How does it feel to be both a filmmaker and a studio head at the same time?

I don’t think it’s ever really been done. Even Walt Disney was more of a producer than a director. It’s an experiment. And yes, sometimes it probably sounds like madness — especially since I don’t make the most conventional films. But I love big spectacle. That’s my jam. I originally said no to the job. I didn’t want to do what Kevin Feige does. But once Peter and I realized we’d be doing it together, it became exciting. I still don’t know if it’s sustainable long-term. It’s a lot. There just aren’t enough hours in the day.

This, the DCU, is a passion project for Gunn. The same could have been said for Snyder. I enjoyed what Snyder did with the DCEU, it has problems sure, but it was generally a good go. But like Snyder a meddling studio can cause problems. Gunn wants to make films. He's going to try. But the studio, specifically the heads above DC Studios, can fuck this up for everyone. Maybe Gunn fucks it up regardless, it's possible, but realistically as he said, there just aren't enough hours in the day. He can deal with bullshit or he can direct films. Dealing with both would be a challenge.
