James Gunn has expressed his thoughts on the long-lasting Marvel vs DC debate and claims that both parties would stop this perceived rivalry as both companies benefit off each other’s success. In a series of tweets Gunn states:
“As I’ve said so many times, at the end of the day, Marvel & DC fans have a lot more in common than they do not. I am now & have been for almost all my life, both,” Gunn tweeted. “Maybe you like one more than the other – that’s cool – but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them all or that you have to tear the other down… I know I & my partners at both Marvel & DC believe what’s good for one studio is generally good for all: spurring each other on daily with heartfelt, spectacular & innovative entertainment that keeps audiences around the world loving movies based on or inspired by sequential art… Let’s go, team(s).”

Gunn will be the first director to helm both a Marvel Studios film (in the form of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1/Vol.2) and a DC title with The Suicide Squad, although The Avengers director Joss Whedon did oversee reshoots of Justice League.
