Especially as Gunn already mentioned that many actors from his Guardians of the Galaxy franchise will possibly be joining him in DC.

As fans know, the Guardians of the Galaxy star shares a close friendship with the director, so his response to him joining Gunn in his DC endeavors is no surprise. Talking to CBR, he mentioned,
“I haven’t spoken to James Gunn in any capacity to where he’s offered me anything like that. But listen, I love the guy. You know, he’s one of my best friends. I totally believe in him. And if he calls me, I am answering.”
His witty response and further addition that when it comes to him portraying DC characters, he will let fans choose for him, seems to have sparked a thrill among fans and sent them wondering what character would suit him best. The fan favorite seems to be Justice League’s Booster Gold at the moment, with many claiming that Chris Pratt was born to play Booster Gold. As the actor neither confirmed nor denied anything specifically, it is hard to tell if he indeed will become DC’s Booster Gold.

With speculations of him joining his friend James Gunn on his Justice League adventures, fans are also wondering if this is the last they will see of Peter Quill. Although it is not confirmed yet, it seems highly possible as Gunn already hinted at a major character death in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3.

It will be interesting to see if said character is indeed Pratt’s Peter Quill as more details about the movie come to light.
Still, fans are excited to see him as a Justice League character, as Booster Gold to Hal Jordan, the possibilities are endless for him. Moreover, it will give him a chance to present himself in an entirely new Justice League persona, completely different from his Marvel one.
Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 is all set for a theatrical release on May 5th, 2023.
