Marvel Cinematic Universe Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo believes Marvel Studios needs to worry about the competition from James Gunn's new DC Universe.
James Gunn's new DC Universe should be a cause for concern for Marvel Studios, according to Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo. Gunn directed the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will conclude with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 this May. However, at one moment it appeared the director would not be back for the final movie, as he was fired by Marvel parent company Disney over past controversial tweets.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Ruffalo spoke at Emerald City Comic-Con about what Gunn's DC Universe reboot means to Marvel's MCU going forward. The actor was asked about what advice he had for DC — as the studio currently reboots the old DCEU into the new DC Universe — to which Ruffalo said "Marvel should be sweating" about Gunn's plans for DC's future.
I would say, hire James Gunn, cause nobody does it better. And Marvel should be sweating because James Gunn is a really gifted filmmaker and I think he's going to be amazing for that franchise.
Marvel's recent negative critic reviews and downward trend at the box office could not come at a worse time for the studio, as the new DC management begins a transparent process of fixing the old DCEU's mistakes and winning audiences back, with Gunn being the perfect man for the job. Gunn's DCU cosmic movies could fulfill his lost Marvel role. Gunn was once poised to be the architect of Marvel's cosmic side, branching out from his work with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Gunn has shown he understands the comics and what audiences want, be it at Marvel or DC, so the director is uniquely equipped with finally making the DC Universe a rival to the MCU. Gunn can make DC movies successful enough to take the box office crown from Marvel, with DC's Superman and Batman reboots in the horizon, alongside the MCU's current struggles.
