As he continues to promote Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, James Gunn decided to sit down with GQ's YouTube channel to discuss his top five favorite superhero films of all time.
At this point, James Gunn has already etched his name onto the list of greatest comic book movie directors of all time.

In the video linked above, Gunn explains what comic book movies inspired him before and after he entered the film industry.
