What movies has James Gunn directed?
Gunn’s first foray into directing superhero films came in 2010, when he wrote and directed the film Super, starring his ex-wife Jenna Fischer’s co-star Rainn Wilson in the lead role.
The film attracted the commitment of a strong cast with Kevin Bacon, Elliot Page and Linda Cardellini but the project was far from the sweeping, otherworldly success Gunn would come to have.
Guardians of the Galaxy spring-boarded his career in 2014, with a box office smash and the on-screen birth of characters that fans would see more of in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Between the first and second Guardians films, he wrote The Belko Experiment, a harrowing and violent captivity story.
Gunn was also the mind behind the R-rated soft-reboot of the Suicide Squad franchise.
David Ayer’s original Suicide Squad underwhelmed fans and critics, earning just a 26% on Rotten Tomatos’ Tomatometer.
Gunn took over the franchise, but, according to Variety, his sequel film crash landed as it was released in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously, crippling ticket sales.
Gunn was contentiously booted from the director’s chair for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 after old, distasteful tweets were drummed up.
Gunn was later reinstated and will direct the trilogy’s final film.
Who is Sean Gunn?
Gunn has turned some of his movies into a family affair - his brother Sean plays two roles in the Guardians franchise.
Sean’s speaking role is as Kraglin, a supporting character to Chris Pratt's Peter Quill, and he also performs the motion capture for Bradley Cooper's CGI character Rocket Raccoon.

Sean has not exclusively worked with his brother, but his filmography is loaded with roles in projects that James either wrote and/or directed.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3, the work of both Gunn brothers, is slated for a May 2023 release.
