James Gunn Reveals How Being Fired By Marvel Influenced 'Superman'

Before jumping ship to helm The Suicide Squad and eventually oversee the entire DC Universe, James Gunn directed the MCU's best and most consistent trilogy: Guardians of the Galaxy. The first two entries were major hits, but progress on the threequel was halted when old tweets by James Gunn surfaced featuring homophobic jokes, and the director was canceled and fired from the project. After months of deliberation, Gunn was brought back by the studio to complete the trilogy, resulting in one of the best MCU movies in years in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. That might seem like a distant memory to some fans, especially with the gigantic updates to DC Studios, but James Gunn had it in the forefront of his mind while writing the DCU's first movie: Superman.
