Suicide Squad character that he couldn’t bring himself to kill off in his latest film.While Gunn kills off several characters in the opening scene of his latest film, The Suicide Squad, he revealed to Variety that there was one character he couldn’t bring himself to kill, even though it was in his original plan to do so.Gunn revealed that he killed off Ratcatcher 2 in the development stage but admitted that he couldn’t do it because the character was too “sweet” to kill. He also said he was concerned the death could have been too dark.He told the publication: “There was a change.

SPOILER WARNING: Do not read if you have not seen “The Suicide Squad,” currently playing in theaters and streaming on HBO Max.For anyone familiar with James Gunn’s career, his DC comics adaptation “The Suicide Squad” is arguably the most James Gunn movie he’s ever made. Like his Marvel Studios’ films — 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” and 2017’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

Filmmaker James Gunn seems to be making quite the impression over at Warner Bros. and DC Films with his latest DECU installment, “The Suicide Squad,” which has seemingly been hyped-up for what feels like ages and delivered the goods with an exceptional group of reviews alongside positive buzz from fickle DC Comics fans.

David Ayer who? If you’re the folks at Warner Bros. and DC Films, that’s the exact question they want audiences to ask after seeing James Gunn’s latest film, “The Suicide Squad.” Though Ayer did, technically, make a “Suicide Squad” film back in 2016 (though it might not conform to his exact vision), the studio behind that feature is hoping you have selective amnesia and embrace what is happening in Gunn’s reinvention of the misfit supervillain troupe, Task Force X.

Warner Bros. fired up James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad last night, the studio’s first Thursday preview in a long time arguably since pre-pandemic; the DC R-rated ensemble seeing $4.1M off showtimes that began at 7PM; the biggest for a R-rated movie during the pandemic.

Taika Waititi's name was part of the original cast announcement for James Gunn's semi-sequel, semi-reboot, totally-its-own-thing take on. But when the director eventually unveiled who was playing who in the movie, Waititi's role went conspicuously undisclosed.At the time, we predicted perhaps Waititi would voice King Shark (though that was revealed to be none other than Sly Stallone).

"Suicide Squad" director James Gunn called out director Martin Scorsese for previously bashing Marvel and other franchise filmmakers.  In addition to the upcoming "Suicide Squad" film based on DC Comics characters, Gunn is perhaps best known for helming the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise for Marvel.The Guardians have had two installments under their belt and, after a bit of controversy, were secured for a third.  While promoting his latest movie on MTV’s "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, Gunn rehashed the controversy that surrounded Scorsese in 2019 when he decried Marvel movies as "not cinema" and likened them to "theme park" attractions.  Speaking to podcast host Josh Horowitz, Gunn said that he believes Scorsese’s comments were merely

A lot has already been made of James Gunn’s decision to make “The Suicide Squad.” We already know the opportunity came about because Disney executives fired the filmmaker from “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” and suddenly Gunn’s schedule was wide open, leading to a meeting with Warner Bros.

MTV’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast.“I just think it seems awful cynical that he would keep coming out against Marvel — and then that is the only thing that would get him press for his movie,” Gunn, 55, told pod host Josh Horowitz. “He’s creating his movie in the shadow of the Marvel films, and so he uses that to get attention for something he wasn’t getting as much attention as he wanted for it.”He was referring to Scorsese’s 2019 interview with Empire, in which the 78-year-old Hollywood icon said that he tried to watch Marvel movies but they weren’t his cup of tea.

James Gunn, the director of the new The Suicide Squad movie, went on the Happy Sad Confused podcast and revealed his thoughts on those infamous Martin Scorsese comments about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Martin Scorsese’s criticism of Marvel films, after the director previously stated they were “not cinema”.In 2019, Scorsese divided audiences after comparing comic-book movies, like Marvel’s Avengers and Spider-Man, to theme parks, saying: “It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.” He later elaborated on his stance in a New York Times essay.Gunn, director of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and DC’s The Suicide Squad, has since expanded on his previous response to Scorsese’s remarks, accusing the director of criticising superhero films to attract publicity for The Irishman.Asked if he feels a responsibility to defend superhero films during an appearance on the Happy Sad

Martin Scorsese’s opinions about Marvel movies are still generating backlash.

So, as you probably saw earlier today, “The Suicide Squad” writer/director James Gunn was on the Happy Sad Confused show, dumped a little bit on Martin Scorsese and his criticism of superhero films, that’s gonna cause some online drama, but there’s really lots more. One of the big topics that the interviewer host comes up on is, what would he want to do next and what kind of superhero property he might want to tackle next, if any.

First, it needs to be said that a lot of time has passed since Martin Scorsese took aim at Marvel Studios and superhero films, basically calling them trash and not real “cinema.” So, perhaps in that time, Scorsese binged all of the MCU films and is anxiously awaiting “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” in September. But he hasn’t said anything about that yet, so when James Gunn was recently asked about those controversial Marvel comments made by the legendary director, he talked openly and honestly about what he thinks motivated them.

Marvel/Disney+ series What If…The new animated show sees many characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe returning to voice them, although Bautista’s Guardians Of The Galaxy character Drax is not included.Responding to a fan on Twitter who asked on Monday (August 2) why he would not be voicing Drax in the new show, Bautista wrote: “Let’s start with I was never asked.”James Gunn, who directed Bautista in Guardians, replied to his tweet simply writing: “What”.Let’s start with I was never asked. https://t.co/HwrnMrEajh— Poor Kid Who Chased His Dreams.

A great comic book movie requires a lot of elements to fall into place. You need a great special effects team, at least one compelling hero or antihero to rally behind for two hours, and a snappy script peppered with engaging action.

said on Monday, which prompted a confused response by his own “Guardians” director, James Gunn, who replied simply with “What.” A rep for Disney did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment. What“What If…” is an anthology series that imagines alternate timelines for MCU characters, including Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) taking the super-soldier serum and becoming Captain Britain, and T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) getting picked up by Yondu (Michael Rooker) instead of Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and leading the Guardians of the Galaxy.Other MCU stars returning to voice their characters include Chris Hemsworth, Paul Bettany, Josh Brolin, Don Cheadle, Benedict Cumberbatch, Samuel L.

With James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” arriving in theaters and HBO Max this weekend, there’s going to be a lot of talk about the new villains (or anti-heroes, if you prefer) that show up in the DC superhero film. And while you should really be excited for Idris Elba’s Bloodsport and David Dastmalchian’s scene-stealing Polka-Dot Man, many fans will have a keen eye on John Cena’s Peacemaker, as that character is already lined up for his own HBO Max series.

Over the weekend, The Times posted an article about the career of Matt Damon and how the idea of a “leading man” taking over the box office is dead. People love Matt Damon (well, until he offered up his story about using a gay slur…) and it’s true about how the box office isn’t nearly as reliant on a strong leading man.

James Gunn knows how to keep a good thing going. After breaking out with, the writer-director-fanboy auteur was brought up from the indies for Marvel's and its sequel,.
