James Francis Gunn Jr. (born August 5, 1966) is an American filmmaker. He began his career as a screenwriter in the mid-1990s, starting at Troma Entertainment with Tromeo and Juliet (1996). He then began working as a director, starting with the horror-comedy film Slither (2006), and moving to the superhero genre with Super (2010), Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), The Suicide Squad (2021), and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023). In 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery hired Gunn and his longtime producer, Peter Safran, to serve as co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios. Under DC Studios, Gunn co-produced and executive produced every film and television series in the DC Universe (DCU) media franchise alongside Safran, which serves as a soft reboot of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). In the DCU, he created the series Creature Commandos (2024) and wrote and directed the film Superman (2025). He also wrote and directed the web series James Gunn's PG Porn (2008–2009), the HBO Max original series Peacemaker (2022–2025) and the Disney+ original special The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022). Other work for which he is known include writing for the 2004 remake of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978), writing the live-action adaptation of Scooby Doo (2002), and its sequel Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), writing and producing the horror-action film The Belko Experiment (2016), producing the superhero-horror film Brightburn (2019), and contributing to comedy-anthology film Movie 43 (2013) (directing the segment "Beezel") and the 2012 hack-and-slash video game Lollipop Chainsaw.

for Producer in the Metal Men (DCU Movie)
Suggested by megalosaurusstudios
After many years in stasis, the Metal Men, the magnificent creations of the late Dr. Will Magnus, are rediscovered and reactivated by his son, Will Magnus Jr., who had recently acquired his father’s old facility and assets. Now the Metal Men, with the help of Will Magnus Jr., must adjust to the modern world, while having to stop the villainous and monstrous artificial intelligence, Grid. I just thought this would be fun to make, a hypothetical Metal Men movie set in the DCU. And the Metal Men are teased in episode 3 of Creature Commandos, and Will Magnus showing up in that same episode. I did add some extra details such as Will Magnus having passed away by the time of the present day and his son (who I made up for this story) taking possession of his laboratory and inventions. And also making Grid the main villain of this story as a callback to the forever evil storyline, and doing something similar to what they did with Ultraman in the 2025 Superman film. Also Grid is supposed to be a blatant anti-A.I allegory, if that makes sense.
