After making history with the Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy films, James Gunn switched teams: He directed a crowd-pleasing film Suicide squad And, after the DCEU was included, the DCU began. Given the runaway success of both Awesome and Peacemakerit’s fair to say that gunn is the best thing that could happen to warner bros. In years together.
Now, it looks like the studio may be shooting for one person who could finally unleash a successful cinematic universe.
James Gunn’s career on the block?
Why did James Gunn lose his job? Recently, warner bros. confirmed its intention to sell the studio to the archbishop. If and when that happens, it’s entirely possible that a buyer could fire James Gunn from his position as CO-CEO of DC Studios.
That may sound paranoid, but a recent shooting means he could lose his new gig. Appearing on the bobatalk YouTube channel, the CEO was asked if this is true or not Awesome and Peacemaker it can pass on the other side The man of tomorrowscheduled for release in 2027. He confirmed that they are going “a lot again” before adding, “they may or may not be able to fulfill that promise in life.”
Gunn didn’t specify what those things were, but the most likely reason would be if Warner Bros. If that were to happen, it would probably mean the end of the DCU because Gunn is, by far, the master builder of a successful cinematic universe. His kick on Curb would signal to the public that Warner Bros. It has no faith in its most valuable asset and is willing to replace the Creator of the idea with another suit that has only one empty one.
Warner Bros. It repeats the same error That killed the DCEU
Ironically enough, this is more or less what led to the previous failure of the DCEU. Zack Snyder set the tone for this cinematic universe with The man of steelbut critical and commercial acceptance Batman v. Superman shook Studio’s faith in his creative vision. After the personal tragedy caused by Snyder Stock down in index activities The Justice Leaguewarner bros. he sent him back through him Buffy Creator Joss Whedon, who quickly turned the Snyder Fund Action Epic into a CGI train wreck.
I am one of my biggest critics Batman v. Supermanbut I have to admit that replacing people with people so tonally different was the beginning of the end of the DCEU. Now, it seems that Warner Bros. is in danger of replacing perhaps the best comedy creator in Hollywood on a whim. And if the studio runs the DC Cinematic universe into the ground for the second time, most of the audience (who, analysts say, still say, will still decide to tire of the superhero in the third attempt.
Hopefully, this is not a problem: After all, anyone who buys for warner bros. But James Gunn himself now seems unsure if he will have his job as CCO CEO of DC Studios past 2027 (release date The man of tomorrow). It’s reason enough for us to worry about his new cinematic universe hitting the ground running just as it’s starting to rise, up, and away.
