Another one bites the dust. James Gunn, the writer/director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films, (as well as The Sucide Squad, one of my favorites) has either stepped down, or was fired (depending on who you talk to), from his job of running DC Comics studios. Gunn had big plans for his DC Universe, which were set to continue with his second film as director, the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, which is still being planned for release in 2027. Gunn's producing partner, Peter Safran, is also out.
Gunn's DC was a mixed bag for me, overall. I loved his The Sucide Squad, and enjoyed his Superman, and I also liked Supergirl. But I didn't care for Lanterns, nor could I really get into Creature Commandos. And the second season of Peacemaker was a disappointment for me. I also had some doubts about the shows that Gunn was planning, such as TV series beased on secondary characters like Jimmy Olsen and Gorilla Grodd. Here's hoping whoever picks up the baton can make DC Comics a viable cinematic universe, like the MCU. But we'll see.
