\u00a9James Gunn<\/p>\n How do Gunn and Big Sean know each other? According to Big Sean in a 2024 interview<\/a> with Complex, they were one-time neighbors:<\/p>\n He ended up being my neighbor for a while, and I don’t want to say what event occurred, but an event occurred where the whole neighborhood was outside, and he’s like, \u201cBig Sean?\u201d I’m like, \u201cJames Gunn, what the fuck?\u201d We started connecting, and I’m an ultra comic nerd. And I was talking to him like, \u201cMan, I just saw Guardians of the Galaxy, but I love how you changed it up from the comic book.\u201d He was like, \u201cDamn, come over and smoke a cigar with me and talk.\u201d We ended up just kickin it, and he’s like, \u201cMan, come on set with me while I’m doing Superman.\u201d Of course, I’ve been busy and haven’t made it, but we’ve been in contact. That’s my boy, though\u2014not even playing like James Gunn is my dog. <\/p>\n The inaugural Crunchyroll Anime Future Forum took place at the Javits Center in New York City on Wednesday. The Forum’s website<\/a> describes the event as a \u201c[gathering of] creators, innovators, and industry voices defining anime today and where it goes next.\u201d The program included a keynote, interactive sessions, hand-on technology experiences, and networking.<\/p>\n Crunchyroll announced<\/a> the event in May 2026.<\/p>\n Sources: James Gunn’s Instagram account<\/a>, Crunchyroll Anime Future Forum’s website<\/a><\/p>\n![\"james-gunn-crunchyroll-anime-future-forum\"](\"\/thumbnails\/max600x600\/cms\/interest.3\/242630\/james-gunn-crunchyroll-anime-future-forum.jpeg\")
