James Gunn reveals his 3 favorite comic book movies

In case you hadn’t noticed, the ‘Top 3’ trend has been sweeping social media all weekend, with countless users and famous faces alike weighing in to name their trio of preferred comic book adaptations. As one of the most Twitter-happy household names out there, it was inevitable we’d be hearing from James Gunn eventually.

No stranger to the world of superheroes and/or spandex having directed Super, two Guardians of the Galaxy movies, The Suicide Squad, and HBO Max series Peacemaker, on top of producing R-rated evil Superman story Brightburn, shooting Stan Lee’s Doctor Strange cameo, and executive producing Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, it’s an understatement to say Gunn is in a strong position to offer his thoughts.

The conclusion to an all-time great trilogy tools up on streaming

Tim Burton’s re-imagining had left such a sour taste in the mouth that the knives were out from the second it was first announced the Planet of the Apes franchise would be rebooted yet again, this time with Rupert Wyatt at the helm.

As it turned out, we needn’t have worried, because the filmmaker’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a critical and commercial smash hit. However, things were taken to the next level when Matt Reeves came on board for the final two chapters, with the series now regarded as one of cinema’s all-time great trilogies.

No, we’re talking about official tie-in LEGO merchandise.

Godzilla vs. Kong, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and The Batman are just three recent blockbusters to have seen plot points, costumes, or supporting characters revealed ahead of time, and Thor: Love and Thunder has been joining that list over the last couple of weeks.

With less than a week to go before Matt Reeves’ The Batman hits theaters, the director is opening up about whether other superheroes from DC, including Superman, could possibly show up in sequels.

Obviously, there’s already a shared universe out there that features the likes of Wonder Woman, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and the HBO Max hit show Peacemaker — but Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight exists in his own separate pocket of the mythology, with Reeves instead using the term “Batverse” to describe his his world.

A relentlessly mediocre sequel hits #1 on streaming

We’ve been conditioned not to believe anyone who says the latest installment in a money-spinning franchise will be the last, so we were always skeptical when creator James DeMonaco touted The Forever Purge as the final entry in the dystopian series.

Sure enough, Frank Grillo confirmed that he was on his way back as Leo Barnes, with DeMonaco admitting the only way he’s making the film is with Grillo’s involvement, or he’s not doing it all. That particular trail may have gone cold in the last few months, but The Forever Purge has exploded in popularity on streaming.

With that in mind, the hype levels surrounding Charlie Cox‘s canonical debut as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home have only increased since the movie landed in December, especially when the actor admitted that the next decade of his life could be spent playing in Kevin Feige’s sandbox.

We can safely assume that we’ll be seeing plenty of Farrell’s handsome visage buried under a mountain of prosthetics for years to come after the character was announced for an HBO Max spinoff series, and while he may end up twirling an umbrella in The Batman, we won’t be seeing Penguin’s signature cigarette holder after Warner Bros. stepped in to shut it down, as the actor revealed to Jake’s Takes.

Rodriguez has hardly been shy in admitting that he’s hoping to use his Star Wars cache as a means to leverage another slice of blockbuster sci-fi into existence, and it would be an understatement to say he’s got plenty of backing.

The tenth and eleventh installments in the blockbuster franchise are shooting back-to-back to tie off the story of Dominic Toretto and his crew’s preposterous string of globetrotting escapades, and the gang will have been living life a quarter mile at a time for 23 years by the time the grand finale hits theaters in 2024.

It must have been a daunting task for writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers to sit down and hammer out the screenplay for the project that eventually became Spider-Man: No Way Home, knowing full well they were facing a multiversal minefield.

Not only did the duo have to incorporate Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parkers into the mix, but there was also the small matter of five multiversal villains to contend with, never mind the direct continuation of Far From Home‘s cliffhanger ending, or the need to round out Tom Holland’s solo trilogy in narratively satisfying fashion.

There’s something blatantly cynical about a prequel being made well over a decade after the original, a telltale sign of a studio looking to continue mining a valuable property without having to recast or reboot.

However, Brett Ratner’s Red Dragon surprised a lot of people when it arrived in October 2002, where it quickly gained a reputation as the second best-reviewed outing for Thomas Harris’ iconic literary cannibal. Sure, some fans will prefer Michael Mann’s Manhunter or Ridley Scott’s Hannibal, but we can all agree it’s miles in front of Hannibal Rising.
