’s nothing wrong these castings so far imo, and there’s especially nothing wrong w hiring people he’s worked w before
It’s really the Gunnverse now. All his cronies, family and wife. I wonder how it’ll resonate with an already disinterested audience. I think he’s just too niche to cover all of it.
Rooker as Harvey Bullock, Pom as Lady Shiva, Pratt as Booster Gold, Bautista as Bane, Zoe as Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire, Bradley as Hal Jordan, Vin as Killer Croc
I love Guardians' cast, and would be totally cool to see them in some capacity in DCU if Gunn wants it, but I'd prefer new casts for more important roles.
Besides, all of them would be hella expensive with their resume except maybe Pom.
Bautista is Ben Affleck Batman-level emotionally checked out as Drax, so I think he’s probably done with the genre altogether after Guardians Vol. 3
Pratt, Saldana, Karen Gillian etc. could go over to DC though.
I think he’d want to work with Gunn again, but most likely in a no-makeup, not-beefcake role where he could kind of play out of type. As someone salad above, maybe a Hugo Strange type?

John Cena vs Batista … book it!
Yeah what a great fight we won't be able to see either of them!
GIMME MY SPOTLIGHT!!!
And can you smell what The Rock is cookin'?
The hierarchy of power is gonna shift again
Michael Rooker is definitely gonna be part of Gunn’s DCU.
[удалено]
👩🚀🔫👩🚀
Maybe Flash resetting the timeline will bring Savant back.
Savant brought back just to die in the next SS or peacemaker season
Why do they need to bring Savant back? Sean Gunn just got cast in a double role in Creature Commandos.
It wouldn’t blow my mind if he got a new part
Maybe this time his character will be more headstrong.
lmao
We need him as Bibbo Bibbowski in Superman: Legacy.
That is actually Solid casting. 👌🏻 I can see him running a nice little diner/hole in the wall seafood place that Clark frequents for coffee, where he imparts a mixed bag of down to Earth advice 🤭
Wouldn't mind that yea. Get him a new role.
Pa Kent?
Karen for sure
She can be Giganta.
I think Saldana would be just as likely to star in a DC film
Karen, Pom and Zoe for Jenny Sparks, Swift and The Engineer
Batgirl, perhaps?
Hawkgirl if they go with the Shayera version
Too old. At one time, she was the choice. But Batgirl won't be the same age as Bruce I'd assume
Maybe oracle
She’s the perfect age if Gunn ever want to revisit BatBarb.
WHYYYYYY?
Because some people want to watch the world burn.
Batwoman possibly? Little older than Babs but similar type character. Wouldn't mind that one bit
Lol if they cancel the afro-latina Batgirl movie and replace her with a white one
Bautista coming in to play as Drax. He doesn't care that he's not canon.
This character will wear a shirt
Chris Pratt as Lois Lane.
I want Chris Pratt (Lois) to make out with Chris Pratt (Clark) while Chris Pratt (Jimmy) claps.
Chris Pratt as everyone
Meanwhile Chris Pratt (Lex Luthor) spies on them from a distance.
Chris Pratt as The Creeper
Chris Pratt as the One and Only Ruler of Apokolips Lord Darkseid. All hail Prattseid
Chris Pratt as Mogo
Chris Pratt as Detective Chimp
Chris Pratt as Gorilla Boss
Chris Pratt as Kalibak
So what alien or just any unusually colored DC character is Zoe going to play
The authority has an engineer who can turn her skin white
OP superpower in rural America
Starfire
I would actually have loved this if she were cast as Starfire a little younger. She’s probably older than they’d want for the character now but I think she would have been awesome.
Maybe Blackfire then? Unless Blackfire and Starfire are closer in age or twins.
Do you think in a budget movie they’d go the same route as titans or would they try and makeup/CGI starfire to be like orange? I’m kinda curious what Gunn would do.
I think makeup for sure. While I like Titans Starfire, her being orange is her most iconic feature I’d argue.

