Cena points out that Gunn’s filmmaking is defined by his readiness to take risks and his pledge to provide a meaningful and real cinematic experience. This approach promises an exciting and unpredictable future for the DC Universe, whether or not Peacemaker plays a role in it.
“I’ve never seen people so prepared and who take it so [seriously] and have so much passion for it and aren’t afraid to be themselves. What you will see from DC in the future is the heart of James Gunn. He is not going to leave anything on the table. He will not make a vanilla movie that says ‘movie’ on the end of it and then serve it to you.”
