James Gunn he’s one of the few people who has transitioned from working heavily within the Marvel Universe as a writer and director, to working at DC, in the same capacity, as well as overseeing the entire DC film franchise. Gunn has been promoted to head of DC, along with his colleague, Peter Safranand they’re gearing up to bring us a consistent new lineup of DC movies complete with new characters, as well as revamped classics.
Now that Gunn has had some time to settle into his new role as head of the company, he’s able to compare the ways Marvel and DC are different, and he has some good things to say about his new home. In a recent interview on Michael Rosenbaum’s Inside of You podcast (via superherohype), Gunn explained:
“One of the things that I love about DC, that excites me about DC, is that in a way it’s another alternate history. It’s Gotham City and Metropolis and Star City and Bludhaven, and all these different places in this other reality, and it kind of makes it kind of like Westeros. I love it that way. I love that we get to do real worldbuilding in DC, it’s not just “we’re throwing some superheroes to Earth”. I think right now, that’s one of the key differences.
Gunn is currently in development Superman: Legacy for the DC Universe, set for release in 2025. The co-CEO, who will write and direct, is in the casting process. Can’t wait to hear what Gunn plans to bring to the DCU?
