In a recent interview with SFX Magazine, Gunn, 55, said superhero movies had become "mostly boring" to him. He made the comment while speaking about how he plans to make his superhero films stand out.
"They're mostly boring to me right now!" Gunn said, via gamesradar. "I loved them at the beginning and there are still people trying to do different things [with them], so it's not a 100% rule, but a lot of them are boring. So I think it's about bringing in other elements from different genres."
