It was reported earlier that James Gunn would be done with the MCU as soon as the guardians of the galaxy end of franchise. The third installment will also serve as the final part of James Gunn’s trilogy. So far, there have been no such confirmed movies in the MCU where James Gunn is the director. It seems that following the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the director will likely only focus on the DC side of things.
James Gunn essentially revived The Suicide Squad franchise by being the director of the film released in 2021, The Suicide Squad. The director then joined in the making of the Peacemaker series that featured John Cena at the helm. James Gunn is truly a big name in the world of cinema and his acquisition by DC will certainly improve their situation in these times of turmoil and chaos.
Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is set to premiere November 25, 2022 on Disney+ while Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has a release date of May 5, 2023.
