2. Chris Pratt as Metallo

Fans of the Chris Pratt have yet to see him take on a truly dark and complex role. That could all change if Pratt joins the DC Universe as the iconic villain Metallo.

For those unfamiliar, Metallo is a cyborg with a Kryptonite heart, giving him immense strength and the ability to go toe-to-toe with Superman. He is also a tragic figure, driven by a need for revenge and a desperate desire to be human again.

Playing Metallo would give Pratt the opportunity to stretch his acting chops and showcase a different side of his talent. He would have to convey the character’s intense pain and anger, while also making audiences sympathize with his plight. It would be a challenging role, but one that Pratt is more than capable of handling.

Many fans have already taken to social media to express their excitement at the prospect of Pratt playing Metallo. He would be amazing. He could bring the perfect balance of charm and menace to the character.

We know that James Gunn is currently working on a script for a new Superman movie, and Metallo is a perfect villain for Superman to fight. Pratt could bring a new level of depth and complexity to the role, making it one of the most memorable performances in the DC Universe.

DC fans will have to wait and see if Pratt will be joining the universe and if he will be playing Metallo, but one thing is for sure, it would make for an exciting and dynamic addition to the franchise.
