Whenever Mark Ruffalo is about to give an interview, someone at Marvel Studios gets spooked. And for a good reason, as the man who plays Hulk is quite a talker. Notorious for giving away major movie spoilers, Mark Ruffalo has been talked to by the top Marvel bosses for disregarding their years of secrecy. But instead of spoilers, this time he’s heading out advice, like how letting go of James Gunn was a bad idea.
This time, though, executives at Marvel are likely to hear him. Mark Ruffalo has come with this appreciation of the former MCU filmmaker. Before being in charge of the DC, he directed the ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ for Marvel. Mark Ruffalo believes that Marvel “should be sweating” now that James Gunn has joined the opposition camp.

When Marvel hired him, James Gunn was an independent filmmaker still practicing his craft. After delivering Marvel box-office success with both ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy,’ he became a prominent filmmaker voice in the MCU. However, he was fired by Disney as his controversial tweets from his past emerged on the internet.
DC took this opportunity to bring Gunn to their fold. After his work on the ‘Suicide Squad’ reboot, Marvel hired him to back for the third and final ‘The Guardian Of The Galaxy’ movie. James Gunn and Peter Safran were hired to guide DC Studios in a new creative direction. Despite the outrage of DC fans, the duo is committing to bringing DCU on equal footing with the MCU.
James Gunn and Peter Safran plan to revamp the franchise with new projects such as ‘Superman: Legacy,’ ‘Creature Commandoes,’ ‘And Booster Gold.’ Be it the firing of Henry Cavill or questions over an actor’s political ideology, the former ‘Guardians‘ filmmaker is doing a great job so far. With James Gunn now at the helm of creative control, an exciting rivalry between DC and MCU will unfold.
