James Gunn revealed on Twitter today in response to a fan’s question that he and new DC Studios co-head Peter Safran are planning to reveal their new DC plan to the Warner Discovery team in the next two months.
“Yes, that is true (revealing it to the WBD team)” wrote Gunn on Twitter.
Safran and Gunn were appointed the heads of DC Studios, a separate silo that Warner Discovery Boss David Zaslav wanted under the studio’s motion picture umbrella, on Oct. 25. Gunn going forward remains exclusive to WarnerDiscovery and can’t do any Marvel projects, his last ones for the Disney studio being The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special which drops on Black Friday, Nov. 25, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 which hits theaters on May 5, 2023.
When asked by Deadline recently how he felt about leaving the Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy sandbox behind for DC, Gunn responded “I feel really comfortable. I feel really good. We did this. I think this is a bit of goofy fun that the Guardians needed as an aperitif for Volume 3, which is an enormous film. I had a plan from the beginning.”
“The reason why I needed to finish this is because I love the character of Rocket more than any character I’ve ever dealt with before, and I needed to finish his story and that is what Volume 3 is about. I absolutely needed to do it, and I think we’ve done it in a spectacular way that I can’t wait for people to see.”
In regards to who Marvel will leavethe Guardians franchise to, Gunn commented, “It’s not ever going to be the same group of characters for a lot of different reasons. Who knows what will happen with the Guardians franchise in regards to future characters, but in terms of this group of characters, this is the end of their story.”

DC Studios co-head James Gunn took to Twitter to respond to the chaotic news that broke yesterday about Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 3 not moving forward and other DC changes. You can see the tweets below.
Yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter broke a lot of news about the DCU‘s future, with multiple bombshells in the mix about a drastic full reset for the franchise. The biggest one? Patty Jenkins‘ “Wonder Woman 3” is dead, and it’s possible “Man Of Steel 2” may get the ax, too.
In the first big bold move by the new heads of DC, James Gunn and Peter Safran, Deadline has confirmed that they’ve put the kibosh on Patty Jenkins’ treatment of Wonder Woman 3. The filmmaker was expected to hand in a screenplay we understand, and instead the new bosses got pieces of paper which just weren’t suitable.
James Gunn’s swan song as writer/director of the Guardians of the Galaxy series took another step forward today, as the trailer for Vol. 3 was previewed at CCXP22 In São Paulo, Brazil.
It’s been a busy couple of years for writer-director James Gunn. After turning the crew of the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies into bonafide stars of the Marvel universe, Gunn was fired from the series, only to bring his superhero know-how to Warner Bros for “The Suicide Squad” and its popular HBO Max spinoff series, “Peacemaker.” But after a reconciliation with Marvel, Gunn is finally bringing his space trilogy to a close with “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie without a supersized threat. And this entry has a pair of them: Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), a super-being created by Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) to go after the Guardians and the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji), a mad scientist responsible for the creation of Rocket (Bradley Cooper).
This December, after a long, 13-year absence from screens, audiences will finally be able to return to Pandora as the long-delayed sequel to “Avatar” is complete. “Avatar: The Way of Water” will explore a new group of Na’vi that rely on the planet’s ocean life.

Filmmaker James Gunn’s modus operandi has been mostly the same but especially pronounced over the last few years. He’s always been attracted to misfits, outsiders, and the forgotten, and that’s always yielded lots of great, irreverent humor, championing the losers of various universes and watching them succeed by supporting one another.
Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket, Gamora, and the gang return to the big screen in “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3” next May.
The extensive ties between UFC parent Endeavor Group Holdings and Disney mean the media company is likely to be “open to a renewal conversation sooner rather than later,” in the assessment of Endeavor president Mark Shapiro.
It’s only been two weeks since James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as co-CEOs of DC Studios. However, it would appear the duo has been very busy over that time, according to the CEO of Warner Bros.
