Why are people blaming Gunn for Flash, Shazam, and Black Adam?
As much as I liked Cavill as Superman, people need to stop acting like he wasn't the star in two movies that should've been layups, one that didn't make it pass $900M and the other that stopped at $653M.
Gunn is probably like
and
checking those numbers because he was the clown who fired both Cavill and Gadot thinking that he knew what he was doing but with these multiple flops people are realizing that he screwed up given that he and the director put in 3rd stringers like Supergirl and the Flash.
And Michael Keaton who hasn't played batman since the early 90's.
But if they had instead used Henry Cavill instead of Supergirl and Ben Affleck instead of Michael Keaton as the main batman this movie would have done $90-$100 million.
Gunn had nothing to do with Flash and Supergirl, or Keaton.
fukking Justice League did less than $94M opening weekend. The fact that $90-$100M is considered a good job for a movie featuring Batman and Superman just highlights how fukked DC's foundation is. It's why Gunn was brought in to clean it up.
Blue Beetle comes out soon, even though Gunn says his character will be part of his universe, and Aquaman 2 in December and after that, it's all Gunn.
