How about GotG, GotG 2 and IW combined?
Well, that precisely is Marvel's game. Sign actors to multi-movie deals for a lower price with the guarantee that they get steady exposure in some of the biggest blockbusters worldwide for a couple of years.

For a lot of actors that kind of exposure is more important than a big pay-day because getting your name out and above box office hits is how you secure your next couple bags.

Cool, just saying multiple films = the Marvel bag people are referring to.

Where do people get the idea of this mystical 'Disney bag' from? You brehs do know that Marvel paid most of their talent a couple of pennies and two favors for years, right?

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if WB threw the bag at Bautista too, you gotta remember his small role in Blade Runner 2049 was very well received and WB had their hands in that movie too.
Batista stuck.

MCU contracts have a no compete clause specifically regarding DC

Batista is a "bro before hoes" meathead ass dude thankful that Gunn gave him his first big break. He'll probably follow Gunn to the grave.
No he’s not at all your judging abook by its cover . Man is a staunch democrat/progressive/liberal and he doesn’t like that the issue was already brought up before Gunn apologized and Disney moved on then right wing trolls this year tried to get revenge on the snowflakes . He’s also a loyal guy who thanks Gunn for giving him his first big role. He’s a surprisingly softapoken and sensitive dude

That’s the rumor but nothing is official so I wouldn’t believe it until it’s from a good source. I’ve read writers theorizing it may mean that but that’s just them theorizing
A little off topic but is the joker movie and the Suicide Squad Joker two different joker's in the universe?

Yeah I believe so. But like I said before there’s comic book precedence for that. Just don’t know if a mainstream audience is ready to hear about a multiverse

Yes. It's not the same universe. There's no connection between SS and Joker starring Phoenix. WB is doing 'Elseworlds' stories and Joker the film is the first of those.

WTF????? This is an awesome fukking move for WB. They're not Disney. They don't have to worry about that family friendly bullshyt. They could make Suicide Squad either an hard PG-13 or even R. They can go low budget and pull out something along the quality of Deadpool or Deadpool 2 and make a ton of money. They can say that, "Well, Suicide Squad isn't meant to be family entertainment." Which is exactly what all the MCU haters hate about Marvel. Even the non haters say that they want more properties that are for adults. They can turn around and say that they believe that James Gunn has changed and he's not what he was 10 years ago. That they believe in him and believe in redemption. Gunn can then go and put out a movie that knocks peoples socks off, and no one will be talking about what he posted on twitter a decade ago.
