James Gunn Already Spoke With Actors for Booster Gold

“Think of it basically as a story of a superheroes imposter syndrome,” Gunn told press of Mike Carter, a disgraced college football star from the 25th Century who uses stolen future and alien technology to time-travel to the past to find fame and fortune as the superhero Booster Gold. “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?”

“It’s a character study,” Gunn continued. “That’s going to be a very different type of show. We are talking to an actor about this right now, and I think that’s going to happen.” Who that actor is has yet to be disclosed, but Gunn’s Slither and The Suicide Squad collaborator Nathan Fillion once expressed interest in the role.

Chris Pratt Comments on Playing Booster Gold for James Gunn

“If James thought I was right for it, then you know that I would have to consider it,” Pratt recently told Rolling Stone about possibly playing Booster Gold in Gunn’s rebooted DCU. Gunn has also confirmed that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is “the last time people will see this team of Guardians”: Star-Lord (Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), Groot (Vin Diesel), and Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper).
