Marvel head Kevin Feige pokes fun at James Gunn's new DC Studios role as the Guardians of the Galaxy director prepares to depart from the MCU.
Kevin Feige playfully jokes about James Gunn's new job overseeing the DCU by pretending not to know Gunn's plans after Guardians of the GalaxyVol. 3. Gunn has been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe( MCU) since directing the first Guardians of the Galaxy film in 2014. still, he began working with DC as well, directing The self-murder Squad reboot in 2021. Gunn went on to also direct the film's spin- off series, interceder. still, on October 25, it was revealed Gunn would play a more prominent part in the DC when he was namedco-CEO andco-chairman of DC Studios along with Peter Safran.
During an appearance at CCPX( viaComicBook.com), Feige poked some good- natured fun at Gunn's new job. After being questioned by a addict about what Gunn's plans were after the Guardians of the Galaxy trio concluded, Feige pretended not to know about Gunn's position. Of course, he was obviously joking as he has been openly probative of Gunn's part with DCU. Still, given the supposed ongoing MCUvs. DCU feud, it's only fitting that Feige faked to be unimpressed with Gunn's new part. Check out his statement below
"James Gunn just released The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. He's finishing his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, and then he has some work to do somewhere else, I don't know where he's going."
Would Gunn Return To The MCU?
While Feige was joking, Gunn is indeed leaving the MCU and doing work" nearly differently." Both the conclusion of the Guardians of the Galaxy film series and the advertisement of his new part at DCU feel to spell out the end of his time with the MCU. Meanwhile, Gunn himself has suggested treating Guardians of the GalaxyVol. 3 like his final MCU design. While anything can be, and he is be open to returning to MCU in the future, Gunn will be working simply for the DCU for the duration of his contract. Reports have suggested that his exclusive contract with DCU is four times long. As a result, Gunn has no plans to return to the MCU right now, but nearly in the future, there is a chance he could.
How James Gunn Can Change The DCU
Indeed though it might be bittersweet to see Gunn leave the MCU, there's important work to be done with the DCU. One of the major ways he can change and ameliorate the DCU is by creating a central focus for the ballot. Over the times, DCU flicks have demanded direction, focus, and connection, performing in confusion and plot holes. Gunn has formerly indicated that creating a truly unified macrocosm will be one of his first systems with the DCU. He promised that all of DC's flicks and shows will be connected in the future.
Another major change that Gunn could bring about is DC granting further creative freedom to the directors of DCU flicks. Studio hindrance has caused some difficulties in DC, and WarnerBros. has been indicted of snooping in Justice League and David Ayer's 2016 self-murder Squad, with the directors at least incompletely attributing the flicks' failings to similar hindrance. Meanwhile, when Gunn rebooted The self-murder Squad, it performed much better than Ayer's because Gunn was allowed more creative freedom. If further creative liberty is given to directors they might be suitable to give further nuanced flicks while still staying in line with the comics and overall vision for the DCU. Gunn has the implicit to change the DCU by fixing its connectivity issues and maybe by putting further power into the directors' hands.
