Ever since Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy writer and director James Gunn started working for that other comic book house too, it seems like, between him and the producers, it was love at first sight.

DC took a chance and hired Gunn after Disney, the owner of Marvel Studios, fired him from the director’s job on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. And what a coincidence, one day after he was hired by DC, Disney and Marvel Studios decided to bring him back. President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige agreed to put the production of Guardians 3 on hold until Gunn finishes his DC project.

Warner Bros and DC initially wanted Gunn to make another Superman movie, but Gunn didn’t like that idea, so they said to him he can pick any DC property he wants to make a movie about. Gunn decided to make The Suicide Squad, which was kind of both follow-up and the reboot to David Ayer’s Suicide Squad from 2016. The Suicide Squad was released in August 2021, and Gunn also developed a spin-off TV series centered on John Cena’s Peacemaker, which is set to premiere in only two days — January 13.

Gunn is currently back at Marvel where he’s filming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Guardians of the Galaxy The Holiday Special. But, after he finishes that, he’s already set to develop another project for DC. President of DC Films Walter Hamada revealed last year that Gunn will continue working for DC after The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, and Gunn now revealed that his next DC project will be another TV series.

“It’s TV. There you go. You know, we’re stepping forward. It keeps happening. We’ll see what’s happening, and I’ll know what’s happening very shortly. I dealt with it last night and this morning.” — James Gunn for Collider

What could this next project be about, no one knows, except Gunn of course. It wouldn’t be a surprise if it’s one more spin-off about some other character from The Suicide Squad. We wouldn’t mind seeing Idris Elba as Bloodsport again, or even any of the other characters that Gunn presented in The Suicide Squad last summer. Who knows, maybe it could be Weasel.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
