Seann William Scott wants to play Booster Gold
In a recent chat with ComicBook.com, the comedic genius Seann William Scott revealed that he would like to do a superhero movie next to test his acting prowess. The actor has time and again proved his capabilities and thus wants to explore further exciting options. He said,
“I definitely would. I’d love to. I think it’d be fun to do a comic book movie. I think the first character that came to mind was — Booster Gold could be very fun, but I think I’m too old for it…”
The actor Glen Powell is in talks for the role and expressed his interest in playing the character fairly recently. Scott then further added,
“I don’t know if he’s supposed to be younger, but that character, I was like ‘That I could.’ I just don’t remember his age, but it was like ‘That’s a great character.’ Come on, James Gunn! Let’s go!”
Scott also is eager to work with the director James Gunn and stated a James Gunn superhero project is just the thing he needs at this point in his career.
James Gunn has big plans for Booster Gold
In 1986, Dan Jurgens created this character in Booster Gold #1, and it has since gone on to become a full-fledged member of the Justice League. Michael Jon Carter, who is also known as Supernova, Waverider, and Gold Star is now set to become a household name thanks to DC. In the January presentation of DCU where it shared its plans for its new phase, James Gunn revealed his intentions with the character,
“Think of it basically as a story of a superhero’s imposter syndrome. And how do you deal with that? How does he try to use this future technology to be loved by people today? And what is really the base of that and it’s a character study.”
Gunn confided that he will be required to give extra care and attention to a character such as Booster Gold. The unique story of the superhero will certainly turn into a massive success. He said,
“That’s going to be a very different type of show, and we are talking to an actor about this right now, and I think that’s going to happen.”
Although no details are yet confirmed, Gunn, and the actors including Seann William Scott, Glen Powell, and Chris Pratt all are excited to work on the project. Fans on the other hand are equally excited to see what the DCU has in store for them.
