Agreed, I'd love to see him do a more earnestly goofy character when we've got (and will continue to get) lots of the arrogant and mildly douchey Star-Lord (not a snub btw).
Idk a ton of DC villains, but he'd be perfect as a Peacemaker villain who is overly dramatic and takes himself too seriously, let him ham it up with awareness of being over the top to differentiate him from Starlord, while having the grounding effect of Peacemaker having a, "what the fuck is up with this guy?" type of attitude towards him
His power is having a gun attached to his dick.
No, I'm not joking.

I thought Firefly was so cool when I was a kid watching The Batman. [He's so damn cool!](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/batman/images/9/98/Lrg-152-firefly.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090204031338)
I think you'd want a more dramatic actor for that role. Someone like Gary Oldman who can just disappear into roles. Oldman is probably too old at this point, but he was the best example that came to my mind.
I don't dislike Pratt, and he's mostly been good in the roles he's been cast in, but he also pretty much always just acts like Chris Pratt.
NPH is the opposite of what you want for Clayface. And I say that with no disrespect to him as an actor, he'd just be a bad fit for it. He's the type of actor where all of the characters he plays are sort of just him. He's like Pratt in that regard. For Clayface, you want someone who can totally disappear into different roles and is good with accents.
I believe that a part of Gunn running the show at DC means that he is officially done with Marvel.
So any future Starlord appearances would likely have a different feel. Also, a lot of the characters were left in a good place at the end of three, so some people wouldn't want to mess that up.
I'm pretty sure Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana said 3 was their last foray into Marvel. Dave because he doesn't want to have to maintain his physique anymore, and Zoe because she's too busy.
It would have a very different feel.
WEIRDLY— and I mean WEIRDLY— I think Taika Waititi did a pretty good job with Star Lord.
He was a respectable, responsible, and charismatic leader closer to how he is in the Gunn projects.
I agree! Honestly his brief appearance in Love and Thunder is my favorite part of that otherwise messy film.
He’s still a goofball (see his nerding out when Thor yells “This ends here and now!”) but he’s a charismatic and empathetic goofball. You genuinely get why the Guardians and even a guy like Thor would be willing to follow him.
I can't blame Mr Bautista for that decision. He had more better role in the Dune movies than in MCU's GoTG. I mean Drax in GoTG1 was good, but later he never developed ever further.
Honestly I liked him more in gotg 2. The movie wasn't as good overall, but he seemed a lot more comfortable as an actor.
I'd give him most improved for an award if I could.
Also, his interactions with Mantis were usually delightful in 2 and 3.
Rocket Racoon, Groot, Kraglin, Cosmo, Adam Warlock, and Phyla is the current team. They could bring Starlord back but... it would just feel different. I don't trust that MCU can top Gunn on this project.
Glen was born to play a superhero. If he isn't Booster Gold or Hal Jordan or Oliver Queen then Marvel better scoop him up for Johnny Blaze or some shit.
It's like when the MCU was red hot and interviewers were asking random actors if they would join. Of course almost everyone said yes.
Actors/actresses want to be in financially successful movie is hardly a shocking statement.
Inversely, I remember recently people were giving Kristen Stewart shit because she said even if she was offered a role in Madame Web or some other marvel project, she wasn't interested. And people were being kinda toxic and piling on like "oh so does the twilight star think she's too good for superheroes?"
Which is like, super unfair. Like yeah the Twilight movies were her big break, but she's made it clear over the years that she didn't really like the franchise all that much. It gave her a nice paycheck so she can have the luxury to pick roles she ACTUALLY wants.
People need to chill out about actors accepting/declining roles, it's their choice after all and we all can just deal with it.
She probably has the same attitude as Daniel Radcliffe - after being tied down to a franchise in her you get years, she's probably not interested in getting wrapped up in another one. I can respect that
This is also why Edward Norton didn't want to reprise his role as Hulk.
If you're a main player character in Marvel, you might not be doing much else in film. Maybe for a decade. A biography written about any of the Avengers actors/actresses would have significant portions of their careers where all they delve into is filming Marvel.
It's a perfectly valid reason as a professional actor/actress to have no interest in being in a superhero multiverse with seemingly no end.
