    I bow to Gunn but I was hesitant with him helming Superman..

     

    After watching Guardians 3, I take back everything I said

     

    His ability to garner empathy from subjects which unfairly receive apathy such as raccoons (Suicide Squad did this, as well, with rats) proves a perfect match for Superman. Gunn's heart is sappy but earnest, and he has an uncanny devotion to character arcs and realizations of self-discovery through teamwork+family. And 3 displayed a more mature handling of his unwavering attraction to provocation and juvenile humor (which works for stuff like Super or Suicide Squad, but occasionally overbearing in previous Guardians movies). He uses banter and irreverent comedy in 3 as a means of levity and Superman movies need levity

     

    Agreed. He's going to do an incredible job with Superman.

    Disney MUST make it clear this is only coming out exclusively in theaters, say ONLY IN THEATERS in all the trailers and online ads. Otherwise everyone will assume this is another Pixar movie coming out day 1 on D+, and most won't watch it in theaters.

     

    Yeah, we are in this mess right now. Thanks Chapek. Iger has a lot of work to do to build up the Pixar brand again.

     

    This.

     

    With Guardians 3 in the rearview mirror, I think The Little Mermaid and Elemental will be the Disney's biggest priorities. And I expect the premiere at Cannes to be the start of their final marketing push.
