Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has spoken up on the supposed rivalry between Marvel and DC by saying... there really isn't one. As reported by Heroic Hollywood, Gunn, who has worked with both Marvel and DC, took to Twitter to answer a fan's question about the "entire 'rivalry' and fans pitting both companies against each other?" "Honest to God, I can't remember anyone at either Marvel or DC ever condemning the other company." Gunn tweeted. "I think there's probably slightly less competition between Marvel & DC than between Marvel or DC & all other movies. After all, we are in very similar boats, relatively speaking." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/07/24/james-gunn-thor-4-takes-place-before-guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-3"] Gunn's journey to working for both Marvel and DC began with his firing and rehiring from Disney following the resurfacing of some of his past tweets. While fired, he worked out a deal with DC to write and direct The Suicide Squad, which will be a new take on the property that had a theatrical entry in 2016. After the whole ordeal, Gunn discussed the tumultuous experience and took full responsibility for his actions and said he holds no ill will toward either Disney or Marvel.

Last year, he responded to a fan and revealed what the most-requested song was for Guardians of the Galaxy was, and also why he would never use it. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us?
