Gunn wrote, "Not only do I love Kevin, he was the 1st person I told after I did the deal with DC (@JohnCena was the 2nd). Contrary to popular belief, a dollar less for Marvel is not a dollar more for DC. DC & Marvel have the common goal of keeping the theatre-going experience vibrant & alive! (sic)"

Another one penned, "I think people need to stop with the ‘us versus them’ stuff with everything. Things can coexist and be positive and friendly."

James Gunn has so far directed several Marvel and DC projects, including Guardians Of The Galaxy series, The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker and the animated series Harley Quinn. He is also directing Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special and Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3.
