James Gunn has an answer to the question of “who tf asked for a Clayface movie,” posed by a user on the DC Studios head’s Threads account earlier this week.

“Who tf asked for Back to the Future? Casablanca? There’s Something About Mary? Pan’s Labyrinth? Fury Road? Weapons? The Matrix?” Gunn fired back on the platform. (The user’s original comment has since been deleted.) “Although it may seem like it, Hollywood isn’t a place where the only way to make a movie is the public voting on what IP they want to see that they’ve seen countless times before.”
