When James Gunn was briefly fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3The chain effect ended up remodeling the entire panorama of the superhero film. That moment opened the door to Gunn to take the reins in the end to the DC studios and give us the new Superman. But how that transition has happened and the conversations along the road are fascinating.
On the podcast of Dax Shepard armchair expert, Gunn broke as everything started when Warner Bros. came to knock:
“Toby Emmerich, by Warner Bros. at the time, came to me; was it like” Superman by James Gunn? James Gunn’s Superman? “, And I said:” I don’t know a man “. Then it was like” Well, what about the Suicide Squad? “.
So, as we all know, before being co-cenid of DC Studios and writing SupermanInitially Gunn lowered the man of steel. Instead, it jumped into SuicideA project that allowed him to play in a different corner of the DC universe while he still ends Guardians Marvel trilogy, thanks to an unexpected turn.
“I’m not joking, I went home and received a phone call. He was Alan Horn, and he said to me:” James, I wonder if you could enter and see me tomorrow? “… he said,” I wanted to take you on. “I said:” Oh.
This meant a more crucial conversation, with the president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige. And that’s where things become really interesting. Gunn revealed a moment that he hadn’t shared before:
“So I went to Kevin’s house … and he said,” It’s fantastic. It’s so beautiful. This is what I wanted. “And I said,” Yes, that’s fine, but first I have to do something else. “… and Kevin goes:” Ugh. … I said: “No, I’ll do a sequel to suicides,” and said, “Whoa.” “
Years before Gunn would actually face SupermanThe idea was already in the air, enough to allow Feige to assume that it was direct. Gunn may not have been ready then, but fate clearly had other plans.
Forward fast until now, and Gunn is not only launched SupermanIt is building the foundations for a completely new DC cinematic universe.
What do you think? Was Superman always destined to be James Gunn’s final project?
