Warner Bros ville se James Gunn regissera ny Superman-film

James Gunn är åter igen aktiv i form av Suicide Squad som går upp på biograferna i augusti. Nyligen har han talat ut om hur det var att bli sparkad av Marvel, att han finner de flesta superhjälterullar tråkiga och en del annat, och nu berättar han att han blev erbjuden att göra en ny film om Superman. I slutändan blev det däremot aldrig så, utan istället föll lotten på Suicide Squad.

"They proposed that to me, Toby Emmerich [the Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman], he works out with my manager, and every morning he would say, 'James Gunn, Superman. James Gunn, Superman.' At that time I said I can't commit myself to something right now. It was traumatic. I had to deal with myself. I just have to take a step back. So I took the different possibilities of projects I could work on, and for a month, every day I worked on a different project. I really wanted to make sure that whatever I was going to write was going to be a great story, and if it worked out and I felt like directing it, I could. Suicide Squad was just the one that came to life immediately."
