James Gunn Explains How His Role in DC Studios Is Different from Kevin Feige’s at Marvel

It’s been several months since James Gunn has been actively working on the new DCU, after being named co-CEO of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran. In fact, the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was already developing projects with competition from Marvel Studios, directing The Suicide Squad and writing a Superman movie.

However, now that Gunn has completely put his relationship with the Disney franchise behind him, he will dedicate himself fully to the future of Warner Bros. Discovery productions starring characters from the comic book company. Something similar to what Kevin Feige does at Marvel Studios, although not as similar as many believe.

Promoting the third and final installment of the adventures of the group led by Star-Lord, James and his brother Sean Gunn participated in Wired’s Auto-Complete Interview, where the director explained how his role differs from Feige’s:

“It’s actually a little different. I mean, number one, DC Studios is a studio, so it’s a little bit different. Peter Safran [co-CEO of DC Studios] does a lot of what Kevin Feige does. A lot of what I do is I just work on the creative side of things. So mapping out the stories and the creative side of the universe is my job much more so than some of the more administrative, executive-type stuff. And Kevin has to do both.”

As Gunn clarifies, he will be dedicating specifically to the creative aspects, while Safran will be in charge of working on the economic and production aspects of the future projects they develop. Faige, for his part, is much more like a producer but he’s also pretty involved in creative aspects, so Gunn is right when he says Marvel Studios’ head does both jobs.

What’s James Gunn Preparing for DC’s Future

DC Comics

Within the long list of movies and tv shows that Gunn and Safran are preparing just for the first phase of the new DCU, titled Gods & Monsters, there are some that are already moving forward.

On the one hand, the upcoming animated adaptation of Creature Commandos recently confirmed its cast, who will also play the characters if they participate in any live-action production. Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr, Maria Bakalova as Ilana Rostovic, Indira Varma as The Bride, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, David Harbor as Eric Frankenstein, and Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot are the chosen ones to lead the show.

In addition, days ago when the 85th birthday of the Man of Steel was celebrated, Gunn confirmed that he had already finished the first draft of the script for Superman: Legacy, a film that he is also going to direct with a new actor playing Clark Kent.

For now, DC fans can enjoy The Flash, the next movie from DC and Warner Bros. Discovery that hits theaters next month. After Ezra Miller’s adventure, in August. Xolo Mariduena will debut as Jaime Reyes in Blue Beetle, and later this year Jason Momoa will return as Arthur Curry in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
