Speaking to the New York Times while promoting The Suicide Squad, James Gunn discussed how the new feature with Marvel is likely to be his last, at least for now.
While James Gunn has had a very eventful journey to helming the third outing for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, it seems that it may also turn out to be his last directorial effort in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Marvel Universe has always been a little more cohesive, and DC has always had more great single runs.
In previous interviews, Gunn has not made any secret that working on The Suicide Squad has been a world away from his time with Marvel’s creations, noting in particular that there is a certain creative freedom that comes with DC’s titles that isn’t available with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
