During his recent conversation on the ReelBlend podcast, James Gunn said, "I would really be happy to do a Harley Quinn and Groot movie. Not only have I thought about that, but I have actually talked about that to the heads of both Marvel and DC". He added, "It’s like everybody’s open to everything, but whether anything would ever happen, who knows?". "But the idea of being able to bring Marvel and DC together in a movie, that would be really fun for me", Gunn concluded. 

Recently, Gunn also took to his official Twitter handle and clarified that he did have an idea but he never "discussed it" with the DC heads. He wrote, "This quote is a little out-of-context (it’s missing the sentence before). What I said was I talked to the heads of Marvel & DC about a Marvel-DC crossover film, not a Harley & Groot film". He added, "I maybe mentioned Harley-Groot to Kevin Feige in passing, but I never mentioned it to DC". 

James Gunn has helmed MCU's Guardians Of The Galaxy and is currently gearing up for its Volume 3 now. Gunn has also directed DC's The Suicide Squad that is awaiting its official release now. The Suicide Squad will be hitting Indian cinemas in selected cities on August 5, 2021. The superhero action-adventure flick features Margot Robbie, Idris Alba, John Cena, Sylvester Stallone and Viola Davis among others. 

Warner Bros. Pictures are bringing their magic back on the silver screen with three films. The studios' second film, Mortal Kombat will be re-releasing in select cities on July 30, 2021. While it's The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Devil Do It will be releasing on August 13, 2021.
