In a new interview with ComicBook, Chris Pratt was asked about James Gunn stepping down as co-CEO of DC Studios, and whether or not there had been any progress on having him join the DC Universe. The Guardians of the Galaxy veteran stated, "Yeah, I mean, wow, you’re right, that was big news. I was actually able to talk to him yesterday, and I will say, as great as he was in that role, ultimately he’s a writer and he’s a director, and he’s a movie maker, and so I think some of that the executive functions, there were certain aspects of that job that I feel like he probably didn’t like as much as just going and making his own movies. He’s an auteur, writer, director, and so I’m excited to see where he goes next, and, eager obviously to collaborate with him. Every time I talk to him, I’m always kind of hoping that there’s something that he and I could do together. When he was at DC, I was always, of course, looking through DC material to see if there’s anything that would be right for me. And we had a few conversations about that – but there was nothing concrete that I’m disheartened that we won’t be able to do. Because ultimately whatever stories I end up telling with James – and I hope that there are some– it’s gonna be about my relationship with James and the characters we bring, and we can find, a material anywhere to do that, I think."
