Nah. I actually want to keep Gavin on that. Give him Lobo.
Green Lantern -> whatever other movies ->Blackest Night and make Blackest Night a two-parter with other movies in-between.
I really hope that all the ridiculously deluded conspiracy theorists that were thinking that there was "smoke" and that it wasn't just the tweets comes to their senses soon; he is in demand because they've vetted him and understand what they're doing when hiring him.
No blockbuster director would ever slum it up directing a CW show.
I kinda want him to stay on, because Guardians 3 and Eternals and etc.
But, I feel like Marvel will find good talent for those movies so... I kinda want him to go to DC because he'd be the hope in that (almost) hopeless place.
Esepcially in hollywood. Have a few hits under your belt and be a white dude and you be set. Hell Matthew Broderick killed two people and came back to have his best year ever
Yeah fired him for good PR, that backfired so spectacularly that now hiring Gunn would be great PR for another studio.
Of course they care.
With the slate they have who would they kill off to make this worthwhile? A two part Blackest Night would just be Infinity War except those who disappear come back as zombies.
They would be better going with Sinestro Corps War because it requires less shit from everyone else and it's miles better than Blackest Night.
I think he is going to finish GotG3 and then leave Marvel.
This is a pretty tasteless comment, to be honest. He didn't fall, at all.

Disney:"But the Nazi told us the man was toxic and his name alone would mean boycotts! You're telling me the Nazi LIED to us? "
Guy makes well received, hit movies falls upward. Uh huh.
Plenty of people in the hundred other Gunn threads going on about how this was going to ruin his career.
And he won't do it.
"Okay, I guess I'll do DC's space thing," is not how Gunn will look at the situation. If he can't do Guardians, he'll want to do something different.
They must not have been paying attention to hollywood in general
Lot of people want that Marvel Money and aren't concerned with "Brand Integrity" in the way Disney is. Considering James Gunn basically pulled a magic trick with an IP barely anyone knew about and made it into a cornerstone of the Marvel Franchise, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that everyone wants some of his magic too.
I'll be curious, since Marvel does seem to be finding their space between them and Disney. If Gunn likes working with Feige or even just the characters, I can see him sticking around.
CBS All Access should scoop him up and make a Star Trek spinoff that's basically just Farscape, which is basically just Guardians of the Galaxy.
Get Dave Bautista to throw down with Seven of Nine.

be a fucking travesty if he was giving the reigns over Patty Jenkins
If he does join WB, which I think he won't, he absolutely will be given more power over Jenkins. The GotG movies made more than WW
well yeah no shit. it's an established person in Hollywood. You people acted like his firing was like ruining his life or some shit.
WW is the only DC film with nearly universal praise. It was kneecapped with an inadequate marketing campaign and budget. Remember they were already hyping Justice League before WW was out.
That alt-right goblin probably lost his boner when the realization that he didn't manage to ruin Gunn's career sets in. If anything, he gave Gunn leverage to use for his next career move. If he stays within the Disney umbrella, he could probably renegotiate his terms. And if he no longer works with Disney, it'll be a bidding war to get him on other projects.
But that's assuming the alt-right goblin can think of more than one thing at the same time.

Hamada has control over the DCEU but there are no plans for a crossover any time soon so the need for a figure as involved as Fiege might not be as pressing.
I hope he doesn't get it to you by the end of the day I was in the shower and then I'll be home
An end all verdict hasn't been issued? Bullshit, they said they were effectively cutting all ties with Gunn immediately in their initial press release.
Disney are backpedalling so hard at this point. If they're going to keep him around to do a different marvel movie, then why not just go the whole hog and reinstate him on Guardians 3?
