Right off the announcement that James Gunn was directing The Suicide Squad, which is aiming for a 2021 release date, some fans are still divided over whether the creative should be getting work. And while many have already made up their minds, most fans stand by the director, who was fired from the Guardians threequel gig due to a right wing campaign to unveil nearly decade old joke tweets.
Those close to the situation understood how crucial Gunn was to the franchise. Gunn's style and connection to the characters was so deep, that even the Russos brought him in to write dialogue in both Infinity War and Endgame, so its only fitting that several other new wave auteurs are standing by him as well.
Throughout this past week, directors Edgar Wright (Baby Driver), Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse) and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnorok) were suggested by a fan as potential replacements for the Guardians franchise. But to them only James Gunn is the right man for the job.