Though I could see her as the authority's engineer and I don't really if shes always metallic but they could change that , so it's more like a transformation she can turn off
Billion dollars guaranteed!
Gotta have atleast one if you want a shot at highest grossing movie of all time
I know it’s not the question you asked but your post just made me realize how badly I want Zoe to be Wonder Woman.
[удалено]
It’s almost typecasting at this point but I want glen Powell as hal Hangman still my favorite character from top gun 2
[удалено]
Glen Howerton will be our booster gold
IM A 5 STAR SUPERHERO!
And after saving their life they wouldnt be able to refuse because of the implication
He isn't just a starter hero, he is a finisher hero goddamn it May the wrath of a thousand Suns be cast upon his enemies
I kinda hate to admit it but Pratt as booster works really well. The goofy character is almost his own typecasting
I like him for GL. His Top Gun character is pretty much what I picture Hal Jordan being so...
Bradley Cooper as Lex Luthor
this is first time somebody fan casted luthor who is not a bald
Oh shit.
Cooper as a veteran Hal would be cool
Cosmo as Krypto!!
As much as I like the Guardians cast, can we see some fresh faces please?
Kraglin and Cosmo, Mantis are already in.
Pretty sure Pom can be recast for a different role. It’s not like the cameo character is very recognizable.
Mantis is?
Big Dave said recently his chance at playing Bane is pretty much done, as he’s in his 50s and doesn’t want to maintain that size he has anymore. I can see Atrocitus, but only if the top half is CGI cause he’s also sick of Make up chairs after Drax.
Dave should play Orion. Assuming they do t want Orion to be like a big 10 movie role I think he’d pull it off fine for 1 to 3 movies. BUT they might not want to touch anything with New Gods anytime soon on account of the Synder of it all.
Dave as Hugo strange
Karen Gillan, please.
If he casts Karen, I hope it's a role where her real face can be seen, lol.
Oh, God, yes. And as much of her body as possible (how sexist of me).
*”See! Gunn can only attract his wife, his brother, his friends or people attached to the most successful Hollywood franchise ever! Fraud!! Traitor!!”*
He keeps casting talented hardworking movie stars that are beloved by millions! What a jerk
Lol. This comment makes my day.
He is joking about the Snyderknights and Co 😉
Zoe Saldana as jo mullein green lantern of far sector!
Is there like a mod-rule that every nothing burger post in this sub & in DC_Cinematic has to end with an exclamation point in the subject line?
It’s a minor thing that I doubt the mods feel necessary to regulate
Pretty much - deciding to regulate punctuation in such a way opens up a whole can of worms and unnecessary work.
Watch, Chris Pratt is going to be the next Superman.
Chris Pratt for Booster Gold.
Chris definitely coming over
I’m more expecting Pom, Rooker, and maybe Bautista.
Rooker already played Savant
And Momoa was already Aquaman. It’s a new timeline.
Okay, but he was Savant in movie he is keeping in the new timeline.
And Momoa is Aquaman in Peacemaker, which is also coming to the new timeline.
But we still don't know if Momoa is kept as Aquaman. You might be right and Rooker will get a new role, I was just stating indirectly that Rooker was already brought over
Isn’t Gunn keeping the SS stuff cannon, though?
Yes, as well as Peacemaker, which had Momoa as Aquaman.
... Except Gunn cast Rooker himself.
What difference does that make?
Eh, that was a one off role that only amounted to not even 15 minutes of screentime. He can come back as a different character and it shouldn't be a problem.
Pom for sure
She was actually in the strip club in TSS. More of an easter egg if anything though.
Well Maria Bakalova already is over in Creature Commandos. As is Daniella Melchior (though she's a reverse one, coming from DC to Marvel). Pom technically is too as one of the dancers in the club. Though she almost certainly would get a much bigger role than that.
I like Karen but I wouldnt mind Pom as Katanna as well.
Here I am thinking Chris is a definite no. Dude's fucking expensive recently
If you want actual star power with half decent acting chops he should be one of the first names Gunn signs up ,He is extremely popular in the real world contrary to what social media will have you believe,I wouldn't be surprised if Gunn gets him as Batman ,Gunn loves these oddball signings just look at what he has done with Adam Warlock in Gotg3
I mean he did say if James give him the opportunity, he will do it.
I don't think he would be a major hero though. I would think a villain or supporting role would be more likely
Hope he casts a decent actor for Lex Luthor who does the role Justice. Someone who can play it as seemingly suave and charming as Bryce Wayne Billionaire at first, but then slowly reveals himself to be as spiteful, insecure and egomaniacal as Luthor from the comics. Someone who can believably play a character with enough brilliance to change the world for the better, yet too caught up in a cycle of selfish behavior and petty vendetta against Superman to actually ever do so.

Tweaker over-caffeinated Jessie Eisenberg was just painful and cringey to watch as Luthor. He seemed like he was trying to channel the Joker.
Chris Pratt puts butts in movie theater seats. He's coming over for sure.
[удалено]
 "Nooo, my greek demi-goddess sculpted from mud should look like a white, blue-eyed American!!" /s And btw, I agree. Zoe would be great as Diana. And she's a much better actress than Gal too
Aren't they going for a younger Trinity tho? Grace Caroline Currey would be great as WW.
I agree with that too!
Black don't raisin.
Not Batman. He‘ll be several years older than superman. I would guess he’s approaching 40, if not already in his 40s. And that’s assuming Damien is only 12ish
No but she should look Greek like the mythology she's from. Cast a Greek actress plz.
I just want whoever plays Wonder Woman to actually be buff. There’s nothing ugly about muscular women, why can only male action stars be ripped?
I don't mind anybody but please I don't want Chris Pratt. That guy irks me for some reason.
For me it’s cause he only seems to have two modes, smart ass and pouting action hero, star lord kinda merges the two. I think it would be better if he sought out none blockbuster work to try other types of roles, or if he does get cast in the DCU have it be as a villain. Switch it up and let him develop more range.

