Following his recent visit to the set of ‘Superman: Legacy’ to meet with director James Gunn, actor Chris Pratt mentioned that “there’s always a chance” he could join the DCU, though he remained mum on which character he’d like to portray, according to Deadline.

“I just have to leave that to the fans and people like James to decide,” Pratt shared in an interview. “I’m not exactly sure. I’m truly not sure,” he added.

When directly asked if he would join the competing franchise, Pratt was unequivocal, stating, “Yes, of course.”

“If it could fit into my schedule and it made sense, I would love it,” he elaborated. “Of course, I love playing Star-Lord, and hopefully there’s a chance that can come back. I just feel so blessed to be able to do any of it, to be considered for any of it. If it’s right and the fans would love it, I’d be more than happy to do it.”

These remarks came after Gunn posted a photo of Pratt on the ‘Superman: Legacy‘ set earlier this month, captioning it, “Always nice to have friends visiting set.”

Pratt has previously starred in the MCU as Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord) in Gunn’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ (2014), and they reunited for the sequels in 2017 and 2023, as well as for ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ (2018) and ‘Endgame’ (2019).

Since taking the helm at DC Studios alongside Peter Safran in 2022, Gunn has been diligently working on ‘Superman: Legacy’, set to kick off a new DC Multiverse. The cast includes David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen.

After expressing his openness to casting MCU actors in his future DCU projects, Gunn noted that a crossover between the two comic book universes is “more likely now that I’m in charge,” but added, “That’s many years away, though. I think we have to establish what we’re doing at DC first. I would be lying to say that we haven’t discussed it. But all discussions have been very, very light and fun,” Deadline reported.
