“I have to say this has got to be the craziest hashtag ever since 1) Netflix hasn’t expressed any interest (although we’ve talked about other things) and 2) Zack hasn’t expressed any interest and seems to be happy doing whatever is doing (and, yes, we have also spoken)”, answered Gunn.

Another user asked him what he and Snyder were talking about when their chat took place, and Gunn shared that his talk was positive and that Zack Snyder seems happy with what he is working on these days.

“He contacted me to express his support for my decisions,” Gunn wrote. “He’s a great guy. Again, he seems genuinely happy with the massive world building he’s doing now.”
