What Roles Chris Pratt Could Play In The DC Universe
The Actor Is A Great Fit For A Few DC Heroes
Pratt is known for his comedic timing. The actor was one of the standouts inParks and Recreation, continuing that hilarious performance with his tenure as Star-Lord in the MCU. The Marvel role allowed Pratt to not only show his comedic talents on the biggest stage possible but also cement himself as an action hero. Pratt’s roles in projects like theJurassic Worldfranchise,The Tomorrow War,The Terminal List, and more show that he is a bankable action star.
The DCU could make the best of both worlds and cast him in the role Pratt is one of the fan-favorites for: Booster Gold. The superhero comes from the future and is known for his comedic nature. Booster has a huge ego, but he uses his humor and self-promotion as a hero in the past to hide the trauma he went through. Trying to help his absent dad, Booster Gold ended up throwing a promising football career away and was left with nothing. Pratt could excel as the funny and tragic sides of Booster Gold.
Pratt would also make for an excellent Green Arrow. The actor has the charm and comedic skills needed to bring Oliver Queen to life. The MCU star could play a Green Arrow that is closer to the comics than Stephen Amell’s overtly dark take on the character fromArrow. Another DCU hero Pratt could play is the Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Pratt has shown in roles like Owen Grady in theJurassic Worldmovies that he has the suave attitude and confidence of Hal Jordan. With Gunn’s desire,Chris Prattis likely set to join the DCU in the future.
