If someone else is there James Gunnas shoes for the head of DC and his working partners. Peter Safranfans may be worried. The comic book studio has had its share of lows and highs over the years, the polar opposite of Marvel, but things are looking up.
Between Gunn’s Marvel movies— Guardians of the Galaxy movie series, to his DC movies suicide squadand its spin-offs peacemakerwe are very confident that Gunn will guide us in the right direction.
The director gave us a boost of confidence in a recent interview with Collider, in which he talked about his hot projects, namely several R-rated ones.
When asked if he planned to test the waters of how an R-rated movie would be received by audiences, Gunn said confidently:
“We’re not here for this. We’re not here for ‘see how it works out.’ We have an opportunity for these characters to really move forward and do something we believe in.”
“I firmly believe that if we tell great, true stories, if a movie does well or poorly, if you stay true to that same philosophy, you’re going to build a universe that people are going to create. Love and want to be a part of for a long time. .
Gunn continued, adding that story is king and if the story demands it, then they will make the project regardless of the ratings, adding:
“This isn’t about testing whether this thing works. It’s about telling a story. If a story is going to be rated R, we’re totally fine with that. If it’s PG, PG-13, or G, I don’t care – whatever it’s worth This story, that’s what we’re going to do.
Gunn added that “more than one” project is close to approval and could be rated R. Interviewers cited reasons for success Deadpool and WolverineGunn agreed, saying “that’s right,” before adding:
“People love the character. People love that format. You know Peacemaker is basically unrated. So, we have a variety of stuff. I like the idea of doing a variety of different things.”
It’s clear that by embracing a variety of tones, ratings, and even genres, Gunn is ensuring the new DC Universe remains fresh and exciting for viewers of all tastes. The future of DC is very exciting.
