The Suicide Squad: James Gunn says Marvel supported his DC project
After posting new behind-the-scenes photos from The Suicide Squad’s table read (which you can check out below), James Gunn conducted another Q&A session in his Instagram post’s comments. One of the fan questions that was asked was about Marvel’s reaction when Gunn had decided to take on the DC Project. The Guardians of the Galaxy director responded by revealing that Marvel was actually very supportive of his decision, with Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige and Louis D’Esposito even visiting him on the set of The Suicide Squad.
“I told Kevin Feige before I took the job and he was very cool and supportive as he always is,” Gunn answered. “He just wanted me to make a good movie. He and Lou D’Esposito even came to visit the set and watched us shoot. There isn’t the enmity behind the scenes like there is in the fan community.”
