Eh. The last thing I want this turning into GOTG 2. Let him direct but not write. In generally don't care for him to be honest.

The big reason I liked SS was because of the characters they used and the actors for them. Lose them and I really have no interest in a sequel. They're starting at square one again to give my attention and money. I imagine that's the case for a lot of people that went to see the film for Robbie's Harley and Will Smith's Deadshot. The actorys and the how diverse that cast was, was one of the main factors that film did as well as it did. If Gunn is going to come in and very likely do away with all of that for what he wants then I'm on the outs until I see something the pulls me back in. That's even assuming he gets the job.

I will say, completely partial in this regard, I'm just happy to get some DC news that people are reacting positively to for a few hours!

I can't see them recasting people that were popular like Harley, Deadshot, or Waller. I mean, you keep those three and just replace the rest with new villains and it's a new movie. Put in Killer Frost, a bruiser or some kind, and one more. I'd even keep Flagg and Katanna.

I didn't like GOTG2, found it boring but the first was good.

Anyways a get is a get and James Gunn on squad is a win. We really do need mquarrie tho, GLC could be insane.

For SS2, you keep the majority of them, the casting wasn't a problem the story was.

GOTG is trash.

The only exciting part about this news is how it upsets MCU fans. lol

Free yourself from loving only one heroic universe. There's goodness and joy everywhere.

Yup. I like GotG1 quite a bit, but really didn't care for GoTG2 at all. Not sure why Gunn being on a DC movie is supposed to change that.

Same reason folks who hates Bendis at Marvel are all onboard now that he's at DC. Some folks get weird about folks who aren't playing for their team. It's best to just go where the goodness is. James Gunn is a good creator, as Bendis is. If Disney is dumb enough to let him go, I'm glad WB and DC are picking him up.

So who is Dave Bautista playing?

I'd keep Harley, Deadshot, Waller, Boomer, and Flagg. Maybe Katana, but she would be better suited for BoP, I think. Dump Croc and Enchantress, replace with Killer Frost and Bronze Tiger.

Not a big fan of GOTG but I'm interested to see what he will do with the franchise, it cant be worse than the first one.

Reading the OT thread, you do also see the opposite with Marvel stans implying Wonder Woman trash and so on. People are weird.

Anyway, I don't like the suggestion of Batista as Bane. If he had to be involved, there are other characters to play.

One thing DC has lacking is a proper Justice League theme (fuck you Elfman). Justin Hurwitz should get in the DCEU, make him the goto guy.

I like that Aquaman got the Wonder Woman 1 guy composing. Hopefully he works up a good theme.

With Superman dead, Wonder Woman is the only character with a strong recognizable theme.

Elfman's Spiderman and Hulk themes are really damn good

but when he came to help out Whedon he churned out some forgettable basura. both at MCU and DCEU.

Upside of Whedon/Elfman on Justice League was Zimmer hearing what was done and coming back for Wonder Woman 1984.

I still can't get over the fact WB hired Whedon to course correct their ship. Fucking Tsujihara.

Patty Jenkins already course corrected it with Wonder Woman. Then Whedon then turned hard right and capsized it. Of the numerous mistakes with Justice League, not delaying it was one of the big ones.
At least Kevin got his bonuses. That made everything worth it.

PS people still believe Snyder wanted Batman to get raped lol

iirc King Shark was gonna be in Suicide Squad 1, but they didn't want a full CGI character so they went with Croc.

Honestly think people are intentionally obtuse when it comes to that, or it's people who bought into misinformation and keep repeating it because that's how people carry themselves nowadays. Not to mention the irony of bringing it up in a Gunn thread.

We can at least expect a better made movie than what we've been getting. It may not be exactly what everyone wants but I'm confident that it will be a good movie. I'm also confident that he will reign in the humor and have it be appropriate to the source.

If Gunn is a comics guy, I also hope he gets in on the creative table for the DCEU. Marvel wanted him to spearhead the MCU cosmic world so he must know what he's doing.

If we get GOTG 1 gunn and not GOTG 2 gunn, WB in a good spot. Didn't really care for part 2, it had good moments and all, but it never reached the highs of part 1 for me.
