James Gunnwill “for sure” work withMargot Robbieagain in the DC Universe.
When a fan asked Gunn, 56, on Twitter Saturday, “WILL YOU WORK WITH MARGOT ROBBIE AGAIN?” the director responded, “For sure.”
In a July 2021 interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Gunn said that Robbie is “probablymy favorite actorI’ve ever worked with.
“What’s so great about Margot is that she’s just so good on so many different fronts. She’s a fantastic actor, she’s a fantastic comedian, and she’s a fantastic athlete,” he continued, adding, “I just love working with her. She’s a great person, who doesn’t have an ego.”

The feelings are mutual, asRobbie expressed her admiration for Gunnin an August 2021 interview with The Koalition. She called Gunn a “visionary director” and said “his humor is just so bizarre,” adding that it is “incredibly weird and specific.”
Gunn’s recent interaction was threaded below verified Twitter user’sJose Haley’s tweet: “I just realized @JamesGunn worked with two wrestlers who are both incredible actors,” referring toJohn CenaandDave Bautista.
The director responded to the tweet, “Yep.Two of the best actors(and human beings) I’ve worked with.”
Along with Robbie, Gunn worked with Cena, 45, inThe Suicide Squadand the HBO spinoff seriesPeacemaker. He has also directed Bautista in theGuardians of the Galaxyfranchise.
This isn’t the first time Gunn has answered fan questions on Twitter, as he did so last August when he re-echoed his sentiments about Cena.
“John Cena is among the best people to work with — always prepared & on time & kind to everyone,” herespondedto a Twitter user’s guess that the WWE star is “on time.” “He & many of my regulars are among the actors I die to work with. I want to shout out to them here but paucity of characters means I’d be leaving many out.”

At the time, he wasanswering a fan’s questionabout how he would respond to an actor who “isn’t working out.”
“If it’s their temperament & it’s serious, I’ll immediately recast,” Gunntweeted. “Life’s too short for a——-. Same if they’re repeatedly very late, which I hate, or unprepared. I have a long list of actors, A-list & otherwise, I’ll never work with for these reasons…”
In a subsequent tweet, Gunn continued, “But if it’s performance related, & they’re putting their all into it, I’ll do everything on my end to make it work until it’s absolutely clear the quality of the project will be perceivably harmed if we don’t recast. This can happen with really talented actors who just don’t fit.”
On the topic, another personasked Gunnhow he discovers that some actors are “a——-,” to which the director responded, “I always do due diligence on actors & production heads with directors, actors, producers & crew members I trust. "
“If it checks out they’re jerks (not just cranky or curmudgeons but actual jerks) or irresponsible I don’t hire them,” he continued. “Some actors I already know never to even consider.”
