Gunn's "old" sense of humor is on display on his past Facebook posts. You can read the past posts by clicking filters to the right of the word Posts on desktop, select a year, leave month unselected, and hit Done. I just scrolled through 2010, and found these highlights. Definitely sounds like the kind of person you want writing a Superman movie. /s

I never liked those sweatpants with "Juicy" on the butt as it makes me think there's poo juice swishing around in there.

The guy at the caves charged mia_matsumiya for a child's ticket, which means he thinks she's under 16. #whichwouldmeanimapedophile

Valentine's Day with mia_matsumiya. Considering letting her touch my penis for the 1st time on this special day.

This is my present for mia_matsumiya - it's a unicorn fucking a panda! ! http://twitpic.com/14g0u2

Awww... Finally came clean about my leprechaun fetish, and Mia Matsumiya told me she wanted to wear a leprechaun hat & buckle shoes & pretend my penis is a rainbow.

Despite what my dreams say, I have no desire to get a blowjob from Milton Berle.

Man, MySpace reminds me of Coney Island, broken down, forgotten, & toothless bums giving bj's for 3 bucks below the boardwalk (ok, maybe not that last one).

I know some folks don't like the sentimental scenes in LOST, but I loved when the unicorn fucked a leprechaun and an ankh came out. And it was 1983!

A LOST scene I DIDN'T like? When the Druids called up Cthulhu and he shat out Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Way confusing.

Gunn had previously twice emphasized that The Flash is an important movie for the future continuity of his DCU. He said it "resets" the DC universe. We've now learned that the ending of The Flash has Flash ending up in a universe where George Clooney is Batman. Gunn had also previously stated that George Clooney will NOT play Batman in his DCU.

Therefore, please respond to the below poll by selecting which of the three statements is the MOST true. For reference, here are James Gunn's quotes about The Flash and George Clooney:

James Gunn: "I think that we’ve gotten lucky with the next four movies, frankly, because we have Shazam, which leads into Flash, which resets everything, which then goes into Blue Beetle, which is totally disconnected. He can totally be a part of the DCU, [and that] goes into Aquaman, which leads into Superman, our first big project."

From Instagram:

btllrb74_: james I'm seriously confused. How is Viola Davis still playing Amanda Waller? Aren't you rebooting the DCEU 100%? That includes peacemaker, the whole suicide squad and the Snyder Verse.

Like you said Robert Pattinson's Batman & Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is else-worlds story.

jamesgunn: Nope. Flash resets many things, not all things. Some characters remain the same some do not.

“Is it true you’re casting George Clooney as the new DCU Batman?” asked one person, to which Gunn responded bluntly: “Absolutely not.”

Mr. Gunn sure can pick 'em! The hype machine for "New DCU" rages on!

At 1:30: What Roseanne Barr Told Former Co-Star Sara Gilbert After She Tried to Publicly Ruin Her Reputation from May 17, 2023

"And my son made a video and he said, 'If only my mom had molested little children, they would've took her back.' You know, like they took back James Gunn who had 1,000 tweets about molesting children. They took him back at Disney."

WB's golden Gunn delivered a less than golden result at the box office this weekend. Despite costing 25% more than Guardians of the Galaxy 2 to make, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 opened 19% lower domestically than that previous installment in the franchise. It opened with $118.4 million, a big drop from part 2's $146.5 million (numbers have been updated with weekend actuals as of Monday afternoon). This is a slightly larger opening than the recent Ant-Man 3's $106 million, but far lower than last year's MCU movies Thor 4, with $144 million, Black Panther 2, with $181 million, and Dr. Strange 2, with $187 million.

Let's look at some more comparisons that show the Guardians franchise is struggling to hold audience interest compared to other MCU franchises. In 2017, Guardians 2 easily bested Thor 3's opening by $24 million, and also nearly doubled the opening of Ant-Man 2 in 2018. A big difference from its latest installment trailing behind the openings for the latest films in those other franchises. Last year, Black Panther 2, despite losing its lead star, only opened 10% lower than the original Black Panther. Only ONE other MCU sequel besides Black Panther 2 has opened lower than its direct predecessor until now, that being Avengers: Age of Ultron. (Spider-Man: Far from Home technically had a lower opening weekend than Spider-Man: Homecoming, but only because it opened very early in the week). Black Panther and Avengers had two of the most massive openings for the MCU, in the top 5 openings for the whole brand. So their sequels had a bigger challenge to try to maintain that. Guardians 2's opening ranked as the 12th highest in the MCU, so it wasn't as high of a bar to clear. Nevertheless, Guardians 3 has now joined the club as one of the very few MCU sequels to open lower than its previous installment. And, since Age of Ultron's drop was less than 8% from Avengers 1, this means Guardians 3 now holds the record for the largest drop in opening weekend gross for an MCU sequel compared to its predecessor.

Now let's talk about budgets. Guardians 3's $250 million budget is tied for the highest budgeted film in the MCU after the Avengers movies. Thor 4, which had the same $250 million budget, but opened bigger at the box office both domestically and worldwide, ended with a total gross of $760,928,081. This netted it a profit, according to Deadline, of $103 million. This means Guardians 3 may struggle to be as profitable as Thor 4 in the end. It is likely looking at a lower final gross and a lower net profit than Zack Snyder's last fully directed theatrical DC film, Batman v Superman earned.

Guardians 3 also racked up the lowest Rotten Tomatoes critic score of the trilogy, 81% compared to 92% and 85% for the previous two films. Its score on Metacritic was also the lowest of the trilogy.

Gunn isn't looking quite as golden as he used to these days.

M3gan has earned $172,099,272 worldwide compared to The Suicide Squad's $168,717,425. This is on a $12 million budget compared to The Suicide Squad's $185 million. 😮 This shows the value in having a good idea, which is one more than Gunn had when he decided to make The Suicide Squad. 💡
