4. Chris Pratt as Plastic Man

When it comes to the wacky and zany world of Plastic Man, it’s hard not to imagine Chris Pratt bringing his unique brand of humor and charm to the character. First created in 1941, Plastic Man has always been one of DC Comics’ more lighthearted heroes. With the ability to stretch and contort his body into any shape imaginable, he is known for his wisecracks and zany antics. He’s a character that doesn’t take himself too seriously, and that’s exactly the kind of energy that Pratt brings to the table.

In recent years, Plastic Man has had a resurgence in popularity thanks to a series of critically acclaimed comics by Gail Simone and Kyle Baker. These comics have leaned into the character’s more off-beat, irreverent nature, and it’s easy to see how Pratt could bring that same energy to a live-action adaptation.

And with James Gunn at the helm, a Plastic Man series could be the perfect opportunity to explore a different side of the DC Universe. Look no further tan what he did with Peacemaker. Imagine how fun a Plastic Man series could be. Pratt would be the perfect actor to bring the character to life.

With his comedic timing and ability to play both drama and comedy, Pratt could give Plastic Man the perfect balance of humor and heart. In the words of Plastic Man himself, “I can stretch my body into any shape… except humility.”
