Before taking on the job of co-chairman and CEO of DC Studios, filmmaker James Gunn cut his teeth on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. In one of his first acts as CEO, Gunn says he paid homage to those roots by calling up Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, his old boss and mentor in his time with the MCU.
"Once I was done with Peacemaker, I had to do Guardians 3, and then when I was about ready to jump [back] into Peacemaker, I got hired to be the head of DC," Gunn explains in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "As soon as I got that job, I made a couple of calls, and the first one was to Kevin Feige telling him that I'm taking the [job as] head of DC."
