James Gunn, the current CEO of DC Films, wrote and directed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, one of the highest-grossing movies in the history of the superhero genre, as an employee of Marvel in 2017.
The celebrated filmmaker crossed enemy lines one year later when he officially joined DC. Thus far, Gunn’s stint at the helm (along with his co-CEO Peter Safran) of DC Studios has been far from smooth sailing as several fans blamed him for the departure of actors such as The Rock (Black Adam), Henry Cavill (Superman), and Jason Momoa (Aquaman). But to be fair, Gunn was given the tough task of fixing a mess at DC that he did not create, and he has since instituted a “phase plan” similar to the blueprint at Marvel Studios. Today, James Gunn took to Twitter to announce DC’s plans for a slew of films, animated productions, and TV shows.
