'Suicide Squad' Director Urges DC and Marvel Fans To Stop Feuding

An anonymous reader quotes Cinema Blend:At the beginning of 2019, approximately a half year after James Gunn was unceremoniously fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, it was officially confirmed that he'd be jumping to the DC universe to write and direct The Suicide Squad. Then, just two months later, Disney and Marvel reversed course and rehired Gunn to helm Guardians 3, though because he boarded The Suicide Squad in that interim period, he's tackling that DC tale first and then will jump back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Even though he's now working with the MCU's chief rival on the superhero movie front, James Gunn has revealed that the folks over at Marvel Studios are incredibly supportive of him working on The Suicide Squad for DC, and Gunn is advocating that DC and Marvel fans follow suit and stop feuding with one another about these companies... "As I've said so many times, at the end of the day, Marvel & DC fans have a lot more in common than they do not. I am now & have been for almost all my life, both. Maybe you like one more than the other - that's cool - but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them all or that you have to tear the other down. I know I & my partners at both Marvel & DC believe what's good for one studio is generally good for all: spurring each other on daily with heartfelt, spectacular & innovative entertainment that keeps audiences around the world loving movies based on or inspired by sequential art..." Meanwhile Joker, the newest film in the DC Extended Universe, set a new box-office record for a film opening in October, beating the record previously set by Marvel's Spider-Man spinoff Venom. Rotten Tomatoes currently shows Joker with an average critic's rating of 69%, placing it behind Dreamworks' Abominable, as well as Ad Astra, Hustlers, the Downton Abbey movie, and Judy -- but with a much higher audience score of 91%.