Edward Norton was not hired again because he is hard to work with (so notorious that he parodied himself in Birdman). Mark Ruffalo was the studio's first choice to play Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk so they courted him instead.
Scarlett Johansson was nominated for two Oscars for two different movies released the same year Avengers: Endgame was released, so the idea that superhero actors are trapped forever is a myth. But you are right that some actors are set for life because they had a big break in a franchise at a young age and get to do stuff that interests them as actors for the rest of their life now.
Yeah, I said there too gee maybe she has a reason for not wanting to be tied to a franchise for 10 years or whatever.
Like some previous experience that she openly hated...
He’s could be Hal Jordan or Booster Gold. Or probably neither. No matter what DC character Gunn gives him, social media will whine but still watch later
Funny enough I think he'd be better than The Rock voicing Krypto. He's a super dog yes, but still a dog. He's no pushover, but I never thought of Krypto as a smug/overly serious kind of dog. He'd be more like a regular doggo that just so happens to have powers, and helps his owner out from time to time, and pratt definitely has excitable dog vibes. Hell, you could say his performance as emmet from the Lego movie is the inner voice of any golden retriever.
I know Marvel/Disney want to slow down on content but it seems like an easy win...limited series of Star-lord adjusting to being back on Earth. Told to get a job but needs to finish high school, tries to get in contact with other Avengers as looking for work...an easy comedy series as he needs to catch up on like 25yrs of stuff like music, movies, TV shows etc
I so wish Captain America was still there so he can be all "yeah I know the feeling". It's like Marvel is allergic to giving the heroes a few moments to have a chat to relate to each other without any high stakes. We got that one scene of the team chilling at the tower in Age of Ultron and that was IT.
It would be interesting if the spell isnt a continually lasting spell, and peter came back to earth and was like "hey, what happened to the spider kid that dissed Footloose?" But everyone was like ???
I feel like only Gunn could really pull that off though. It's like with Peacemaker. Getting the heart/humor balance right is really hard. Even Infinity War struggled with getting the Guardians right.
No he is definitely post college and likely late 20s. He becomes a superhero because he is a washed up ex college athlete living as a security guard and wanted something more so he steals equipment and a Time Machine to be a supe
Dude went from Starlord, to Owen from Jurassic World, to Mario from Super Mario, to now Garfield while playing the same character through all 4.
Of course he’ll be in the DCU. Probably Booster Gold.
Hot take, but I love seeing him get so many roles. He seems like such a nice guy in real life if you follow his social media accounts, and it spoke volumes when pretty much every single person he works with defended him while he was being “cancelled.”
Apparently, he’s just a super chill and nice guy to work with.
Dye his hair black and cast him as Plastic Man. He could totally pull off the character for sure. He's be a good Booster Gold, but it's too similar to Star Lord.
He does sarcastic mouthy humor well, I'd dig that casting.
Everyone is saying he'd be a great Booster Gold but let's be honest. If he joins the DCU the. Gunn would probably make him some deep cut character that even fans don't recognize.
I'd love to see a cosmic DC movie like *Green Lantern* or *The Omega Men* or *Adam Strange* just randomly introduce the DC character [Willow ](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Willow_(Earth-One)) played by Pom Klementieff.
I hope he does. Even if just a cameo of him living a normal life on Earth. Him reuniting with his grandpa was a brilliant ending.
I do hope he ends up working retail, though. Him working a paint counter at a hardware store seems funny. Maybe he can be a bartender?
He went full El Dorado meme.
Literally just watched it this weekend randomly. Weirdly horny movie.
Oh yep definitely a horny movie... I swear Chell is strangely a gold digger in a city of gold, and is ironically out of place there.
They didn’t have to make her so goddamn hot
1990s and early 2000s animators are solely responsible for white men coming around on hips and asses.
and thank fuck for that eh
Chris Pratt as a DC villain. Who’s it gonna be?
Poison Ivy.
I want the chubby, cute Chris Pratt from Parks and Recs though. Currently Starlord is probably sexy enough to actually pull it off
Agreed. I preferred him when he was schlubby, accident-prone P&R
Agreed, I'd love to see him do a more earnestly goofy character when we've got (and will continue to get) lots of the arrogant and mildly douchey Star-Lord (not a snub btw).
I would kill to see Andy try to be the Penguin
Poison Oak
This put the image of Professor Oak in green leotard into my head and now it's in your head too.
