James Gunn Says ‘Get Off Matt’s Nuts,’ ‘The Batman’ Sequel Will Happen When It Happens
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, DC Studios head James Gunn expressed his frustration with fans demanding updates on the highly anticipated sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman. In a colorful tone, Gunn urged fans to “get off Matt’s nuts” and let the writer-director work on the script at his own pace.
Gunn emphasized that he and DC Studios understand the immense excitement surrounding the sequel, but insisted that it will be released when Matt Reeves feels good about the screenplay. The director has been working diligently on the project, and Gunn is eager to get started once Reeves is satisfied with the story.
“I am irritated by people,” Gunn admitted in his interview. “I mean, it’s just that thing people don’t need to be entitled about. It’s going to come out when he feels good about the screenplay. And Matt’s not going to give me the screenplay until he feels good about the screenplay.”
Gunn also shared his own struggles with fan pressure and constant misinformation spreading through social media. He has taken to “kind of quitting” Twitter due to the overwhelming backlash, stating that it can be disheartening to constantly debunk false stories.
“I’ve kind of quit because it just happens so often,” Gunn explained. “There are a couple of people, specifically, who have pretty large followings who just consistently put out false stories, just one after the other after the other, 95% of the time. Maybe once out of every 20 times they say something that has some slight or partial basis in reality. And it gets to be old.”
Gunn’s comments are a stark reminder of the high expectations and scrutiny that come with working on such a highly anticipated sequel. As fans eagerly await any updates, Gunn is adamant that The Batman II will arrive when Reeves is satisfied with his work.
It remains unclear if Matt Reeves has even completed the screenplay or if James Gunn can provide more information about the project’s status.
