James Gunn is well aware of the backlash to the early creative decisions he has made as the new co-head of DC Studios. But he's not backing down.
In a statement shared Monday on social media, Gunn addressed the "disrespectful outcry" over his and co-chairman Peter Safran's vision for the DC Extended Universe. The "Suicide Squad" filmmakers, who were appointed to lead DC Studios in October, have been heavily criticized in recent weeks for making major changes to some of the production company's most popular superhero franchises.
"One of the things Peter & I were aware of when we took the job as heads of DC Studios was a certain minority of people online that could be, well, uproarious & unkind, to say the least," Gunn wrote in his statement.