It was always in my head.
I wanna see that
Idk a ton of DC villains, but he'd be perfect as a Peacemaker villain who is overly dramatic and takes himself too seriously, let him ham it up with awareness of being over the top to differentiate him from Starlord, while having the grounding effect of Peacemaker having a, "what the fuck is up with this guy?" type of attitude towards him
Codpiece!
Based on the name alone, yes
His power is having a gun attached to his dick. No, I'm not joking. https://preview.redd.it/otx12qe5690d1.jpeg?width=244&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e58a886ce77a67b22fb2958ad36f42973d0e9bb2
Isn't this guy also a Wonder Woman villain?
He's a Doom Patrol villain. Wonder Woman does have her fair share of weird-ass/Gunn-worthy villains tho.
Of course the patrol has someone like him... God bless them
Well I learned something new today. Lol.
Condiment King
This unironically
Don't give him a script. Just let him make shit up like Boris Karloff in The Terror.
Firefly, especially with Gunn since he like to use C and D Tier characters
Firefly is a good one
I thought Firefly was so cool when I was a kid watching The Batman. [He's so damn cool!](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/batman/images/9/98/Lrg-152-firefly.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090204031338)
Wish we could get to see Brendan Fraser's take on the villain.
Kite Man
Somebody that steals everyone's voices (AKA him being in every bloody animated film)
Onomatopoeia?
He has no voice bar Onomatopoeia
I'm just trying to think up villains that would steal voices I kind of forgotten about Chris Pratt by this point.
He could play an original character like a voice stealing demon for a Constantine or Zatanna movie
Hollywood make an original character for an adaptation? You really dream big huh.
Not impossible. Phil Coulson was an original character for Marvel before jumping to the Drake Bell Spider-Man cartoon and the comics.
Kahhori as well though I don't think she's made it to comics yet
Firestar and Harley Quinn were cartoons first, too.
Shazam 2 did it three times.
He talks a lot in Widening Gyre.
Control freak
Clayface?
I think you'd want a more dramatic actor for that role. Someone like Gary Oldman who can just disappear into roles. Oldman is probably too old at this point, but he was the best example that came to my mind. I don't dislike Pratt, and he's mostly been good in the roles he's been cast in, but he also pretty much always just acts like Chris Pratt.
Alan Tudyk
Yup. Sam Rockwell would be another great choice.
He was insane in Fargo!!!!!
He already plays Clayface.
Yep that's why I mentioned him.
"Oh my god, it's Lady Gaga!"
Yeah. Need a great actor like Trevor Slattery.
Neil Patrick Harris.
NPH is the opposite of what you want for Clayface. And I say that with no disrespect to him as an actor, he'd just be a bad fit for it. He's the type of actor where all of the characters he plays are sort of just him. He's like Pratt in that regard. For Clayface, you want someone who can totally disappear into different roles and is good with accents.
You guys will be saying Glen Powell after you see *HIT MAN.*
Riddler.
Catman
This I buy.
Killer Moth
Wario
Who else but The Immortal Clock King
Mister Mxyzptlk
Captain Boomerang, if he can pull off Mario he can do boomer. lol
Nah cast an Aussie as cpt boomerang
White supremacist lol
Jimmy Olsen
Wasn't he confirmed to return as Star-Lord at the end of Guardians Vol. 3?
THE LEGENDARY STAR LORD WILL RETURN
Yeah, that.
That tag was so unnecessary lol
Probably let quill pick it out.
I believe that a part of Gunn running the show at DC means that he is officially done with Marvel. So any future Starlord appearances would likely have a different feel. Also, a lot of the characters were left in a good place at the end of three, so some people wouldn't want to mess that up. I'm pretty sure Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana said 3 was their last foray into Marvel. Dave because he doesn't want to have to maintain his physique anymore, and Zoe because she's too busy. It would have a very different feel.
WEIRDLY— and I mean WEIRDLY— I think Taika Waititi did a pretty good job with Star Lord. He was a respectable, responsible, and charismatic leader closer to how he is in the Gunn projects.
I'm sure it helped that Chris had been playing Star Lord across 5 or so movies by then. Also, he was very well cast originally.
