Gunn was celebrating Clayface’s success with its budget and was on the process of writing his third Superman movie before getting this news.
This goes beyond superhero movies. Filmakers in general are suffering from right-wing billionaires trying to limit artistic expression.
James Gunn and Peter Safran found out that they were no longer going to be running DC Studios this past Friday.
Skydance co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz broke the news to them in person.

And in the wake of this DCU news, one must ask on a more serious note: what plan do all of our newly elected representatives have for addressing the gross media monopolies that have been enabled and allowed to fester over the past two years?

james gunn’s departure is extra upsetting to me because i genuinely did really enjoy how batman wasn’t an instant priority to be introduced and instead smaller characters and villains were built up instead, that was actually interesting to me!!
What happens when art becomes "content" is that it suddenly has to appeal to everyone all the time.

This scene alone is the reason James Gunn was kicked out of DC.
And this was the best representation of Superman or what he stands for… probably ever in media imo.

So many people asking themselves why DC can’t build a cinematic universe is funny because if you were there from the beginning the answer is very simple. During its inception the MCU was afforded two things DC never got: Time and Low Expectations.

This goes way past DCU & DC studios. If corporate overlords can overhaul Filmmakers artistic vision for their own views it's not just an attack on all Filmmakers but a way to suppress art

James Gunn started making films with reasonable turnaround times and they killed him for it
James Gunn was planning to make a 'Superman' trilogy
• He's already writing the script for the third one
• Plan was to release a film every 2 years
• Series could eventually lead to a Justice League team-up

Unfortunately just something I can not get behind
Iron Man, Thor, and the first Captain America were not massive box office successes, the MCU didn't achieve anything MASSIVE until that first Avengers movie
Also Supergirl??? Y'all remember the Hulk in 2008? Cut the bs
One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
• ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year.
• ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.

No fucking reason to be invested in any live action DC project going forward. This was the final nail.
James Gunn's DCU plans will be mostly dismantled, excluding what has already been filmed.

i'm so tired of the idea that art is only successful if it's been sanded down enough to appeal to literally everybody. sometimes your grandma isn't going to like a film and that's actually fine
New DC Studios boss Jeremy Latcham revealed to the Christian Broadcasting Network that he used to ask himself whether his grandmother would enjoy the Marvel movies he was developing
“I'd always say, I don’t know if my grandma would like that"
When her church drew parallels between ‘Iron Man’ and redemption during a sermon, he knew the film was connecting with audiences
