James Gunn may unseat the director of the new Batman movie and take the helm on his own

The head of DC Studios, James Gunn, may personally take over the director's chair of a new Batman film called The Brave and the Bold. This will not be hindered even by the fact that Andy Muschetti has already taken the position, the World of Reel portal writes.

DC has a difficult situation with Batman right now. On the one hand, a film starring Robert Pattinson is expected to be released relatively soon. This picture will be shot by Matt Reeves.

On the other hand, Reeves' film is set outside the new DC universe that James Gunn is building. Therefore, the film The Brave and the Bold, which will be within the framework of the universe, should be very different so as not to confuse the audience.

It's a difficult task, and Gunn has already called Batman his biggest challenge. The head of DC noted that the character needs to come up with a real reason for existence, not limited to the fact that he is just famous.

All this responsibility could be the reason why James Gunn himself would take the helm of a new film. However, it is worth noting that there is no official confirmation of this information yet, and Andy Muschetti is still listed as the director.

Recall that Gunn pays great attention to the film The Brave and the Bold. Recently, he sharply responded to the haters and stood up for the new screenwriter of the film, Christina Hodson. Some fans were outraged by her appointment, given Hodson's work on The Flash.
