James Gunn might be the co-CEO of DC Studios now, but he also helmed all three Guardians of the Galaxy movies in the MCU.
Naturally, that means he’s the authority on all things Guardians, a position he says he used to safeguard Rocket Raccoon in particular.
“I was like this when I worked at Marvel,” Gunn said on the DC Studios Showcase Official Podcast, discussing character continuity from one project to the next. “I would get scripts with Rocket in them that didn’t match how I understood [the character] – that character was my soul. So I would always make sure that his voice always made sense, that what he did always made sense. And I do that with the characters in DC across all the films and television shows. They’ve got to be true to the character, especially if it’s a character that I originated on film.”