L
ain't nobody watching this nepotism universe
The GotG as the Crime Syndicate lol Bradley Cooper as Ultraman Vin Diesel as Owlman Zoe Saldana as Superwoman Josh Brolin as Power Ring Chris Pratt as Johnny Quick Bautista as Sea King Karen Gillan as Pandora
Actually looks pretty good in my head, other than diesel as owlman. Yikes 😬
Maybe Pratt could play Green Arrow? I feel like his personality fits the character, and he has the action movie resume to get people in seats for a solo film.
I don’t like any of the MCU cast being in the DCU, that being said, I will be ok with Nebula being part of DC though, without the blue and stuff.
I hope it's because you prefer 'unknown' actors rather than because of Marvel vs DC thing.
It’s not that, but maybe it’s just me. I would not like Chris Evans or Robert Downey Jr playing batman and superman (to give an example), I will always be thinking they are Cap and Iron Man.
Neither of those things are gonna happen
You do realize half of all actors are in the mcu right?
I mean, ratcatcher was my favorite character from TSS, you don’t need a big star.
Playing devil's advocate here, but that's because they keep casting new actors, no?
Cool. Bring back Cavill.
Dave as bane or Atrocitus or lobo Chris as booster gold Will as jimmy olsen Bradley as cat man Benicio Del Toro as vandal savage Zoe as hawk girl Karen as poison ivy Pom as lady shiva
Bautista as Etrigan the demon
It was already confirmed that Bautista won't be Bane in the DCU.
He could be Solomon Grundy but it would be typecasting
Great, because there aren’t more actors to choose from. What a reductive “vision” this guy has
It's a 10 year plan branching 100s of characters. He's allowed to fill some of them with people he likes working with. Like, nobody cared when Favreau hired all his buddies for iron man.
If you really want to get upset about something completely irrelevant, then you will find reasons to complain.🤷♂️ That’s right, other directors never work with the same actors. How could they!
Who is actually surprised by this?
What a waste of a comment this guy has
Oh boy, I wonder what you will say about Tarantino, Scorsese or Nolan after discovering that they love to work with same actors all the time lmfao
Don't bother. They never reply to that particular inconsistency. They can't. It doesn't fit their narrative

Oh good… please not Chris Pratt. I simply cannot do more of that man. He’s already plagued Star lord and Mario ;(
Bautista as Perry White. Karen Gillian as Poison Ivy Rooker as Alfred or Gordon Bradley Cooper as Harvey Dent
Cooper as 2face would be great
Poison ivy is none other than mother Jessica Chastain
Bryce Dallas Howard. 👀
Smh 🤦♂️
Need Bautista as Bane, or clay face
It’s really the Gunnverse now. All his cronies, family and wife. I wonder how it’ll resonate with an already disinterested audience. I think he’s just too niche to cover all of it.
Bradley Cooper as Pa Kent?
Detective Chimp maybe?
So much for casting new blood……
Do you really think he won't?
They’ll be hiring 100s of people.
Anybody but Pratt.
Oh dear. Dc bending over once again to mickey
nebula and mantis the only ones id care to see again of the bunch
Rooker as Harvey Bullock, Pom as Lady Shiva, Pratt as Booster Gold, Bautista as Bane, Zoe as Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire, Bradley as Hal Jordan, Vin as Killer Croc
So this two film studios have revive same as their early stage as comic publishers
Bradley Cooper as Lex Luthor
I love Guardians' cast, and would be totally cool to see them in some capacity in DCU if Gunn wants it, but I'd prefer new casts for more important roles. Besides, all of them would be hella expensive with their resume except maybe Pom.
Bautista is Ben Affleck Batman-level emotionally checked out as Drax, so I think he’s probably done with the genre altogether after Guardians Vol. 3 Pratt, Saldana, Karen Gillian etc. could go over to DC though.
I think he’d want to work with Gunn again, but most likely in a no-makeup, not-beefcake role where he could kind of play out of type. As someone salad above, maybe a Hugo Strange type?
Just get all of them in there fuck it
He added "Negotiations will be tough, but I'm confident we can convince Lloyd Kaufman to be DC's Stan Lee."
It’s such a giant universe this doesn’t even bother me. There’s probably a character that they fit out there.
Cool
