With the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn’s time at the Marvel Cinematic Universe has officially ended. Aside from Gunn, the stars Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista have also confirmed their retirement from the franchise, while some other stars could potentially still reprise their roles in future MCU projects or maybe even join DCU, which James Gunn will start in 2025 with his next movie — Superman: Legacy.

It’s known that James Gunn likes to work with more or less the same actors with whom he has good working experience. Many directors have that habit, but it’s even more interesting with Gunn since he’s the director who worked on multiple Marvel and multiple DC projects in his career. That created theories and speculations among the fans that Gunn could potentially bring some MCU actors he worked with to DC Universe.

Bradley Cooper, acclaimed actor, and director, joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the voice role of Rocket Raccoon in the original Guardians of the Galaxy movie in 2014. Cooper reprised the role in 2017’s Volume 2 and the recently released Volume 3, along with 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder, and 2022’s The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.

Will Bradley Cooper eventually join DCU?

At the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 premiere event, when he was asked by Entertainment Tonight about potentially working with Gunn on DCU in the future, Cooper replied: “I go wherever James [Gunn] tells me.” Judging by his answer, Bradley Cooper wouldn’t have anything against joining DCU if Gunn would call him and tell him that he has a perfect role for him.

Cooper also took the opportunity to praise Peacemaker, a spin-off series that Gunn developed after he finished his work on The Suicide Squad, in which John Cena debuted as Peacemaker. Cooper also praised Cena’s performance in the series. Peacemaker is set to return for the second season, although Gunn announced that he wouldn’t start the second season’s production before finishing his Superman: Legacy work. One thing is for sure, James Gunn will offer us a lot of superhero content in the coming years, and maybe we will watch (or hear) Bradley Cooper in some of those upcoming projects.

James Gunn turned in the script for Superman: Legacy last week, and it’s expected that the main actor for the movie will be revealed this summer. Gunn is also writing Creature Commandos, a seven-episode animated series that is set to premiere on Max next year. Apart from Peacemaker Season 2, he’s also working on the spin-off series Waller, with Viola Davis set to reprise the title role.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, written and directed by James Gunn, now plays in theaters worldwide. Superman: Legacy is set to be released on July 11, 2025.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
