Huge error for Alan horn to fire the man. I wish Gunn the best. He was fantastic and his career should flourish.

Dave Bautista wants in!

Robtard
As much as I wanted Gunn to finish up the GoTG Trilogy, Disney's lose is WB's gain.

Huge win for WB/DC if they can get him. Also a big middle finger to everyone at Marvel/Disney.

WB is no doubt loving this.

First Whedon and now Gunn

roughrider
DC & Warner Bros. bringing in talent that has already made successful Marvel properties - it looks like poaching to get Marvel's secret formula and has rarely worked out.

Yep. Gunn would do well with the SS property. It's going to be interesting.

BackFire
Smart move.

Quincy
That's a pretty good call.

I think we do Whedon a disservice by claiming failing results for joining the WB side. With a movie that's already all chopped up and mostly filmed, was a tough thing to enter and just, upend.

TheVaultDweller
This could be interesting. I'd like to see what Gunn could do with those characters, because I feel like that first SS film had so much potential that ended up being completely wasted.

Disney is still going to use his script, right?

Khazra Reborn
They should give him something else, like maybe Lobo, or a Constantine reboot. I don't know why WB is so hell-bent on turning Suicide Squad into the DC version of GotG.

I'm surprised they're still trying to save DCEU, tbh.

They should either start anew, do a hard reboot or go back to making stand-alone films.

Was probably Gunns choice.


Whats funny is the previous writers just recently finished and handed in their script. Clearly no one will be reading that lol

BackFire
I read that the reason the previous script will not be used is because it ended up being very similar to the Birds of Prey script.

Might actually get a decent SS squad film...maybe

I would have thought Green Lantern corps would be right up his alley.

But again, WB would have given him the choice of whatever DC project he wanted.

quanchi112
Given how cheap the budgets are if they did a new gods movie I bet the cgi would be cringe worthy at parts. I do not think warner can compete with the budgets Disney has greenlit these days. Dceu products will be second tier and noticeably so.

SS was legitimately one of the worst movies I've ever seen, Gunn is a talented writer/director, at this point he can only elevate the DCEU.

DarthPlaguis12
True that....I actually think Ayer should be ashamed for directing such a hot pile of dog shit.

janus77
SS might be the wrong project for him. Only Harley has any real character to her. the rest are awful and their comic-book personalities aren't exactly fun or engaging.

Rocket, Peter and Drax had a certain natural charm, in the source material, that Gunn spun into gold, but what's there to work with in SS?

Maybe he could have done Flash or even Shazam (which isn't looking too bad).

steverules_2
I seem to remember James Gunn wrote and directed another little well known film called Movie 43, well known for being awful. Just saying SS might be shit...again.

quanchi112
I like the chances of it being good as more likely than it sucking though no one is perfect.

Patient_Leech
Lol, well it's even more obvious DC was indeed trying too hard to be Guardians of the Galaxy with Suicide Squad now that they've hired Gunn..

Meh, I'm sure Gunn could improve SS, but I think he should turn it down and do something else more original and interesting.

He didn't direct the whole movie, Just one segment of it.

roughrider
It will be interesting, just because the real creative power at Marvel Studios seems to be Kevin Feige and the production team, rather than the individual directors. Gunn will be under pressure to deliver something close to GOTG; we'll see how well he does without that team he had before.

Or, like Joss Whedon walking away from Batgirl, he might just quit while he still has respect.

I hope this turns out well, but I am highly dubious and believe this will be another Joss Whedon directing Justice League situation. The WB just doesn't let directors do their own thing unless you're Patty Jenkins.

How so?

when they've pretty much have said that they won't be using the previous script that has been written and James Gunn is writing an all new script, It's not like he's being brought in halfway through filming the second movie.

Darth Thor
Yeah its completely different to JL, where Whedon only entered the scene after Snyder has finished his initial shooting of the film.

WB gave no special privileges to Patty Jenkins. In fact they never even had her signed on for a second film, then had to go back to renegotiate with her after Wonder Womans success.

It's weird to look at what Whedon has done with Marvel and then see him utterly f*ck up with DC.

I think Whedons Batgirl would have been gold personally.

And so would Ben Afflecks Batman had that happened.

And Robtard already called you out on that showing how it made approximately the same profit as IM1. Both films kicked off their respective Universes. Except MOS had to fight off the bad taste of Superman Returns which completely Flopped.

Plus it could afford the increased budget with all the sponsorships they were getting from Gillette based around the Man of Steel title.

Iron man first off was not an icon at the time nor was the budget as large as the man of steel. Expectations were much higher for Superman. No, incorrect the man of steel was divisive and failed to make 700 million worldwide. The movie failed off its own merits.


Nah, Batman v. Superman made even more money but still fell below expectations and further devalued the brand. Superman is not a huge draw times have changed. MCU flourished the dceu puttered and is being kept alive due to WW not Kal. Your opinion is not shared on a massive level as I claimed.

And the previous Superman film flopped. Iron Man did not have that stench to pass. The MCU Incredible Hulk flopped because it carried the stench of the previous Hulk film. And Hulk was a much bigger name than Iron Man.Do you know Batman Begins failed to make $400million? You have no point.

So your theory is it took Warner Bros 5 years to figure out that MOS was a failure? Lmao

No dummy. Its just that after BvS was received badly and Justice League failed, WB thought they better give the Big 2 a break for now and concentrate on fresh new properties.

Stop changing the topic. We are talking about MOS.

Made good profit at the box office after the failure of the previous Superman film.

Got an A- Cinemascore from Audiences. Was mixed critically but still the 2nd best received film in the DCEU to date, both from audiences and critics.

Oh and it sold more than Iron Man 3 on home entertainment. Despite IM3 making double at the box office.

So yeah it successfully launched the DCEU. The DCEU only failed from the films that came after, sans Wonder Woman obviously.

Your excuses are just that. Excuses. Your butthurt over Superman being the most iconic heavyweight in comics is simply hilarious.

But hey keep spewing out fake news like MOS was a failure if it makes you feel better. I think youve been called out on it plenty but will obviously continue to Troll.

So what? Batman begins made a healthy profit. Unproven nonsense. The majority of the general audience did not clamor for Hulk. You have anecdotal evidence at best. Nothing correlating anything truly.

In terms of exoecatuons and the budget it was a failure just not a flop. They trudged on and look where that got them with the League film.


Because they were not universally accepted and utterly flopped in their team film. They are right to abandon these properties since they are not the draws they once were. My point exactly.

It did not reach their exoecations and considering it had a higher budget than avengers it is downright pitiful in relation. My point exactly is Superman is not a huge draw and sub 700 million box office with this high budget confirms it. Point proven.
Most people do not give cinema scores so this does not represent the majority of the audience. I thought it was sub par.
So what? We do not take inebumber we take the totality otherwise you are just cherry picking. Iron man 3 kicked the shit out of Superman in the final score. Not just one stat but the complete stats factored in.
It hobbled out of the gate with man of steel since the movie was not universally praised and failed to meet the expectations of the studio considering the massive budget.

I do not care that Spider-Man is huge either just as I do not care Superman used to be bigger. He is shit now. He is glossed over because he does not matter like he used to. My guy Thanos is who I have always loved and I care about how amazing the film was. Dceu has always been shit compared to the MCU and man of steels laughable missteps are a treat for me to rub your face in.
