What does this mean about his rumored connection to future Batman and Justice League movies? Read much more after the jump.
According to Deadline, not only is Gordon-Levitt in the mix, there’s a small possibility he might have already been offered the role. It would be a huge surprise after a full month of speculation regarding other young actors like Joel Edgerton (Warrior), Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire), Jim Sturgess (Cloud Atlas), Lee Pace (Lincoln), Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserables), and Zachary Levi (Chuck). Several of those guys have screentested and publicly come out to say they’d love the role as an American astronaut who ends up in space and as the head of this cosmic superteam.
James Gunn, who is re-writing and directing Guardians, came out to say the latest casting news, regarding Sturgess and Levi, was inaccurate and maybe he was referring to Gordon-Levitt. We’ll likely find out soon as the film will most certainly start filming later this year.
Do you think Gordon-Levitt would be a good Starlord? Do you agree this puts his Batman future in question?
