James Gunn is known for helming some huge comic book projects, including the Guardians of the Galaxy movies for Marvel and The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker for DC. Last month, it was announced that Gunn and Peter Safran have been tapped as the co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios, a new entity formed to replace the ailing DC Films. However, Gunn still has two Marvel projects in the works. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is hitting Disney+ next week and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. is hitting theatres next year. While these are likely to be Gunn’s final Marvel projects now that he’s got a bigger role over at DC, some DC fans aren’t happy that the director is still plugging Marvel.
As was made clear in all press, until May I am both DC & Marvel. I’ve dedicated the majority of the past 10 years of my life to the Guardians trilogy, & I’m not abandoning them or the thousands of people who worked on them at the 11th hour. The world won’t end if you love both. https://t.co/MBc5mPBmvL
