James Gunn is now co-lead of DCStudios, and Hollywood stars and filmmakers are celebrating 👀🙌 Scott Derrickson: 'Congrats James. Good for you, and so good for the movies. 🤘🏻👁🤘🏻' Ben Schwartz: 'HOLY S**T I LOVE THIS.' 👇More reactions👇
With the announcement that James Gunn is heading the DC Studios film slate, Hollywood has nothing, but praise for the genre bending director/producer. Ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe began with Iron Man, audiences wondered if DC was going to follow suit with their own shared universe. Following the success of The Avengers, and the divisive reaction to The Dark Knight Rises, Warner Bros. and DC felt that it was the right time to launch their own universe starting with Man of Steel.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Enter James Gunn who, after a brief falling out with Disney and Marvel, took up the reins to the DC film The Suicide Squad. The film, acting as a standalone sequel to David Ayer's movie, was critically acclaimed, with some considering it one of the best DC movies produced.
What Gunn's New Job Means For DC's Future DC's history with film has been a tumultuous affair. Before 2013, the majority of DC's film slate included Superman and Batman movies, but as the studio attempted to break out of their comfort zone with films like Catwoman and Green Lantern, their critical and commercial failures scared the two away from trying to adapt any other of their characters for some time.
Now that James Gunn is in charge, audiences and fans can rest easy knowing that a comic book film veteran is making the plans, having gained the trust of many for The Suicide Squad, and clearly that of DC Studios and Warner Bros. as well. While their current output is slim, audiences can expect to hear many great things lined up, including the potential Man of Steel 2, which is reportedly looking for writers now and Henry Cavill recently returning in Black Adam.
