James Gunn on the tone of future cosmic Marvel movies

August 18, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Back in April, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige revealed that Marvel’s cosmic characters are set to play a huge role in the Cinematic Universe post-Avengers: Infinity War, with Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn helping to steer this aspect of the MCU through Phase Four and beyond.

Gunn has already revealed this month that work is underway on scripts for these new cosmic films, and speaking to Collider to promote the home-entertainment release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the filmmaker was asked whether we can expect these to be similar in tone to his two Guardians movies.

“No, I don’t think so,” replied Gunn. “I would hope that [with] the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole, every movie has its own unique feel and tone.  And so, if it’s a James Gunn movie, it’s different from a Ryan Coogler movie, which is different from a Taika movie, which is different from a Peyton Reed movie.  I think all the movies can be their own genre, they can be their own thing in the same way that if you grew up reading Marvel Comics, all the writers and the artist of the comic books brought very different tones to each of those.”
