Don't understand why anybody is considering this good news.
Sure, he made Guardians of the Galaxy, which is one of the few palatable Comic Book movies out there, but he's just a woke piece of trash and just another part of the current slew of medium-talents running franchises that are way out of their league.
James Gunn is one on a very long list of Hollywood employees that shouldn't hold any job that don't require them to ask "would you like fries with that".
ALSO: Bob Iger coming back to Disney is terrible news. Not that Chapek was much better, but Iger is the one responsible for destroying all your beloved franchises and Chapek's failures were mostly just him holding the bag.
Stop bringing these people back. Fire all of them or go broke.

so, for me and the wife, it's been a complete lack of trust in expectations of movies that has kept us from going to the theater.
She particularly enjoys the date experience.
But at $70 for tkts and popcorn We have very few movies that we trust to deliver.
I honestly have cranked up probably 15 movies this season at home that i couldn't get 20 minutes into and just turned em off...even if I rented them...
Disenchanted
Thor Love and....
etc.
if anything I felt bad and embarrassed for some of the actors who in the past have delivered good product and are obviously being directed so very badly.
had we set aside the time, made a date, paid the $ and settled in at the theater.. I woulda been really pissed at the tripe they are producing

I'm sure a lot of that is lack in trust of critics as well.
They're all in on the grift, so how are you supposed to even know what you might want to see?
Not everything out there is total trash.
But yeah, I think a lot of folk are done gambling away good money on what is probably going to be regrets. Especially in this economy.

I don't think I'd be too excited about a new D&D movie.
Wizards of the Coast just got railed for something they just did to aleniate and piss off not only long-time D&D fans, but authors and creators of some of the many scenarios dating back to the 80's. I'd tell you more than that, but aside from some PC based video games I enjoyed as a child I don't know much about D&D.
But even before woke was a pejorative, the D&D movie that did come out was a dumpster fire, save for Jeremy Iron's hamming it up.

Godzilla Minus One
