Pictures<\/p>\n<p>Even though he doesn\u2019t direct the upcoming \u201cSupergirl\u201d film, DC Studios co-chief James Gunn says the comparisons being made between it and his \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy\u201d movies aren\u2019t unfair.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing on the <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/awards-circuit-variety\/id1536666553\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Variety Awards Circuit<\/a> podcast, Gunn says director Craig Gillespie\u2019s new film is very much the work and vision of Gillespie himself: \u201cWell, I mean, \u2018Supergirl\u2019 is Craig Gillespie\u2019s vision, and it\u2019s very much. I love him so much. He\u2019s a great guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gunn says the film is a \u201cspace fantasy,\u201d which naturally draws comparisons to the tone of \u2018Guardians\u2019:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love Millie Alcock in the movie, and I think it\u2019s a space fantasy, which is like \u2018Guardians\u2019 in a way, but it\u2019s based on the Tom King book, but it doesn\u2019t follow it religiously, but it has a lot of the core of that there, and I\u2019m really excited for people to see it and to see Millie. It\u2019s going to be awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gunn was also asked about the impending sale of Warner Bros. to Netflix, to which he gives one of the more optimistic takes out there \u2013 even as he admits no-one has any real idea where it\u2019s all going to:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo I have hopes? No, I really don\u2019t because everything\u2019s unknown.  I think it\u2019s all really exciting, frankly. So I hope and pray for the best. And I\u2019ve been through these sorts of changes so many times that I\u2019ll always be careful what you wish for because you don\u2019t really know until you know. And I hope it goes well, and I think it\u2019s exciting, you know, every direction has really exciting things for DC, so I\u2019m excited about where it\u2019s going to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSupergirl\u201d is currently set for June 26th 2026 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warner Bros.
