Chris Pratt Says He's Down for Marvel to DC Universe Switcheroo | TMZ Live
We caught up with Pratt Thursday in L.A., and he says he's cool with any DCU role James thinks fits him -- especially since 'Superman' is off the table with actor David Corenswet swinging into action for the iconic role.

00:00We got a big scoop from Chris Pratt, I think.
00:03I think.
00:04You're about to see this.
00:04I think we did.
00:05There is a photo that was posted by director James
00:09Gunn that has a lot of people in Hollywood talking
00:12because he's on the set of the new Superman movie.
00:15James Gunn, of course, directed.
00:17And Chris Pratt is sitting behind him on the set.
00:20Chris Pratt and James Gunn worked together
00:22on the Marvel movies, Guardians of the Galaxy.
00:25Now James Gunn has moved over to DC, to Warner and DC.
00:29So why is Chris Pratt in DC territory?
00:33What is he doing over there?
00:34That's a big deal, you would think.
00:37But you got to get to the bottom of it.
00:38Well, you know, did we get James Gunn?
00:41We did not get James Gunn.
00:42Oh, so we got.
00:43But we got Chris Pratt.
00:46Our photog Mel got Chris out in Brentwood.
00:52And he was very talkative.
00:55James Gunn posted a photo of you on the Superman set.
00:58And now fans are going wild thinking that you
01:00might cross over into the DCU.
01:04Any chance that'll happen?
01:05Well, there's always a chance.
01:07But of course, I wouldn't be able to spoil it
01:09here on the sidewalk with you.
01:10Well, I mean, you could if you wanted to.
01:12I suppose you're right, I could.
01:13But I better not.
01:14I better not.
01:15Can I ask, if there was a role that you
01:16could do in the DCU, which one would you do?
01:19Man, I just have to leave that to the fans
01:22and to people like James to decide.
01:24I'm not exactly sure.
01:25I'm truly not sure.
01:26But totally open for it?
01:28Yes, of course.
01:29I love it.
01:30If it could fit into my schedule and it made sense,
01:33and then I would love it.
01:35Of course, I love playing Star-Lord.
01:37And so hopefully there's a chance that can come back.
01:40Yeah.
01:41You know, I just feel so blessed to be able to do any of it,
01:43to be considered for any of it.
01:44And I'm, if it's right and the fans would love it,
01:47then I'd be more than happy to do it.
01:49Oh, he's definitely doing it.
01:50If he wasn't, he would have just said no.
01:52Because if he was just on set just visiting James Gunn,
01:54that makes sense.
01:55Like you said, they did Guardians.
01:56They're friends.
01:57He didn't say that.
01:58He said, I can't spoil it, which means
01:59there's something to spoil, which means he is.
02:01And also, Eric, I took something from how long he stopped to,
02:06and Mel's gotten him out before.
02:08But he was very talkative.
02:10He was super talkative.
02:10And to me, that means that there's something going on here.
02:14And he wants to slowly promote it.
02:17He's excited.
02:18You can see how excited he is.
02:19He wants to talk about it.
02:20I'm sure he can't yet.
02:21Yeah, they're building up hype ahead of time.
02:23And this would be a huge deal.
02:24There's been actors who've done Marvel and DC.
02:27Lawrence Fishburne did it.
02:27Zachary Levi did it.
02:28But they were in smaller roles in certain movies.
02:31Like, Zachary Levi was barely in a Marvel movie.
02:33But Chris Pratt's one of the main faces of the MCU.
02:36So if he went to DC, that would be a big deal.
02:38So is that, because to me, it's like Disney is Marvel, right?
02:42It's Marvel, yeah.
02:43And so jumping ship like that is kind of a big thing, right?
02:47It would seem like they would be upset about it.
02:48And they're still playing Star, the last Guardians movie,
02:50at the end of it, they said Star-Lord will return.
02:52So it seems like he's not done with Marvel yet.
02:54The thing is, that's between the companies.
02:56Fans don't care.
02:56They like him as Star-Lord.
02:58I'm sure he'd be good in Superman.
02:59Fans would be happy with both.
03:00But wait, there's more.
03:01Because Chris is married to Katherine Schwarzenegger,
03:05who is Arnold's daughter.
03:06So Arnold is Chris's father-in-law.
03:09So now the question, what about the two of them?
03:11People would lose their minds if you did a film with Arnold.
03:15Has that come up?
03:16Have you guys talked about that?
03:18Oh, man.
03:19That would be pretty great, wouldn't it?
03:20Yeah.
03:21Do you think people would lose their minds?
03:23Come, are you joking?
03:24Wow.
03:25If you did a Terminator with him?
03:27Great.
03:28OK, I'm in.
03:29Do you have a favorite movie of Arnold's?
03:31Man, so I mean, I know that they're
03:35remaking The Running Man.
03:36That's going to be really with Glenn Powell.
03:37I'm really excited for that.
03:38That's a fantastic movie.
03:40I love The Running Man.
03:41It might be one of my favorites.
03:42Of course, Predator, the OG Predator movie,
03:47that's pretty good.
03:48Oh, he's rebuilt with you?
03:49Kindergarten Cop's amazing.
03:51You know, he's kind of, you kind of can't miss.
03:53That is so cool.
03:54OK, here's what I got from that.
03:56He and Arnold have not had a conversation about him,
03:59about doing a movie together.
04:00Arnold would do it.
04:01Arnold would do it.
04:02I just think they haven't had the conversation,
04:03not for any reason.
04:05But he was, again, he was all in.
04:07He's like, really?
04:08OK, let's talk about that.
04:10He's definitely doing the DC thing.
04:12He seems like such a cool guy.
04:13He really does.
04:25And I think his fans are going to fully support it.
04:28Who knows, maybe someday he'll even be Batman.
04:30Well, everybody else has tried it, so sure, why not?
04:34Why not?
