Pom Klementieff Reportedly Leading New DCU Series, and She Might Be Playing Huntress — GeekTyrant
While details are still being locked down, it sounds like James Gunn is once again teaming up with one of his MCU alums for something big.
This wouldn't be Klementieff's first brush with the DC world. She had a silent cameo in The Suicide Squad back in 2021, but if this new project pans out, it'll mark her full-fledged entry into Gunn's freshly rebooted DC Universe.
So who's she playing? Word is, Klementieff has been tapped to portray Helena Bertinelli, aka Huntress, a fan-favorite vigilante who previously appeared in Birds of Prey , where she was played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
The character first appeared in the 1989 Huntress comic by Joey Cavalieri and Joe Staton and has remained a gritty, complex staple of the Bat-family ever since.
The report adds that this version of Huntress will be half-Korean and half-Italian, offering a fresh spin on the character's backstory. That makes the rumored involvement of South Korean filmmaker Jung Byung-gil ( The Villainess ) even more exciting. If this is true, he'll be serving as writer and director.
Nothing's been officially confirmed yet because, as the report notes, 'there hasn't been a formal deal in place.' Fans have started speculating after Klementieff was seen visiting the set of Peacemaker Season 2. Could she show up there first before launching into her own series? It wouldn't be the first time Gunn introduced a new character that way.
Whether or not the Huntress news is true, this much is clear, Gunn is building a new DC Universe, and it makes sense that he would want to work with Klementieff again.