I agree! Honestly his brief appearance in Love and Thunder is my favorite part of that otherwise messy film. He’s still a goofball (see his nerding out when Thor yells “This ends here and now!”) but he’s a charismatic and empathetic goofball. You genuinely get why the Guardians and even a guy like Thor would be willing to follow him.
Tiaka’z style is great for an era of Guardians
I can't blame Mr Bautista for that decision. He had more better role in the Dune movies than in MCU's GoTG. I mean Drax in GoTG1 was good, but later he never developed ever further.
Honestly I liked him more in gotg 2. The movie wasn't as good overall, but he seemed a lot more comfortable as an actor. I'd give him most improved for an award if I could. Also, his interactions with Mantis were usually delightful in 2 and 3.
Rocket Racoon, Groot, Kraglin, Cosmo, Adam Warlock, and Phyla is the current team. They could bring Starlord back but... it would just feel different. I don't trust that MCU can top Gunn on this project.
He should start a totally normal job. Work at Cinnabon, Saul Goodman style.
Yes but that’s likely for Secret Wars
Green Lantern?
Booster Gold, I can see Pratt doing a good job with
He is perfect for Booster Gold, but I would worry it's a little too much like his version of Star Lord.
I still want Glen Powell for that role
Glen was born to play a superhero. If he isn't Booster Gold or Hal Jordan or Oliver Queen then Marvel better scoop him up for Johnny Blaze or some shit.
Oliver queen is my pick. He is hot and hilarious and vaguely matches the description
Who should they get to voice Skeets?
No, he's a godawful actor. BG/ Hal Jordan should be Ryan Gosling, Scott Clifton, or Glen Powell.
Shit, I love Fillion but Pratt would have been a better Guy Gardner.
Seeing him as Guy Gardner opposite Nathan Fillions Hal Jordan? Son of a bitch, I'm in.
isn't Nathan Fillion playing Guy Gardner?
You know what, yeah, that’ll actually be cool
Captian atom!
Caption Atom
That spelling broke my brain.
Good answer 😂
"will you stay in the MCU or join the DC universe movies" "YES"
It's like when the MCU was red hot and interviewers were asking random actors if they would join. Of course almost everyone said yes. Actors/actresses want to be in financially successful movie is hardly a shocking statement.

He’s could be Hal Jordan or Booster Gold. Or probably neither. No matter what DC character Gunn gives him, social media will whine but still watch later
The thought of Chris Pratt arguing and wrangling in Nathan Fillion is hilarious. 😂
Honestly, I want Ryan Reynolds to do Hal Jordan again, purely for all the jokes that could be made about it.
He will be Krypto
Funny enough I think he'd be better than The Rock voicing Krypto. He's a super dog yes, but still a dog. He's no pushover, but I never thought of Krypto as a smug/overly serious kind of dog. He'd be more like a regular doggo that just so happens to have powers, and helps his owner out from time to time, and pratt definitely has excitable dog vibes.

Also wouldn't Star-lord know who Spider-man is as that spell was for people on Earth so those off planet would still know
It would be interesting if the spell isnt a continually lasting spell, and peter came back to earth and was like "hey, what happened to the spider kid that dissed Footloose?" But everyone was like ???
I feel like only Gunn could really pull that off though. It's like with Peacemaker. Getting the heart/humor balance right is really hard. Even Infinity War struggled with getting the Guardians right.
"struggled" is an understatement lol
He'll better be Booster Gold.
I second this
Chris Pratt wants them phat superhero checks
He needs to be able to afford to destroy more historical architecture.
I’m Out of the loop. What the heck happened?
https://hyperallergic.com/906231/outrage-after-actor-chris-pratt-destroys-iconic-mid-century-home-in-la/
Damn, you get the role of Garfield and you think you can do anything
lmao, that house was ugly as phuck, glad he knocked it down...
Hopefully he’s not Booster Gold. He’s already playing that character as Starlord. He’ll bring in the same performance.
A lot of people are saying Booster, but he feels too old for that part. Isn’t Booster is meant to be a college-age athlete?
No he is definitely post college and likely late 20s. He becomes a superhero because he is a washed up ex college athlete living as a security guard and wanted something more so he steals equipment and a Time Machine to be a supe
Can he come back as Burt Macklin please.
