Granted, this has probably been cooking for a while now, though Captain Marvel making half a billion probably helped speed things up insofar as 'Marvel overcoming internet bile'.

Yeah, saw this earlier today. I guess Disney finally figured out they'd done something monumentally stupid--or at the very least, that they didn't want to hand over the golden goose to WB/DC.
I'm somewhat surprised that Gunn would do them the favour of going back to them after the way they treated him, but as a fan, I couldn't be more pleased.
My favourite gags I've heard about this so far:
- "I don't know who this James Gunn guy is, but he's got some pretty big shoes to fill."
- "Damned Gunn rights activists."

Common sense has finally prevailed, yes what Gunn said was wrong there is no denying that but those comments were made over a decade ago, I'm not the same person i was a decade ago & no doubt Gunn regrets his comments & like many of us including me has matured over time.

From the sounds of the reports they are still letting him do suicide squad 2 and gaurdians 3 will be after, so i gues the buggest winner is Gunn in the end. oh and best gag ive heard. “Huh, i guess you can unfire a Gun” |

Grrrrrr......was hoping guardians 3 had been scrapped after the travesty of the 2nd movie.......lol
Good move for fans but not sure it was the smartest move either firing or re hiring him.........
Disney recently are making the most stupid decisions, spending billions on Star Wars only to go and try a alienate the people who kept it going for 40 years......trying to take on Netflix with only a hand full of exclusive and before it can show much of it own properties.......hiking prices at it Disney resorts buy up to 50%.......

And then there’s David Llewelyn’s spot-on reaction  |

A total reboot? Hm... Well, at this rate, that's probably the best course of action. Can't say I was all that attached to the first Suicide Squad - it wasn't as bad as BvS, but it's definitely not a good movie either. At this rate, though, the only way we're going to get a cohesive DCEU is if that Flashpoint movie there was talk about gets made. That's if they even bother with a cinematic universe from this point on anyways. |

WB/DC really badly needs their own equivalent of Kevin Feige to manage things properly, because they’ve obviously not had that so far.
I think we may be straying a bit off topic here though...

LOLZ, it's all connected topic wise (unlike DC movies HEHE).. Each movie seems to be a "course correction" of the prevous IMHO.

Good grief, it all just sounds like a mess. I mean, Grant Morrison's a good writer - though I've only read All-Star Superman - but this whole situation just looks really disorganized and unfocused, just like the majority of the DCEU. |

I dont like that idea. It doesnt need to be, they could just kill off some of the original cast in an opening action scene and go from there |
