James Gunn Would Have Cast Chris Pratt As Superman if Not for This One Problem
DC Studios co-head and superman director James Gunn admits he probably would have considered casting Chris Pratt as the new Man of Steel if it wasn’t for one detail. During an appearance on the podcast armchair expert with dax shepard, Gunn discussed the challenges of finding the right person to play Superman. At one point, it was mentioned that going with a relative unknown might be preferable to casting a more famous star since the audience won’t come in with as much baggage. Gunn responded by saying that as long as the casting is right, the actor’s level of fame doesn’t matter. And if Chris Pratt were younger, he would have been in the running for Kal-El.
If the casting was right, I wouldn’t mind,” Gunn said regarding a famous actor playing Superman. “If Chris Pratt was 10 years younger, then I probably would have considered him for Superman. He’s got that boyish charm…”
Pratt, of course, has extensive history with Gunn, portraying Peter Quill/Star-Lord in the director’s three Guardians of the Galaxy movies and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. While the actor won’t be bringing Superman to life
