Superman director James Gunn has shared some exciting news that’s got fans buzzing about the connection between DC and Marvel. Known for his work on the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Gunn is now bringing his talent to DC’s universe with the new Superman film, starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult.

Fans have been curious if any Guardians of the Galaxy stars would appear in the film, especially since Gunn himself hinted at some fun connections on social media. In a recent exclusive interview with BuzzFeed Australia, Gunn confirmed some surprising cameos.

He said, “I will give you something that nobody knows, but Pom Klementieff is one of the robots. It’s Bradley and then it’s also Pom and Michael Rooker is another one of the robots.” That means Bradley Cooper, who voices Rocket Raccoon in Guardians, is in the Superman movie too, along with other familiar faces.

When asked about other Guardians stars like Zoe Saldaña and Dave Bautista, Gunn said they’re “keeping them in the wings,” hinting there could be more surprises in the future.

Previously, before James Gunn started filming Superman, he asked fans on social media to recommend a role in the DCU for Dave Bautista.
This news comes as part of a bigger picture for DC’s plans, which look very busy in the coming years. Gunn teased, “This movie comes out in July, and then Peacemaker begins in August. We’re getting right into it. We have Supergirl and we have Clayface and we have Lanterns. They’re all coming out one after the other. Now that we’re starting, it’s going to start coming pretty full force at people.”

Superhero fans can expect a lot more action and surprises soon, with Gunn promising a bright future for the DC universe. So, get ready for more crossovers and big moments.

The movie stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent. It also features Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced. The story shows Superman trying to balance his alien background with his life growing up in a human family.

Warner Bros. Pictures will release Superman in theaters in the United States on July 11, 2025. This movie will be the first part of the DC Universe’s new Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
