James Gunn is currently hard at work helming The Suicide Squad for Warner Bros., and according to the filmmaker, directing this movie in particular for the studio was his choice.
Certainly, following up Suicide Squad is a very interesting choice for James Gunn.
After his firing from Disney which ultimately turned out to be temporary, Gunn had been approached by Warner Bros. to lend his creative talents to a new DC project.
Gunn was later officially brought back into the fold at Disney to develop another Guardians of the Galaxy movie for Marvel, but the project will need to wait for now as he had already committed to The Suicide Squad.
