澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn has talked abou♛t the differences betwee𝕴n directing with DC and Marvel.

When asked by if he sees big variations between how the two studios build their franchises, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director sa🎃id: "Yes, but not as many as people probably think. There's no doubt Kevin Feige is way more involved with editing than people are at Warner Bros. He gives more notes. You don't have to take them and I don't always take them... The truth is, as Marvel goes on and Kevin Feige starts to amass ownership of half of all film in general, he's more spread out."

The director also talked about DC's less uniform approach to the DCEU, commenting "that is the one of the ways in which DC can distinguish itself from Marvel" and explaining his work in the MCU is different to other Marvel filmmakers', "but not as different as Shazam! and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suicide Squad." He added: "I think the current batch of folks over at Warner Bros. are really interested in building out a world and creating something that's unique to the filmmakers. We're in a strange time, so anyﷺthing can happen."

Gunn then discussed the DCEU's multiverse-based approach to the movies: "I do find, because of the ability to do different stuff in the DC multiverse, it's fun. They're starting to really resemble their comic books. The Marvel Universe has always been a little more cohesive, and DC has always had more great single runs. They had The Dark Knight Returns. They had Watchmen. They had The Killing Joke. They had Alan Moore's Swamp Thing. The fact that they did Joker, which is a totally different type of movie, that to me is cool. I'm very excited about Matt's movie [澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman, directed♊ by Matt Reeves]. They're getting some really good filmmakers involved. They're always going to be hit or miss – I just don't want them to get boring."

The director recently told our sister publication 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine that superhero movies are 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"mostly boring to me right now," which helped inspire the genr🦹e-blend of a war mไovie and a superhero flick in The Suicide Squad.

The film is due out for release in the US in theaters and HBO Max this August 5, and slightly earlier in UK cinemas on July 30. Until then, check out how to watch 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC movies in order to get up to speed on the MCU.
