Warner Bros. Has Reportedly Approached James Gunn About Directing a DC Film
Yesterday we learned that director James Gunn was negotiating his possible exit as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It's said his script will be used for the film and that there's a chance he could come back to direct a future Marvel movie in the event they officially don't bring him back to direct Vol. 3.
It's also being reported that Gunn has been approached by several top producers and executives in Hollywood to write and direct a number of big film projects that the studios are looking to develop. They are excited to work with Gunn! One studio executive said:
"Most people feel his comments were coming out of his brand of comedy [at the time he made them]. Having an inappropriate sense of humor shouldn’t be a crime."
One of the studios looking to hire Gunn is said to be Warner Bros. They would love to get him on board to direct one of their DC film properties! As of right now, though, Gunn is unable to entertain any offers until the "Disney matter is 100 percent resolved."
It will certainly be interesting to see how this all plays out and what is store for Gunn's future. But Marvel's loss could be DC's gain. Would you like to see Gunn direct a DC film? If so, which character or characters would you want to see him play with?
