The Suicide Squad’s James Gunn Shares Support He Got From Marvel, Wants The DC Feud To End

Even though he’s now working with the MCU’s chief rival on the superhero movie front, James Gunn has revealed that the folks over at Marvel Studios are incredibly supportive of him working on The Suicide Squad for DC, and Gunn is advocating that DC and Marvel fans follow suit and stop feuding with one another about these companies.

Starting off, here’s what James Gunn had to say about the gift he received from some of the Marvel Studios bigwigs:

As you’ll see on James Gunn’s Twitter thread, his time working on the Guardians of the Galaxy movies has been beautifully chronicled in a scrapbook. Hopefully there are a few blank pages towards the end of this book where some Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 memories can be pasted.

While I’m sure that the Marvel Studios leadership would like it if Gunn could tackle Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 sooner, as was the original plan, it’s nice to see that they’re showing their support for him overseeing The Suicide Squad right as that sequel/relaunch/whatever it is begins principal photography. Just because DC and Marvel are competitors doesn’t mean people from one side can’t be happy for someone who’s lending their talents to the other side.

Which brings us to the second half of James Gunn’s Twitter thread, where the filmmaker asked for DC and Marvel fans to come together and enjoy what both companies are offering rather than keep feuding. In his words:

Obviously it’s okay to have preferences when it comes to Marvel, DC and any comic book company, but there’s a difference between that and needing to “tear down” the other side. Realistically speaking, it’s unlikely DC and Marvel fans will ever stop bickering amongst each other, especially where the movies are concerned, but it’s nice to see Gunn remind us that it is possible to enjoy both rather than pick one or the other. Ultimately it all leads to more comic book-related content being churned out.

James Gunn is now one of the few directors who’s gotten to work for both Marvel and DC, and he’s getting to do so at the same time. But as mentioned earlier, Gunn is firmly focused on making The Suicide Squad right now, and it’s only when the final edit on that movie is completed that he’ll hop back on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which he spent a long time writing.

The Suicide Squad charges into theaters on August 6, 2021, and while Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 doesn’t have a release date yet, it’s expected to be part of the Phase 5 slate. As for what’s coming to the silver screen for the rest of this year, scan through our 2019 release schedule for that information.

Karate Kid Actor Rob Garrison Has Died At 59

Imahe
8 hours ago Of the many classic ‘80s movies that have transcended their time, 1984’s The Karate Kid certainly stands out. It’s iconic, immensely quotable and lives on over 30 years later after its release with YouTube’s highly-successful Cobra Kai series. It’s a sad day for Karate Kid fans because Robert Garrison, the actor from the Cobra Kai karate crew known as Tommy has passed away at 59. Robert Garrison died Friday morning in a hospital in West Virginia after suffering kidney and liver problems there for over a month. His death was a result of his organs shutting down, Garrison’s sister-in-law Linda told TMZ. Funeral arrangements are currently in the works by his family. Garrison began his Hollywood career as a child actor in the late ‘70s, appearing in films such as Lost and Found and Prom Night, starring scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, before landing his most famous role of Tommy in The Karate Kid at 24. His Cobra Kai character utters the famous line “Get him

Doctor Sleep: How Different Was The Movie From Stephen King's Book?

Imahe
6 hours ago You might not realize this on the surface, but the new Ewan McGregor film Doctor Sleep is a sequel to Stephen King’s classic novel, The Shining . In addition, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan has made sure that his film connects to – and builds off of – Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film of the same name. When it comes to film adaptations and the works of Stephen King, though, Hollywood has been hit and miss. Sometimes, a director and screenwriter stay incredibly faithful to King’s vision, leading to satisfying horror adaptations such as Misery , Carrie , Gerald’s Game and the recent, two-part It . Other times, the source material of a Stephen King novel or series is completely ignored or reworked to the point that you can’t even recognize the story any more, and we get a movie like The Dark Tower . Yikes. Doctor Sleep falls much closer in spirit to those adaptations that faithfully interpret King’s words. It retains the plot and tone of King’s book, bu
