    It’s gonna be a pain for the studio, but I’m glad they made the right call quickly here, instead of trying to just ignore it away like DC and Ezra Miller.

      I don’t know how DC and WB got away with that. It hurts their reputation in long term.

        The movie was already filmed and deep in post-production, and Ezra hadn’t been convicted. As simple as that.

        Ezra must have some serious dirty on some executives in WB… Plus him being part of a marginalize group.

      They really had to. They quickly fired Gunn after media reported on old, edgy jokes. You have to fire someone after a guilty assault verdict if that’s your threshold.
