James Gunn wins, but Peter Safran quietly secures

The soap opera in DC continues. James Gunn is once again in the spotlight after Warner released the spectacular trailer for ‘The Flash’ during the Super Bowl a few hours ago. Not everyone is pleased with the president of DC Studios championing a nearly complete overhaul of the cinematic universe featuring the studio’s characters, which breaks away from the universe established by Zack Snyder in 2013 with ‘Man of Steel.’

Gunn is being scrutinized by his followers on social media, especially Twitter. And even more by his detractors. There is a trend among some people who argue that the tone of this filmmaker’s films does not fit in with the DC universe. They fear he will imprint this same flavor on future Warner superhero films.

Gunn hasn’t been intimidated at all. He is unusually active on Twitter compared to other filmmakers with similar visibility. It’s part of the paycheck. He uses the vehicle to show DC fans what he’s doing and to respond harshly to critical fans.

There is one very important thing that we should not lose sight of, whatever the case. There are others in the boat with Gunn. At his side, someone else is steering the helm of DC Studios. Junto a él. Few people are paying attention to her. Warner Bros’ executive president is David Zaslav. At the end of last October, Peter Safran, a British director and producer, was also appointed to lead the studio Discovery, holding the same position as Gunn. Both are co-presidents of DC Studios. We can be sure it is a well-measured move.

Gunn is very active while Safran is more low-key, but they coexist harmoniously.
Gunn’s strong leadership at DC Studios may seem suspicious since he is not the sole leader. Even though he occasionally repeats that Safran is sailing alongside him, this is the image he displays. All these movements seem to respond to a carefully orchestrated strategy if we review the steps the studio has taken over the last three months.

Over the years, James Gunn has earned a reputation as Hollywood’s enfant terrible. El transgresor. El rebelde. Disney fired him in 2018 due to controversial tweets displaying an attitude described as “indefensible and inconsistent with the studio’s values.” Gunn publicly explained his position and expressed remorse.

Many people know how I got started in my career. I saw myself as a provocateur, making outrageous and taboo films and jokes. “My work and my humor have evolved as I have evolved as a person, as I have discussed publicly many times.”
In March 2019, Disney hired him again. ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ finished by Gunn will be released on May 5, coinciding with the release of a new trailer during the Super Bowl. History.

James Gunn’s public persona is the perfect opposite of Peter Safran’s profile. That’s why I believe it’s time to reflect on this chapter in Gunn’s life. Gunn seems to fit well into the role he’s currently playing for Warner, as we’ve just reviewed.

None of this is a coincidence. One thing is certain. Safran continues to weave the web that will hold the future of DC superheroes, while Gunn keeps all eyes on him. Paso a paso. His partner in adventure must be capable of dealing with fans and detractors alike, bringing peace of mind.

It makes sense seen that way. It seems like a good strategy. El tiempo lo dirá. The value of the work that James Gunn is doing is not diminished by this. We are witnessing his strong presence in the creative decisions. Peter Safran’s statements suggest that his focus is on supporting Gunn’s creative responsibilities without distractions.

Its future is in their hands as the studio they lead is at a crossroads. Gunn’s. And Safran’s. The product is what really matters to us fans. Las películas. The best thing that can happen to us is for them to be on par with iconic characters who no longer belong to them. DC doesn’t own Batman and Superman. They belong to everyone. They are in our collective imagination’s DNA. Hopefully, the proposals of these two filmmakers meet the high expectations of fans and moviegoers.
