James Gunn Was Offered SUPERMAN By Warner Bros. But Will He Bring Krypto To THE SUICIDE SQUAD?
A new report reveals that James Gunn had his pick of DC Comics adaptations, including a new Superman movie! However, he chose The Suicide Squad but could the filmmaker bring a certain canine to the team?
Earlier this week, we learned that Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn will indeed write and direct The Suicide Squad. While the movie is sort of a sequel to David Ayer's movie, the filmmaker is looking to essentially reboot the franchise with a cast made up mostly of new characters (chances are the likes of Harley Quinn and Deadshot could return but who knows).
Interestingly, The Hollywood Reporter has now revealed that in a bid to bring Gunn to the DC Extended Universe, Warner Bros. offered him his pick of properties, including - get this - Superman.
Unfortunately, it's said that he never seriously considered taking the helm of a Man of Steel sequel but he "did take a shine to the Man of Steel's superpowered dog Krypto during his comics research." Does this mean that Krypto could end up being part of Task Force X?
We know that Gunn is a dog lover and he's no stranger to CGI creations after bringing Rocket and Groot to the big screen. Krypto would also fit right in if we're getting a slightly zanier take on this team and it's easy enough to imagine the government unleashing an obedient animal with the same powers of Superman on its enemies!
