James Gunn claims Pom Klementieff won’t be in Superman, but that doesn’t mean the actress has no place in his new DCU.
The pair began working together in 2017 for the MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. They started a close working relationship that has seen Mantis become a massive part of Marvel and the Guardians of the Galaxy stories.
With that connection, Pom Klementieff reveals there’s been talk about setting a date and time for her DC debut. While appearing at San Antonio’s Superhero Comic Con, she said she’s “been talking” to DC Studios co-CEO about a role in the brand.
Agents of Fandom report she shut down any conversation when asked who she’ll play, with Klementieff responding, “Do you really think I’m going to answer this question? I just want to keep working with James, so we’re going to keep trying to find ways to do that. Yes, we’ve been talking about one specific character, but I can’t talk about that right now.”
Who do you think the actress could play in the new DC Universe? As we await that news, James Gunn is busy at work with Superman, the feature film premiere of the latest DC Studios era.
Superman tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
Superman stars David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern/Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, María Gabriela De Faría as The Engineer, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe and Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell as Jonathan and Martha Kent.
Superman will be released on July 11th, 2025.
