James Gunn on stage

The man who brought the Mystery Machine to the big screen is said to be working on a project for DC. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the writer and director of The Suicide Squad and theGuardians of the GALAXY trilogy is working on a DC movie.

According to the trade, he is in talks with Warners for a mystery movie, possibly more, and that he isangling for his own DC project. All of which is vague, but the caveat is that if the project is peacemaker season 2 will be finished first.

His trajectory through the superhero genre has been very well known. After making an excellent film on the subject, Super, he exploded into the mainstream with a film that many fans could have predicted would be great. He jumped into the sequel but was fired from the next movie after some of his old posts came back to haunt him. He took his talents to DC and made a movie. The film's spinoff, Peacemaker, was an equally awesome and irreverent take on the movie. He was brought back to complete his trilogy. The film will be released May 5, 2023.

According to this report, the director will return to DC. Is it for a single film? Is it more than one? Is it related toSuicide Squad? Is he going to tackle something bigger than Superman or Batman? Whatever he has up his sleeve is worth getting excited about because of his track record.
