Fantastic news! His removal from the project in the first place was bullshit. He's proven that he's matured a lot since those tweets.

Not to mention that not only were the tweets really, genuinely just jokes, but there was no was way in hell that people like Alan Horn didn't already know about his bad-taste past. James Gunn used to be known specifically for stuff like Slither, Super and the PG Porn videos. Lots of people were stunned when Disney hired him in the first place.

I think the Fox merger was a big part of this too. Disney was in zero controversy mode for the past year - now that it's all but finished they've got no reason not to bring him back on.

IMO. Gunn shouldn't have gone back.


Disney's response did more to damage his reputation then any random Twitter asshole

WELCOME BACK, JAMES GUNN!!!!

This shouldn't have been a problem to begin with, but I'm glad he's back.

I never would have guessed. I honestly thought Disney was too stubborn to reverse course.

Good on them.

Good, he posted some distasteful stuff but it was clearly a bad faith attack that brought attention to his posts. We shouldn't be rewarding those kinds of campaigns.

When the controversy first came out, I was okay with him getting fired. I did, in fact, think the tweets were pretty disgusting.

However, I've changed my tune a bit and realized that he apologized multiple times in the past--he changed. And that's what is important. Happy he's back on for 3 (even if I really, really hated 2).

He posted that stuff and apologized for it BEFORE Disney/Marvel hired him on for Guardians 1. It was ridiculous that all of a sudden Disney fired him after he had already made amends.

No wonder the people behind the scenes, like Sean Gunn, were so positive about Guardians 3 in recent weeks.

1) This has earned a lot of brownie points for Disney in my eyes, which is largely why they did it.

2) This is gonna piss off so many fucktards and I LOVE IT.

Good for him. Don't let the alt-right shitbags win. Stupid fucking decision of Disney in the first place though. Now GotG3 is probably goi g yo be about 3 years later than it should have been.

The best news. I'm glad it worked out for Gunn and this is the best thing for the Gotg series and cast.
