James Gunn Subtly Criticizes “Most Studios” While Discussing His Creative Process: “Quality is of utmost priority”

by

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent navigating the labyrinthine world of cinematic universes, I can wholeheartedly appreciate James Gunn‘s no-nonsense approach to filmmaking. His unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail, as evidenced by his refusal to begin production without a completed script, resonates deeply with my own gaming ethos – “Save often, plan thoroughly, and never leave a level unfinished.

James Gunn is keeping a hectic workload, as the filming for ‘Superman’ recently concluded a few weeks back and the production for the second season of ‘Peacemaker’ continues. He’s working diligently to breathe new life into the DC Universe from the remains of the troubled DCEU, which has left fans excited about the fresh direction. However, Gunn still encounters some debates and controversies along the way.

Gunner, renowned for his contributions to the “Guardians of the Galaxy” series, has often faced criticism from disgruntled fans, particularly due to the conclusion of the DC Extended Universe and a range of other matters.

On social media platforms, James Gunn is known for regularly debunking misunderstandings and explaining his creative journey. In a recent interaction on Threads, a fan asked if the schedule for future projects could potentially shift due to an uncertain release schedule and hinted at possible alterations in the order of releases.

Gun made it clear that the projects weren’t rolled out in a fixed order and the main adjustment was regarding the Waller television series. He underscored that they would never commence filming a project before having a completed script, which isn’t a standard practice for all studios.

Filming without a finalized screenplay may result in unexpected expenses because last-minute alterations or extra filming sessions to match revised scripts can dramatically boost costs. Illustrative instances are Daredevil: Born Again, which underwent extensive re-filming due to significant script modifications, and Captain America: Brave New World, whose budget inflated following additional re-filming.

James Gunn’s method of not starting filming until the script is fully completed may be the reason why he rarely needs reshoots, as he recently mentioned. He subtly suggested that the upcoming “Superman” movie, scheduled for release in 2025, will likely avoid needing reshoots, which has delighted fans.
