James Gunn Responds To #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix Hashtag; Says He Has Spoken To Zack Snyder

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has responded to the latest bizarre SnyderVerse hashtag, explaining why this particular social media "movement" makes very little sense...

Say what you will about those damn Snyder stans, they are nothing of not persistent!

The #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement did ultimately yield the desired result when Zack Snyder's Justice League was announced, so a small minority of fans appear to be under the impression that similar campaigns may pay off... either that, or they just really enjoy pissing people off online.

Either way, more and more of these Snyder-related hashtags continue to pop up on social media, and recently-appointed DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has now responded to the latest.

Gunn Tweeted an image of Swamp Thing (Logan director James Mangold is set to helm the planned movie), and when the first response included #SellTheSnyderVerseToNetflix, the filmmaker shared the following.

Arguably the biggest takeaway here is that Gunn has had a conversation with Snyder, possibly in relation to doing something with the shared DC Comics-based universe he was so integral to, but more likely with an eye to working on something new for the DCU.

Gunn also confirms that the DCU will have a "multiverse that’s connectable in places," so perhaps there is room for at least some of the Snyder-era characters and storylines to continue and/or connect as "Elseworlds" tales?

UPDATE: Snyder shared this follow-up Tweet.

What do you guys make of Gunn's responses? Be sure to share your thoughts down below.

“ but more likely with an eye to working on something new for the DCU.”

If you included his next tweet you’d know that’s not the case.

As a ZSJL fan, these people need to understand that Netflix legally CAN’T make these movies. These characters are property of WBD and any unauthorized use of these characters would be a massive lawsuit. Like duh!

@ProudPatriot76 - These people know that. They are saying DC should sell the rights to Netflix to let them continue the SnyderVerse. But yes, they are idiots. As DC would let someone else use the same characters they are building a new franchise with. Like, their logic makes no frigging sense, and yet every day there's some new post of Facebook about it.

It's gotten past the funny point and crossed over into the sad and pathetic territory.

@ProudPatriot76 - Hahaha, thanks man. Someone at my old job like 15 years ago stole 140 frozen corndogs out of the break room freezer that another team was going to make for a potluck lol. So I've been using it as my screen name on everything ever since lol.

@ProudPatriot76 - Take some time to learn about licensing before commenting.

@sully - fully aware. But no way is WBD going to release these characters to Netflix when WBD has their own plans.

Gunn is a better man than I am, I would've called them "f*cking idiots" if it were up to me.
