‘Shazam!' producer Peter Safran confirms that James Gunn's ‘The Suicide Squad' is a “total reboot"

March 16, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

I was rather confused as to whether James Gunn would still be directing “The Suicide Squad” ever since his rehiring to direct “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3” — Has that ever happened before? A director working on both an MCU and DCEU movie? Who knows, but, according to ‘Shazam!' producer Peter Safran, Gunn will direct both. That’s good for us, Gunn’s style is how comic book movies should be made, maybe with the exception of a few superheroes, like Batman.

James Gunn Rehired as “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” Director

March 15, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

James Gunn had been fired, in July of 2018, by Disney and Marvel after old, offensive tweets from the filmmaker resurfaced on Twitter. However, in a remarkable turn of events, Disney has decided to reinstate Gunn as the director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” Variety is reporting that the sudden rehiring of Gunn happened “after a series of meetings with Walt Disney Pictures honcho Alan Horn.”

Kevin Feige Claims That James Gunn's MCU Role Was ‘Blown Out of Proportion'

February 23, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

James Gunn's role in the MCU has been overblown by fans, according to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige. There’s no discounting the fact that Gunn infused the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies with his unique style and managed to create a sort of “Star Wars” inspired enterprise for the 21st century. With the Guardians success, the MCU quickly adopted Gunn’s brand of humor and action into their other movies as a result.

'Guardians' Actor Michael Rooker Says James Gunn’s Firing Was 'Terrible'; Confirms Gunn Will Direct ‘Suicide Squad’

October 29, 2018 Jordan Ruimy
James-Gunn-Michael-Rooker-Guardians-Galaxy-1200x520.jpg

'Guardians' Michael Rooker didn't mince words when it came to defending fired director James Gunn (via Comicbook.com). “It’s terrible, isn’t it? Yeah, but oh well, guess what? He’s on a gig already. ‘Suicide Squad,’ that’s right. He’s writing it and directing it as well,” Rooker said at Walker Stalker Con in Atlanta.

It's good to hear some kind of confirmation that, indeed, Gunn is directing 'Suicide Squad 2.' Up to this point the DCEU and WB were, and are still, only confirming that Gunn is writing the screenplay with the 'possibility' of him directing the picture as well.

Dave Bautista Wants to Be Part of James Gunn’s ‘Suicide Squad 2’

October 10, 2018 Jordan Ruimy

I have to commend Dave Bautista for continuously pushing Disney to reinstate recently fired 'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn. His passion and persistence says a lot about the loyalty this man feels for his director. 

With the news breaking yesterday that James Gunn was going to write and possibly direct 'Suicide Squad 2' Bautista was at it again on Twitter, wondering how he could partake in the upcoming film:

“Where do I sign up!” the actor simply stated in a tweet. 

The trolling against Disney continues. Touché Mr. Bautista.

Official: James Gunn To Write and, Possibly, Direct 'Suicide Squad' Sequel for Warner Bros.

October 9, 2018 Jordan Ruimy

A few months ago, Over 200,000 people signed a petition for Disney to re-hire "Guardians of the Galaxy" writer-director James Gunn. However, this petition didn't change Disney's decision, it was quite clear he was toast. 

I predicted that DC would take advantage of this opportunity to pounce and try to sign Gunn to their now newly redesigned DCEU. But it's still shocking to hear today's news that Gunn will not only be writing "Suicide Squad 2" for DC and Warner Bros but is set to direct the sequel as well. 

A report courtesy of THR is saying that Gunn will indeed be heading from Marvel to DC:
"Gunn, who was fired from the third installment in his Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, has come on board to write, with an eye to direct, Suicide Squad sequel, the DC-based project at Warner Bros."

"Gunn has closed a deal to pen the script. At this stage, there is no director deal but talks could proceed depending on the outcome."

"Gunn was fired from his Marvel franchise after old tweets from 2008 and 2009 where he made insensitive and controversial jokes about topics like rape and pedophillia were resurfaced by conservative website The Daily Caller."

"Suicide Squad" had so much potential but turned out to be a very bad movie. With Gunn now at the forefront of the sequel, anticipation levels have just skyrocketed.

Dave Bautista: 'I don't know if I want to work for Disney anymore'

September 2, 2018 Jordan Ruimy

Well, Dave Bautista is at it again:

"It's a bitter, bitter conversation because I’m not really happy with what they’ve done with James Gunn,"
 he revealed. "They're putting the movie off, it's on hold indefinitely. To be honest with you, I don't know if I want to work for Disney."
