James Gunn reveals his five favorite comic book movies, and to much surprise, the list does not include an MCU entry but has some shocking choices.
James Gunn's five favorite comic book movies have been revealed, and his list leaves out the Marvel Cinematic Universe while including two surprising choices. Gunn has quite the experience in the comic book movie medium, having directed a Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy for Marvel Studios and helmed The Suicide Squad for DC. Gunn is also the person in charge of the creative side of the new DC Universe, with a 10-year plan in motion.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Speaking with GQ, Gunn revealed that his top five favorite comic book movies are Deadpool, Oldboy, A History of Violence, Superman , and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, from least to most favorite. Gunn's list does not contain an MCU film but does feature two Marvel movies, with Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool 3 now bringing that franchise into the MCU.
Oldboy's groundbreaking action inspired Gunn, with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 doing a hallway fight like the Korean film, and David Cronenberg's inventive use of the camera to tell the story of A History of Violence's action has stayed with Gunn. The two films also escape the superhero bubble, showing Gunn's versatility in his preferences.
Spider-Verse's humor, action, tight script, and groundbreaking art inspired Gunn to pick the film as his favorite comic book movie, with the director's films resembling a live-action take on what makes the animated movie work. Gunn's favorite comic book movies could not be complete without Richard Donner's original Superman. The film made a whole generation believe a man could fly, with a Superman that was kind and inherently human, despite being an alien.
