Disney brings back James Gunn for Guardians of the Galaxy 3
- Thread starter Strafer
- Start date
After they didn't rehire him during the initial window to do so, I definitely wasn't expecting this. Good on them for seeing reason.
Now more than ever, alt-right trolls have to be put in their place.

Interesting development, I was thinking Gunn was never gonna look back at Disney for their terrible management of this situation.
It sounds like production on the movie is halted until Gunn is done with Suicide Squad 2. Which really compounds how much of a dumb move to fire him to begin with.
The article suggests that's a big reason they brought him back. It would have been really easy to play the victim but he had the good sense not to.
Admit fault, show understanding of why your actions were wrong, show how you've changed and why you'll no longer behave that way, and accept the consequences without complaining.
Absolutely.
He had the perfect chance to double down, blame outrage culture, call "witch hunt!", saying "it was just jokes lulz!" - and the worst "sorry if anyone felt offended". He owned it, clearly stated that these 'jokes' were unfunny and hateful, indefensible.
Like, Kevin Hart's not gonna host next year's Oscars, still - because he went exactly the other way.
When books are written about Marvel Studios in a couple decades, I can't wait to read the chapter about how hard Feige, the cast and others defended Gunn and pushed for him.
In my opinion, I feel that they knew the backlash they would face if another director used Gunn's script to direct the film. Disney had no intention of doing re-writes and maybe they were secretly having trouble getting a director to take on the role. I mean, it's the third film in an established franchise where every character and even the director were well-loved by many. Outside of Gunn, the film was an albatross necklace.
Yup, Gunn handled this entire thing in the most classy way possible I think
Yeah, I hear you. It's a passion project.
I remember after he finished the script of Guardians 3 he said something like "My one and only."
Batista just barricaded everyone in an office and yelled GIVE ME WHAT I WANT until they gave up
Seriously can barely believe he's coming back. Sweet raptor Jesus!
OT, but what's the origin of this gif? Why are there so many children going nuts?
Given what some people behind the scenes were saying publicly, I'd be very surprised if they haven't known for some time and just couldn't say anything yet.
Not just because of that but because he had alot of others who are willing to vouch for him like Bautista. The fact he was willing to take it in stride while others fought for his reinstatement shows how much of a class act the dude has become.
Production was pushed to 2021. And according to the article, they won't start until Gunn settles Suicide Squad.
Lol, so the alt-right accidentally gave Gunn a second major franchise to spearhead in addition to keeping the reigns on his current one.
Whoopsie damn daisy.
Whoopsie damn daisy.
None of this makes sense.
I sorta love 1 and liked 2. So I'm glad he's back.
But all this did was delay their own movie two years.
What did Disney gain from this whole excercise?

I would love an oral history of the universe. It honestly wouldn't be that difficult, what with such distinct phases and having so many public figures.
