Look at <strong>DC Studios<\/strong> co-CEO <strong>James Gunn\u2019s<\/strong> Twitter feed and also you see, it doesn&#8217;t matter what he shares, he\u2019s inundated with tons and tons of followers asking him about rumors, asking him about future plans, and a few wishing he\u2019d be fired or worse as a result of he someway ruined their lives by making superhero movies they don\u2019t get pleasure from.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Often, superhero movie followers may be fantastic, enthusiastic cheerleaders. But there\u2019s that darkish aspect to the fandom the place there are dying threats, racism, homophobia, and numerous different disturbing conditions that somebody like <strong>Todd Field<\/strong> or <strong>Celine Sciamma<\/strong> sometimes don\u2019t need to take care of. Some filmmakers, notably folks like <strong>Zack Snyder<\/strong> and the aforementioned Gunn, appear to thrive on this tradition. Others, like Sandberg, clearly aren\u2019t interested by being a part of it.<\/p>\n<p>As a fan of horror and superhero movies, I\u2019m excited that Sandberg goes again to the style that bought him his begin. Films like \u201c<strong>Annabelle: Creation<\/strong>\u201d and \u201c<strong>Lights Out<\/strong>\u201d are enjoyable films, and it\u2019ll be nice to see what he has up his sleeve subsequent.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As I\u2019ve been saying for some time now I\u2019m very keen to return to horror (in addition to attempting some new issues).
