Here are the tweets, which were captured by Fox News:

1. Many people who have followed my career know when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo. As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 20, 2018
2. It’s not to say I’m better, but I am very, very different than I was a few years ago; today I try to root my work in love and connection and less in anger. My days saying something just because it’s shocking and trying to get a reaction are over.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 20, 2018
4. For the record, when I made these shocking jokes, I wasn’t living them out. I know this is a weird statement to make, and seems obvious, but, still, here I am, saying it.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 20, 2018
5. Anyway, that’s the completely honest truth: I used to make a lot of offensive jokes. I don’t anymore. I don’t blame my past self for this, but I like myself more and feel like a more full human being and creator today. Love you to you all.

that's that.

Oh boy. Disney's loss is going to be DC's gain, big time. Could this even result in quality DC films?

Probably not, most DC movies are killed in the editing room after marketing executives run focus tests on the existing movie.

Edit - similar to the shit in the first Suicide Squad

Warner Bros. has just confirmed to io9 that James Gunn is in discussions to write, with an eye to direct, the next installment of the Suicide Squad franchise. He’ll have a completely new take on the property.

This is huge news for a few reasons. First and foremost is the fact Gunn, who was fired from Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, has gone to that studios direct rival, DC Entertainment. It feels like a very calculated reaction to what many felt was an unwarranted decision (one you can read all about in detail at these links) and creates a whole new chapter in the epic struggle between Marvel and DC.


Second is the movie at hand. Gunn is reportedly taking a totally new approach to the property so this isn’t exactly a sequel to Suicide Squad. What exactly that means? We do not know. But obviously, from the Guardians of the Galaxymovies, Gunn has proven his ability to make movies with multiple strong personalities work in a comic book setting. Really, who better than to tackle a new Suicide Squad movie?

And though, right now, he’s only writing the film, if he ends up directing too, it’s going to become one of the most highly anticipated comic book movies in quite sometime.

The new Suicide Squad movie is being produced by Peter Safran and does not yet have a release date. You can read much more about the movie’s journey at the below links.

hopefully this makes the suicide squad sequel better

Well, James Gunn's extensive love for sodomy probably gives him plenty of skill in polishing turds.

Literally best way anyone ever said "Eat shit, Disney."

That's very Suicide Squad was so bad, so very bad and the entire movie can be summed up as 'This can't be right'. I didn't even finish watching it because I suspected that I had pirated a joke version with deliberately nonsensical editing.

Aside from his spergery about politics, he makes a good writer. It would be nice to see him stick it up to Disney on the superhero movie market.

Does DC and Warner Bros are that desesperate and that suicidal? They hired James Gunn for Suicide Squad 2.
