In a new fan Q&A session via his official Facebook page, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn reveals that he could've directed a DC Comics film adaptation in the past, prior to his involvement with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Gunn goes on to add that he's no longer interested in helming one of their films, a statement which comes on the heels of a previous Tweet where Gunn revealed that while he's certain there'll be a third Guardians film, he's unsure about whether he'll return to direct. Is he feeling a bit of superhero fatigue?
Gunn went on to add that IF he were interested in directing a DC film, the IPs he's most interested in tackling are Shazam, the Metal Men, Swamp Thing and Jonah Hex. When a fan noticed that those were all male heroes and asked if there was any interest in any of DC's female superheroes, Gunn replied, "Maybe Batgirl. Cassandra Cain version." There was probably little chance that Gunn was going to say he wanted to tackle the Stephanie Brown version....
The outspoken Marvel director also offered up praise for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel but admitted that he has yet to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice or Suicide Squad.
