James Gunn’s latest project, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, is now streaming on Disney+, and his next Marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is hitting theatres next year. However, these will likely be his last projects with Marvel now that he has taken on a bigger role with DC. Gunn, who previously helmed The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker for DC, has been tapped with Peter Safran to be the co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios, a new entity formed to replace the ailing DC Films. Needless to say, Gunn is pretty busy these days, so it’s no surprise to learn he won’t be attending one of his favorite events.
I will miss my friends at #CCXP22 this year – one of my favorite places in the world. But I am sadly too busy finishing putting together the DC slate as well as finishing #GotGVol3. I miss you guys & hope you have the best time ever! 🇧🇷❤️ https://t.co/WoZhVQ9QCl
