James Gunn isn't shy about allowing his fans to be included in his creative process and it has made him one of the more successful and beloved filmmakers out there. This time around, as a new day dawned over at the freshly named DC Studios, its co-CEO took to Twitter to elaborate on his decision to cast his former Marvel associates for roles in his newly imagined DC Universe.
The creative director of DC Studios tweeted his response to a fan that pleaded with him to "not encourage" the Guardians of the Galaxy cast to follow him to the DCU. The user was rightfully hopeful that Gunn would find "fresh actors" to build up brilliant new characters, ones that would entrench themselves into the audience's memories in their own unique way.
Like the fan requested "Rebirth, not reuse. Please."
It appears that Gunn didn't take kindly to the questioning of his methods, responding by saying the DCU's cast will include "brand new faces" that he has never worked with as well as some actors he is familiar with. This is mainly attributed to the hundreds of roles that would require a fresh cast in the DC reboot. He would end his response by saying his main motive behind the entire process is to find "actors that fit the role & they're easy to work with."
