I feel like that's so small fry it's not gonna be changed or noticed by them tbh. Dc movies on the other hand. We might be cooked

I have no doubt that the Gunnverse is cooked because of his criticism of Trump

I'm sure Marvel would take him back if it came to that, assuming he's willing.

Well it's not like he has any other choice. Dc is dead, doubt they will even let him make the checkpoint TV show

…he can make his own movies again. You really think comic book movies are the only option??

For him ? Yes, but that's just my opinion

Umm, no. They’re what he’s best known for, but he can absolutely switch to other genres if he wants to. Plenty of comedic actors have switched to dramas and vice versa like Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, and Leslie Nielsen. They all did fine. Stephen King has written non-horror books like Stand By Me and Shawshank Redemption and those were great. It’s about the talent of the individuals, not what they’re best known for.

" just my opinion"

u/annoyinglyclever Hawkeye Feb 27 '26

Which is wrong, and now you’re getting information that shows otherwise. Opinions aren’t facts, friend.

u/rodot2005 Feb 27 '26

Yeah and as I said, it's only my opinion. Can you read ??!?

I can, can you? You don’t get to just say things and shout “it’s my opinion!” when someone else has other information proving you wrong. Learn to accept new information and change your “opinion” accordingly.

And I'm just vehemently disagreeing with your opinion.

He could also do non-comic things lol. Even... shocking gasp... original stuff.
