DC Comicsin pomona paistatteleva James Gunn on joutunut DC-fanien vihan kohteeksi siksi, että hän on kovassa touhussa markkinoimassa seuraavaa elokuvaansa, joka on Marvelin Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Ensi-iltaa vietellään 3. toukokuuta.
Gunn kommentoi tilannetta Instagramissa vetäen homman ironiaksi eli suomeksi sanottuna läskiksi. Reaktio oli sen mukainen.
The worst business that DC could do was to hire someone who advertises the competition. Unbelievable, now can you imagine what their movies are going to be like??? I think it's a disaster.
Myöhemmin Gunn tähdensi, että Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on vielä saatettava loppuun.
The last thing DC would want is someone who would spend the last 12 years of his life creating a series of films, and then turn his back on his last movie. I wasn't hired at DC without everyone on board being very clear and supportive up front and continuously through this process.
