Director James Gunn could be using secret information about Marvel Studios’ plans for his own benefit.
James Gunn achieved worldwide fame when it premiered Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014, little-known characters from comics but who became the most popular in the Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe. To a large extent, thanks to the spectacular casting and the plot that had the right dose of humor, emotion and action. In 2017, the sequel premiered and re-presented a great story that was more successful than the previous one.
When they already had plans to close the trilogy, the great controversy came. Since because of some ancient tweet tasteless, Disney decided to fire the director and had to leave Marvel Studios. At that moment, Warner Bros was quick and hired him to make the movie he wanted with characters from DC Comics. So in 2021 it premiered the suicide squad. But while preparing that story, James Gunn Y Disney they made peace and it was confirmed that they will Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, which will be released in 2023.
But… The director may be taking revenge for the dismissal.
James Gunn could have anticipated Marvel Studios and the story of Peacemaker could be suspiciously similar to the series Secret Invasion which will premiere in Disney Plus.
Attention SPOILERS. Nowadays peacemaker is being broadcast on hbo max, while Marvel Studios is rolling secret invasion and the stories may be very similar. To begin with, the program written and directed by James Gunn and starring John Cena It is about a government group that has the mission to kill some people they call “butterflies”. They are actually aliens that are inside humans controlling them. But in the fourth episode we can see how the character of Clemson Murn, interpreted by Chukwudi Iwuji It is one of them. So, there would be two sides, one pro-human and one anti-human. Which means that we could get to see a kind of Civil War Come in “butterflies” to end one of the two factions.
While, Marvel Studios could be doing something similar with Secret Invasion. Since instead of small extraterrestrial beings, on Earth there are Skrulls They have the ability to transform into humans. Many of them are in favor of humanity such as Talos (Ben Mendelsohn). While there could be some younger Skrulls who want to bring glory back to the Empire and for that they want to conquer the Earth. That’s why there will be a Civil War between those two pro-human and anti-human factions.
So the similarities between both series can be very evident. Something that James Gunn working at both film studios he knew and still has moved on. Now, he is shooting in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 and has even hired the actor Chukwudi Iwuji from the series peacemaker.
We will have to be attentive to both series to see if they are as similar as they appear. Meanwhile, we can see all the Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe in the Disney Plus streaming platform.