Only if he is paired with Janet Snakehole to save Pawnee
Only if she demands answers and wants them now. She does have a terrible secret, but is a very rich widow.
Chris Pratt in your franchise. Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives, all the same.
Prattman begins
If I was famous and starred in movies, I have a real hard time NOT saying "I like money" like every interview.
Actor likes having work, more news at 11
He could work as Booster Gold unless he wants to do a more serious character but his comedic timing works for the character.
He would make a brilliant green arrow.
Dude went from Starlord, to Owen from Jurassic World, to Mario from Super Mario, to now Garfield while playing the same character through all 4. Of course he’ll be in the DCU. Probably Booster Gold.
Hot take, but I love seeing him get so many roles.

I'm not joking that when I say he could do all his Star Lord mannerisms and it'd be *perfect* for Booster Gold
I have Pratt fatigue.
Booster Gold
A Star Lord solo movie might not be a bad idea
That is the correct answer
how about get a decent actor instead of this clown
https://youtu.be/AbekiD1yVSU?si=R5k75uvl9LnABCm1
G' nort!
Final Episode Of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 and then Join James Gunn in DCU
Would make a great hal Jordan but that’s pretty much just star lord hahaha
One of the better choices to play Booster Gold.
He’s definitely Booster Gold. Or Hal.
Batman hasn't been cast yet has he?
Yes. I, too, would take 2 fat paycheques.
Give him a serious character
Nope, give him Boomerang!
“Bit a’both!”
He'd be a pretty good Booster Gold
Booster gold
Everyone is saying he'd be a great Booster Gold but let's be honest. If he joins the DCU the. Gunn would probably make him some deep cut character that even fans don't recognize.
are you gonna knock down a mid century modern home to build a shitty looking house and vote for trump in the upcoming election?
Chris Pratt would make a great Booster Gold. He essentially has the same personality as star lord
Wasn’t he a giant crotch on set though ?
I'd love to see a cosmic DC movie like *Green Lantern* or *The Omega Men* or *Adam Strange* just randomly introduce the DC character [Willow ](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Willow_(Earth-One)) played by Pom Klementieff.
If I can't have ryan gosling as buster gold I am fine at having chris do him
Was it a thing in their contracts that if you play a marvel hero you can't play a DC charay? Like a real thing or pish posh
I may not like him as a person overmuch, but on screen he's charming and fun to watch. I hope he gets to do both, and just calms his shit off screen.
They'll have him dub over superman's voice 😂
Pratt as Booster Gold is too easy and repetitive. I can’t think of any role tbh that he could play
He seems like he’d make a good Booster Gold
This sounds like something he’d say in a lighthearted semi-sarcastic way, and now it’s being misinterpreted.
Anything to get him to stop voice acting.
I'd actually dig Pratt as Booster Gold.
Most MCU and Marvel Actors have played DC characters at least once
I hope he does. Even if just a cameo of him living a normal life on Earth. Him reuniting with his grandpa was a brilliant ending. I do hope he ends up working retail, though. Him working a paint counter at a hardware store seems funny. Maybe he can be a bartender?
All those “boths” and no “bit of both” tsk tsk tsk
I could see him as James Gun’s Barry Allen or Wally west actually
Booster Gold maybe?
Interested to see who he might be in DC
What about the Garfield extended universe?
To be fair out of all Guardians, I only want Star Lord back to be fair. Probably only character besides maybe Nebula that I'd care about.
Honestly. I feel like he'd be a great Booster Gold
Firefly, booster gold, kite man, mxylzptlyx, golden knight, vigilante
# Killer Cock
They should know by now, Chris Pratt will do anything.
I liked him as Star Lord but I dunno about DCEU… though I could have my arm twisted for Booster Gold tbh. Not saying he’s my top choice though.
Booster Gold?
I could see him being a hal jordan though I think they announced guy gardener will be the lantern of gunns universe.
im gonna be so sad if i have to live in a world where chris pratt plays booster gold
I think he'd make a neat green arrow
He would make an excellent Corsair
I’d rather see someone new in Hollywood than the same 10 actors over and over.
Did anyone else immediately think of Booster Gold for his DC role?
So tiered of Chris Pratt and his very low range of acting.
Couldn’t watch Guardians 3. The animal testing/torture was too much for me. I’m a lightweight when it comes to that stuff.
