Chris Pratt said he spoke to James Gunn about how he “could potentially fit” into the DCU before he was ousted
Chris Pratt said he and James Gunn discussed how Pratt might fit into the DC Universe, but the conversations never led to concrete plans. The possibility arose through their friendship and long working relationship, and Pratt said he would gladly work with Gunn again if asked.
Pratt and Gunn first worked together on 2012’s *Guardians of the Galaxy*, in which Pratt played Peter Quill, or Star-Lord. Pratt said Gunn’s reported departure from DC Studios saddens him, though they have not spoken since the news emerged. The article says former Marvel executive Jeremy Latcham is due to replace Gunn and Peter Safran from 1 December 2026, while the DC Universe’s future remains unclear.
In short
- Pratt and Gunn discussed a possible DCU role, with no plans set.
- Pratt says he would work with Gunn again if asked.
- The DCU’s direction after the leadership change is uncertain.
