“I dislike the at-times corporate nature of the job (thanks to Peter for taking the brunt of that),” he composed. “I’m always a very hard worker, but as a filmmaker I would at least get to take short breaks to unwind, and I’ve stolen even that time from both myself and my loved ones over the past four years.”
After apologising to his better half, Jennifer Holland, he continued, “And the thing my ADHD hyperfocus has had the most difficulty with has been dividing my time between projects I’m incredibly passionate about and the ones I’m not so much and all the things I have to do as a studio head.”

He firmly insisted that he and Safran are not “immediately done” with DC tasks, as the Superman follow up Man of Tomorrow, which Gunn composed and directed, will still be launched in summertime 2027.
In addition, they’ve “just been engaged on another DC project” that Gunn is composing. He likewise guaranteed fans that the characters they’ve established throughout their run “will live on”
