Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn has confirmed that at least three DC actors will be appearing in the Marvel franchise’s upcoming third installment. Gunn has bridged the two rival studios with common actors in almost all the projects he has worked on so far for either studio. From Sean Gunn appearing throughout Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and DC’s The Suicide Squad, and Tinashe Kajese in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, The Suicide Squad, and an uncredited role in Peacemaker, Gunn has made a tradition of including actors in both Marvel and DC projects.
On his Instagram story, Gunn revealed that three more DC actors will be appearing in the Marvel franchise’s upcoming third installment. He shared an article listing some of the actors he has worked with in both Marvel and DC projects and added, “Also Tinashe Kajese in ‘The Suicide Squad’ & ‘GotG Holiday Special’ & Mikaela Mehrizi Hoover in ‘Vol 1’ & ‘The Suicide Squad’ and at least 3 more upcoming in Vol 3!!”
It has already been announced that Daniela Melchior (Ratcatcher II in The Suicide Squad) will appear in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, ticking off one of the three actors teased by Gunn on his Instagram story. As for the other two, it remains a mystery. Gunn’s past projects with both studios have featured a range of actors, from big names to smaller fan favorites. Perhaps big faces like John Cena or Margot Robbie would appear for a fun gag, or actors behind smaller fan-favorites like Freddie Stroma (Vigilante) or Steve Agee (John Economos) could cameo.
Regardless of who appears, it will be fun for fans of both studios to see familiar faces in projects from either one. Gunn has even said that it is possible that fans will see some familiar Guardians of the Galaxy faces in future DCU projects, continuing the trend even after he finishes with Marvel.
Despite complaints about this trend, Gunn responded by saying that “what matters most is the actor fits the role & they’re easy to work with.” He further explained that he has hundreds of roles to cast and that some will be brand new faces, some will be actors he’s worked with before, and some will be actors that fans know who he’s never worked with.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to hit theaters on May 5, and fans can expect even more cross-casting in the upcoming film.
