DC Studios co-head James Gunn has defended his decision to focus on some of the company’s more “niche” characters as he develops a slate of movies and TV shows. The filmmaker responded to a user on the social media platform, who criticized some of Gunn’s creative choices, particularly singling out the likes of Sgt. Rock and Swamp Thing headlining their own projects. Gunn explained why these characters are just as deserving of the spotlight as some of DC’s heavy hitters.
What’s more, this approach could help the DC Universe combat superhero fatigue. Audiences have been treated to films featuring the likes of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman before, and while there’s still a place for those titans in Gunn’s franchise, balancing them out with Swamp Thing and Sgt. Rock will keep things fresh by highlighting characters audiences aren’t familiar with. There will be a sense of novelty when those films come out, similar to how was a breath of fresh air for Marvel.
