James Gunn and his DC Studios associate Peter Safran have revealed their preliminary slate of DCU initiatives and, maybe unsurprisingly, they’re going for a near-total reboot of what got here earlier than. We’re getting a brand new Superman, a brand new Batman, and the whole lot shifting ahead will share a multiverse. Nonetheless, some characters and parts might be carried over. Once more, not surprisingly, a lot of these will come from Gunn’s work, notably “The Suicide Squad” and “Peacemaker.”
Bearing that in thoughts, there are a number of actors from the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films who’re already within the DCU. We’ve Jennifer Holland, who performed Emilia Harcourt in each “The Suicide Squad” and “Peacemaker,” who additionally had a small position in “Vol. 3.” Then we have now Chukwudi Iwuji, who performed Clemson Murn in “Peacemaker” in addition to the Excessive Evolutionary in “Vol. 3.” There’s additionally Gunn’s brother Sean Gunn, who appeared briefly as Calendar Man in “The Suicide Squad,” along with enjoying Weasel. He is already been confirmed to return as Weasel within the “Creature Commandos” animated collection, in order that’s that. Lastly, Maria Bakalova might be becoming a member of the DCU as Ilana Rostovic in “Creature Commandos” as properly, having beforehand voiced Cosmo in “Vol. 3.”
Fairly crucially, James Gunn has confirmed that the intention is to have the identical actors play the identical characters throughout all mediums within the DCU. So Bakalova will play Ilana first in animation, however possible in live-action as properly, if that character ever makes the soar. As for Emilia and Clemson? It is somewhat robust to think about the necessity for them in a “Superman” film, however Emilia having a small position would not in any respect be out of the query. (Sorry Weasel followers, however that character in all probability has no enterprise crossing paths with the Man of Metal.)
