A devoted follower of James Gunn expressed, highlighting how his work addresses significant societal topics. They pointed out that Suicide Squad critiqued US imperialism, Peacemaker tackled white supremacy and toxic masculinity, while Guardians of the Galaxy 3 depicted a villainous corporation exploiting and tormenting its people in pursuit of a so-called “perfect” world. It’s clear to them that Gunn is adept at delving into these weighty matters. A fan tweeted,

“James Gunn mocked US imperialism in Suicide Squad, in Peacemaker he dealt with white supremacy and toxic masculinity and in GOTG 3 the villians were an evil corporation creating a “perfect” world that exploit and tortures its people. Idk seems like he can tackle serious issues.”

James Gunn will soon be taking over the directorial duties for Superman: Legacy. He claims the film will not focus on the origin story of Superman; instead, it will show a fresh take on the powerful DC character.
