Recently , Gunnwas asked on Twitter about both Marvel and DC ’s process when he writes in something that would become canyon for either caller . Gunn responded , pronounce that " people overrate the interaction of both DC & Marvel " when it comes to that , say that most of the feedback on newly write work that would become canyon is in service to " making the fib in effect . "   The film director does cite rare state of affairs when legalities are involved or if something he indite contradicts another project he ’s incognizant of , but for the most part , writing and create new content for either companionship that becomes canyon simply " does n’t come up . " Here ’s the exchange :

While Gunn is currently filmingGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3 , the writer / director has more projects on this plate afterward . Gunn write the handwriting forWile E. Coyote , a funniness set in the ACME warehouse ( which domiciliate everything used by theLooney Tunescharacters),which will starPeacemaker ’s John Cena . The director has also received the greenlight for aPeacemakerseason 2 , of which he will write / direct all episode . Gunn has also cod another DC project for HBO Max , but has keep details under wrapper , only say that it would be significantly unlike thanPeacemaker .

It can be sluttish to believe that any and every creative decision at both Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. ( DC ) would be under a microscope , in particular when it call for a apportion macrocosm , but ultimately , both studios have to put some storey of trust in the filmmakers they charter to create and enlarge the belongings they ’re work with . One can only imagine how difficult it would be to write any handwriting or direct any picture while being perpetually oppugn about every military action , motivation , introduction , and reference . There should always be some kind of accountability in terms of contradiction and criminal maintenance of the overall imagination , but withoutfilmmakers likeJames Gunnor Zack Snyder or Matt Reeves or Christopher Nolan or The Russo Brothers , etc . interpose their sensibilities into the employment without being constantly scrutinise , it would in truth be filmmaking by committee , which is neither entertaining nor visionary .
