James Gunn has shared insights on Bradley Cooper’s part in the DC Universe and hinted at the possibility of the actor portraying Jor-El in future productions.

What did Gunn say about Bradley Cooper’s DCU role?

In a recent conversation with Extra, director James Gunn discussed the possibility of involving Chris Pratt, a previous Guardians of the Galaxy cast member, in Superman as Jor-El, Superman’s father. Gunn explained that Pratt was extending a kindness by taking on this role, and his scenes predominantly involve appearing as a hologram delivering a speech to Superman.

When inquired about the chance of Cooper reappearing, Gunn jokingly suggested “who knows,” pointing out there might be a possibility he’ll show up once more.

The first movie from DC Studios featuring Superman is set to fly into cinemas globally this summer, brought to you by Warner Bros. Pictures. As per the usual style of James Gunn, he reinvents the classic superhero in a fresh take of the DC universe. The action, humor, and emotion are skillfully combined to create a Superman who is motivated by kindness and faith in humanity’s goodness,” the official synopsis states.

Among David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Isabela Merced, Superman’s cast includes Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, and Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe.
