James Gunn has built his brand on being the straight-talking, fan-friendly filmmaker who tells it like it is. But after the Peacemaker finale and his constant attempts to control the DCU narrative, that honesty is starting to look more like ego. He’s overhyping, underdelivering, and arguing with fans when he should be letting the work speak for itself. The best thing James Gunn could do right now? Stop talking.

In a world where audiences are used to getting burned, offering closure would be a rare and powerful move.
The Rock Tried to Hijack the DC Universe — And Lost
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson thought Black Adam would be his ticket to running the DC Universe — complete with Henry Cavill, power lunches, and a potential executive role for his producing partner. But when the global box office fell short, Warner Bros. passed the baton to James Gunn, ending one of the boldest behind-the-scenes plays in franchise history.
