James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad premiered Friday with $12 million at the North American box office. By way of comparison, 2016’s Suicide Squad opened with $64 million. That’s a MASSIVE decline and while COVID wasn’t an issue in 2016, neither was WarnerMedia’s streaming platform, HBOMax. This is what happens when a company is willing to […]
When I saw the Official ‘Early Access Do Not Share’ Trailer for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad I assumed that it was a clever marketing strategy on the part of Warner Bros, which would fit what I know of James Gunn, personalty-wise. Well, I might have been wrong because according to Superherohype the The Suicide […]
Earlier this week a trailer was released for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, the sequel/soft reboot to David Ayer’s Suicide Squad (2016) and I didn’t like it nearly as much as I thought I would. Part of the problem is Ayer’s movie is often criticized when no one has actually seen it – and you […]
According to The Wrap James Gunn has returned to Marvel Studios to direct Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 3! How this change of events came about I have no idea, but I imagine it puts Disney in an awkward position because they overreacted to some tactless, stupid Tweets from James Gunn’s past. I suspect that […]
This is an AMAZING trailer on so many levels. First off, it reads as a retelling of the Superman origin story, which can’t be an accident. Though what’s even more interesting is that it reads as if said origin were reinterpreted by Zach Snyder. I honestly don’t know what to think about it, except […]
I predicted that Ant-Man And The Wasp would earn somewhere in the ballpark of $100 million+ on it’s opening and while that didn’t pan out a domestic opening over $70,000,000 is just fine. That being said, overall I enjoyed it though if I could suggest one change to the producers it would be to tone […]
According to Comicbook.com fan-favorite (at least THIS fan) Nova is being considered for a role in the MCU by the president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige (despite James Gunn not being particularly fond of the character). That’s probably fairly obvious, but did you know, attributable to the same source, that Moon Knight is also particularly […]
I understand James Gunn (Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 1 & 2) says that Marvel Studios isn’t competing with DC Entertainment and that there’s no bad blood between the two studios. Which also happens to be a perspective shared by Kevin Feige and Geoff Johns (the heads of Marvel Studios and DC Entertainment, respectively). That […]
I caught James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2 last Saturday and what I found so impressive overall was the way Gunn managed so many stories and plot threats in a way that was not only cohesive, but made sense. Because–and trust me on this–there are so many ways Guardians could have easily collapsed […]
It’s James Gunn’s world, we just happen to live in it. Reason being, reviews of Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2 have begun to filter in, and they’re pretty good. Though what’s interesting is that they’re not ALL that way, yet there’s not been a peep from either Marvel or Disney as a result. This […]
