What people are saying
I also think there's a lot more depth to him than you might have seen. I think there's more that he can do that people haven't seen.
We discussed a few possibilities, but nothing has come to fruition at this stage. I think he's great.
James Gunn and I have talked a lot. I have enormous respect for James. I would love to work with him. He would also like to do something with me, but my criteria for accepting an offer are very strict.
