Hasn't there been talk that the upcoming merger will pretty much see Gunn ousted, along with his plans?
Exactly. Gunn/WB show how little they care about WW by developing Brave and the Bold alongside Reeves' trilogy and The Joker movies. We're about to get three separate movie versions of Batman's mythos at the same time! With this approach, there's absolutely no reason why WW3 couldn't be made.
I'm not rooting for Gunn's projects to fail but
1. We have no idea if CC will even make reference to Circe being a WW villain and it's entirely possible she's killed off there. After how Cheetah was treated in that Catwoman faux-anime, I think fans have a write to cautious with how WW villains get treated in non-WW projects.
and
2. We've had no developments on the Amazons show and frankly we've heard rumors of an Amazons show going back to the 2017 movie, it's entirely possible Gunn just took that and tied it up into his big project.
The most Gunn's done for WW at the moment is when he shot up Historia in the Amazon sales after the bad news coverage he got with no WW3.
You never know, but I seriously doubt that is the case especially with the Amazon serie also announced. They just go together to well. Cheetah absolutely had terrible portrayal there and I also normally is nervous, but that doesn't have anything to do with Gunn
I definitely can be the reason why Gunn did that, but he just as easily could have cancelled them like he did with other projects.
Gadot outright quoted something Gunn said to her in one of Gadot's interviews. If Gadot was lying about that, Gunn, who is always online, easily would have commented that Gadot was lying. He did not. Instead, he had an "insider" speak to one of the trades reiterating Paradise Lost was the only Wonder Woman project WB had in the works. If someone "lied" to the media regarding my intentions by literally quoting something I said to them in a meeting, a quick, "that meeting and that quote never happened" would have sufficed. That is not how Gunn responded. Gunn obviously "lied" to Gadot.
You act as if Gunn is some unknown quantity. He's been in the movie business for more than a decade, and I've watched several of his movies. I've also watched how his DC Films Studios has been just as chaotic with drama and ambiguity as the last few DC Films regimes. I don't like Gunn's humor, I don't trust Gunn to make strong female characters, and I definitely don't trust him to make a strong Wonder Woman film. I also don't like the casting decisions he's made thus far except for his Lois Lane.
If I'm incorrect, I will happily enjoy his content, but I doubt I'll be incorrect.
I'm ambivalent regarding Gunn but it is far too early to call his regime chaotic.
And a merger of Warner Bros and Paramount would be terrible for the entertainment industry and the customers in the long run.
Yeah, we don't need any more giant entertainment media mergers.
