James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, has received criticism for promoting Marvel’s upcoming film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which he directed. Gunn’s promotion of the movie has raised concerns about his loyalty to DC Studios, where he is currently working on upcoming projects. However, Gunn shut down these complaints, stating that his loyalty is to his commitments and collaborators rather than a brand or logo.
Gunn’s Response To The Criticism
After Gunn posted an Instagram photo of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 cast, a fan complained about DC hiring someone “who advertises the competition.” In response, Gunn stated that DC did not want someone who would turn his back on the last movie he created and poured his heart and soul into. He also noted that his commitment to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was something DC knew about before hiring him.
Gunn’s Loyalty To His Commitments And Collaborators
Gunn’s response to the criticism revealed that his loyalty is not to a specific brand or logo, but rather to his commitments and collaborators. He believes that this kind of stance is what comic book fandom truly needs and may inspire new talent to work with DC Studios’ head in the future.
Why DC Studios Is In Good Hands With James Gunn
Gunn’s accessibility on social media, where he updates fans on the progress of projects, debunks rumors, and engages with fans, is one reason why DC Studios is in good hands. His commitment to his projects and collaborators is also a positive sign for the future of DC Studios.
Continued Questions For James Gunn
Gunn will likely continue to field questions about his unique position with both Marvel and DC Studios until the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. However, his response to criticism has shown that his loyalty lies with his commitments and collaborators, making him an asset to both studios.
