According to the DCU head, the film will still be "successful" even if it doesn't hit the "$700 million" mark.

The filmmaker said the David Corenswet-led film also comes at a "particular time when people are feeling a loss of hope in other people’s goodness."

Per reports, the budget for Gunn's film is over $200 million. That's why it is expected to earn over $700 million to be commercially successful. Some people emphasized its relevance to the studio's future slate. However, Gunn seemingly refuted these claims and highlighted that it's not a do-or-die situation that some people are making it out to be.
