It shouldn't be news that an executive producer is doing their actual job but that's the state of Hollywood right now.

This is after it was budgeted and cast. He killed it the day before they were going to start filming. This is unusual. I assumed he hoped that they could fix the script before the filming date but that didn't happen.

I just hope the Pattinson sequel happens and he keeps his corny paws off it. I say that as a true Gotg fan but Gunn is not the only voice I want in my superhero movies

I need to

  1. Catch up on DCAU movies, I don't even know how many I'm behind... More than a few
  2. Watch Peacemaker? Is it good? I fucking loved The Suicide Squad (one of my favorite comic lines when I was regularly getting comics).
  3. Also rewatch The Batman finally

Why not just film 50 times more footage than you need and finish the movie in the editing room? That never goes wrong.

If James Gunn kills half of the hollywood perpetual motion machine churning out cape shit, that will be his life's greatest achievement. Even better than Gags of the Galaxy.

I'm just pointing out this got significantly farther than most other unmade screenplays. It's an outlier.

Apparently Gunn listened to the hack and was going to remove the red tights on the outside, until David Corenswet said no, we are keeping the tights.
