Now that both Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. / DC have set out their stall for the next few years, IGN took the opportunity to ask Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn for his thoughts on the rival superhero slate during a promotional interview for the upcoming home-entertainment release of the blockbuster space opera.
“[I’m not sure] if it’s interesting or not. The truth is, it’s a list of titles, and if they’re done well they’ll be good, if they aren’t, they won’t be good. But I think we have a little bit more of an idea of what we’re getting with Marvel. I mean, we know the actors, we know the characters — we’ve seen movies with these characters. You have some idea of what’s going on already. We’ve told a big part of the story. With DC, they haven’t told the story yet.”
As for the possibility of Warner Bros. using Darkseid – the DC character who “influenced” Marvel’s Thanos – in its Justice League movie, Gunn responded: “That would be pretty weird, I think. That would be a strange choice.”
How do you think Marvel’s slate stacks up against DC’s? Let us know your thoughts…
