Before taking on the job of co-chairman and CEO of DC Studios, filmmaker 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn cut his teeth on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. In one of his first acts as CEO, Gunn says he paid homage to those roots by calling up 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, his💞 old boss and mentor in his time with the MCU.

"Once I was done with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker, I had to do Guardians 3, and then when I was about ready to jump [back] into Peacemaker, I got hired to be the head of DC," Gunn explains in an interview with . "As s෴oon as I got that job, I made a couple of calls, and the first one was to Kevin Feige telling him that I'm taking the [job as] head of DC."

Gunn doesn't explain what was discussed, but it seems safe to assume that the convꦦersation centered on Gunn's new role in relation to Feige's, and how DC and Marvel might co-exist in the superhero movie𒆙 space.

It's taken some time for Gunn to get his new DC Universe fully into place, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Creature Commandos serving as the first official entry in the DC Studios canon, with Superman coming up as the first big blockbuster of Gunn'ꦺs tenure. He's also turned his attention back to the long awaited second season of his hit DC streaming series Peacem🥀aker.

"The second [call] was to John Cena, and I said, 'I'm getting this gig, and I still want to do Peacemaker, but it'𓃲s going to have to wait. We're going to have to get Superman working first'," Gunn says, explaining the gap between the first and second seasons of the show.

Now, Superman is now gearing up to hit theaters on July 11, with the premiere of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2 following on August 21.
