Gunn talks about the relationship between DC and Marvel: It's not like fans fighting each other

After joining "Suicide Squad" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" at the same time, James Gunn is one of the few directors in Hollywood who can direct both DC and Marvel movies at the same time. Previously, he was temporarily fired by Marvel, so he signed a filming contract with Warner, and then Marvel changed its mind and invited him to return. In a recent interview, he talked about his views on both Marvel and DC.

However, viewers who want to watch the fun may be disappointed, because the relationship between the two sides behind the scenes is quite friendly. Gunn wrote on Instagram: "Before taking this job, I told Kevin Feige that he had no objection and expressed support. He just wanted me to make a good movie. He and (MCU producer) Louis Sposito came to the scene to watch us shoot." It seems that although DC and Marvel movies are in a competitive relationship, the people behind the scenes will not be hostile to each other as soon as they meet.

Gunn took on the job of "Suicide Squad" because he was fired from the crew of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3". Gunn posted some low-level and obscene tweets in the early years, which were dug up and angered Disney executives, who fired him despite the opposition of the crew and actors. Later, fans thought this treatment was unfair and launched a petition to let him return to "Guardians of the Galaxy". In the end, his wish came true, but before that, he had signed a contract with Warner to shoot "Suicide Squad".

Now it seems that Gunn is not upset about this misunderstanding. The most important thing is to make a high-quality film. Gunn further explained that "the staff behind the scenes are not as hostile as the fan groups." It implies that the dispute between fans of both camps is actually meaningless. Now both sides are looking forward to the best movie, and what everyone wants to see most is a win-win situation.
