Bautista is a pretty unique case. Haha.
Dude is still going in on Disney here and there.
Personally, I hope Pratt stays far, far away from this. I kinda' hope he just goes away in general, at least for a while.
He's charismatic and funny, but -- not a very good actor. I would say he's actually a B-tier actor who got really, really fucking fortunate. But that's a conversation for another thread and another day.
Honestly, we might be seeing a turnaround very soon. Reaction to the latest Aquaman footage was a lot more positive than the first trailer and Shazam looks legitimately fun.
Just a reminder of what happened last time WB picked up a former high profile MCU director
Bit of a disingenuous comparison though isn't it fella

Would be awesome if he did. Still think his firing was a terrible decision. Feels like a somewhat perfect fit tbh.
Completely different scenario.Just a reminder of what happened last time WB picked up a former high profile MCU director
obviously
i should probably edit that and put a /s or something in it
If people don't like the films because they are to use your own words objectively inferior then what's the issue?
That explains a lot
I hope Black Manta is a part of this new Task Force X
Not similar and Whedon is wackJust a reminder of what happened last time WB picked up a former high profile MCU director

Yeah, gave us the only scene in the entire DCEU where Superman acted like Superman -- CG face aside.
Hard for me to imagine Gunn being enthused about this if it wasn't part of a reboot of the DC movies. Trying to force a film that is itself a reboot of its prequel, to fit into the cratered mess they got going just doesn't sound like it'd be interesting.
The idea that Gunn is this unbelievably talented director still kind of eludes me. Guardians 2 was far from stellar.
I wish they would just give him all the the DCU lol. Suicide Squad trailer had a great sense of humor and really made me excited for the movie. Then..I watched it. I'm just bummed how poorly the DCU went. I don't even dislike most of the actors(Leto Joker was awful though).
lol...lets not get crazy, no one has this kind of pull.
Also why would Gunn or anyone wanna get rid of her.
I love how every character Will Smith plays ends up just being Will Smith
There's no issue. I was merely poking fun at the idea that for a series of reasons everytime Gunn is name dropped ERA swoons, and DC movies tend to be the butt of a lot of jokes.
She's producing the Birds of Prey movie and that movie was given the priority over SS2 (see Krolls Tweet above).
They're two of the best reviewed movies in MCU and made a boatload of cash. Aside from just being your opinion, what does this even mean?
I hope so! Wonder Woman gave me hope and then the rug was pulled from under me when Justice League released.
Let's entertain that Gunn's name has this giant draw for a second.
Imagine the marketing for this movie.
"From the director of Guardians of the Galaxy and a lot of other movies you quite likely didn't see" is not going to work.
Marvel's gonna kick themselves over their knee-jerk reaction. The practically gifted him to their biggest competitor.
lmao that's fuckin' funny. If he actually signs on that's a great pick. Surprised out of all the DC properties he went with squad.
What weird turn of events. Lesson learned for Disney, don't give in to Nazis.

Compared to whedons lame ass tho hes a huge boon for any property
Look, I am not thinking rationally. I really want this to happen. But not at the expense of Harley.
It means that I think Gunn is good but nowhere near as good as others seem to think. Guardians 1 was great, Guardians 2 was eh. Just that.
... But all they would need is "from the director of Guardians of the Galaxy." Why would you need anything else in that sentence?
People argue over it on Era but you'll find many who believe Guardians 2 was at least as good as the original, if not better. I fall in the "better" camp.

You mean after 60% of the movie had already been finished by Snyder and they brought in Whedon to essentially create entirely new scenes with complete tonal shifts hacked into the mix?
"From the guy that was SUPPOSED to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 but Disney turned out to be a bunch of cowards..."
Guardians of the Galaxy is a Marvel property. I mean, I can see them do it (it's bold and it work) but the irony is fantastic. Having to namedrop and praise your direct rivals in order to prop your movie is... something.
