DCU boss James Gunn clarifies his recent comments that Marvel Studios was "killed" by putting out too much content: "They were screwed by the situation they had no control over"

Chris Evans as Steve Rogers with the rest of the gang during the superhero movie, The Avengers. .

DCU co-head James Gunn says he didn't mean that Marvel was dead due to a massive increase in output, but rather that he's thankful that the studio is "on the other side of that now."

"To be clear, as IS clear in the context of the interview, I didn't say "it killed them" like they're over but they were screwed by the situation they had no control over," Gunn wrote on Threads. "They're on the other side of that now, which is good. The sacrifice-everything-for-streaming craze killed many good things by forcing a demand for 'content' that couldn't possibly be met, putting movies on TV before they had a proper theatrical run & much more. The insanity has died down & balanced out everywhere. Thank God."
