James Gunn has for several years been the rare director to bounce between both DC and Marvel films
Kelly Clarkson Makes Blake Shelton Take a Lie Detector on ‘The Voice': ‘He's a Liar'“He was my best friend,” Gunn wrote. “He didn’t understand me as a kid, but he supported my love of comics and my love of film and I wouldn’t be making this movie now without him.”
James Gunn has been reinstated as director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” following his firing last July for controversial jokes he made nearly a decade ago that were resurfaced on Twitter. Watch for his reaction to Disney’s major decision. Gunn has for several years been the rare director to bounce between both DC and Marvel films. He first came to DC after directing Marvel’s well-regarded “Guardians of the Galaxy” films. When the Walt Disney Co. temporarily dropped Gunn over old tweets that joked about rape and pedophilia, he jumped to DC and made the supervillain film “The Suicide Squad,” a kind of blockbuster do-over that followed David Ayer’s much-maligned “Suicide Squad.
He and the veteran producer Safran came aboard with several upcoming DC films already on their way to theaters, including “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” , “The Flash” and “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” . And he still has “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" coming on May 5. “Superman: Legacy” will be the first film in the new iteration of the connected DC Universe, followed by Matt Reeves’ “The Batman Part II,” which is set for an Oct. 2025 launch. That film, like Todd Phillips' “Joker” sequel coming in 2024, will lie outside of the DCU.
