Yeah well some of us don't miss his deranged and immensely annoying, thread-derailing antics.

 

[Heckler456]

Awesome.

Gunn literally hasn't tweeted since the day the shit went down, I hope he comes back to Twitter.

He's been liking tweets tho

He is watching

 

[overcast]

Disney solving the problem they made. Good move in all honesty. Nice to see Gunn getting a chance to finish his series.

 

[Chumunga64]

I figured it was gonna happen once they mentioned they were gonna keep the same script

conspriacy theory- he never really left

He stopped posting, but he "like" a bunch of twitter posts for the past few months.

 

[Sax]

Holy shit! Yesssss!

 

[GulAtiCa]

Yes! And now we can all lick those salty tears off those fuck boys who are likely to be very salty

 

[Japanmanx3]

YES!!!!!!

 

[Slime]

I wonder if this has anything to do with Disney execs finally seeing through the bad faith bullshit being thrown at Captain Marvel and Star Wars and the like.

 

[DMVfan123]

 

[fallengorn]

Kinda had an inkling that this was going to happen. Especially when they basically put a hold on production for it.

 

[BuryAllen]

glad that these guys supported him

 

[Chitown B]

Good. This was the only outcome.

 

[hitme]

Disney can't lose the biggest star they have..

Spoiler

 

[Ryan.]

I remember reading that the firing decision came from Bob Iger himself, and that he thought people would give him kudos for doing it. Was that ever debunked?

It wasn't Iger, but I believe Horn. The rumor was that he was hoping to get the same reaction and praise that Iger got for firing Roseanne.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Hell yeah!

Kind of hope he doesn't

Honestly he is totally within his right to not touch Twitter with a 10 foot pole and to fuck off the MCU after GoTG3 after what happened. He probably wants to finish his passion project on his own terms and just bail out.

With that said I can see him staying on both for the sake of his fans and probably for all the support behind the scenes.

 

[Strafer]

I'm so happy for Gunn, he now gets to play in two sandboxes.

 

[Gala]

Good!

 

[Surfinn]

Production was pushed to 2021. And according to the article, they won't start until Gunn settles Suicide Squad.

Click to shrink...

Oh wow. That's good news!

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Awesome news. About time Disney did the right thing.

 

[Star-Lord]

So is suicide squad 2 happening then guardians 3 after? Also what does this mean?! Is he working on the cosmetic marvel side after guardians 3 or is he now working with DC properties after? So many questions!

 

[janusff]

whoa for real?

GOOD

 

[blast0rama]

Hell yeah. Just, hell yeah.

 

[Humidex]

Well well well. Good move.

Great decision!

if this is true

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[DJ_Lae]

Haha, holy fucking shit.

Waiting just long enough for it to kind of blow over and people to focus on other, newer, more sordid scandals was probably a good move.

 

[Giolon]

Finally, some justice.

His firing had really dampened my enthusiasm for the MCU, basically quitting anything but the final Avengers movie more out of feeling obligated to finish rather than any excitement. Maybe I'll go see Captain Marvel now.

 

[AaronD]

Ehh. I love the first movie, but the second is borderline unwatchable. It's like chunks of various movies crammed together to form a bloated mass containing a few good scenes. Fresh blood might not have been bad, even if Gunn was unjustly fired.

 

[HibbySloth]

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.

Click to shrink...

Honestly? I could see it. The last thing Disney wanted was controversy getting in the way of their 75 billion dollar deal.

 

[Fisty]

They probably had trouble finding a replacement. Glad for Gunn and crew, the whole debacle was straight up bullshit

 

[Maolfunction]

Hope he came back and demanded more money for the bullshit Disney pulled.

Get fucked, Mike Cernovich.

 

[Neoxon]

FEIGE YOU CRAZY SWEET SON OF A BITCH THANK YOU!!!!!

Feige, Gunn, we don't deserve either of you.

 

[Deleted member 13015]

MOVIE IS SAVED.

 

[chandoog]

Fantastic news.

But does that mean Gunn will be directing competing DC and Marvel movies around the same time frame ? (Suicide Squad 2 and this)

 

[Nelo Ice]

Fuck yes!. And that means Batista will still be Drax.

 

[Armaros]

How fat of a bonus paycheck did he have to get.

After dragging their ass about this for months.

 

[jayu26]

I hope Disney ended up giving him and Bautista double pay for all this nonsense.

 

[iksenpets]

I guess working this out is why they got so quiet on this for a while. I imagine the movie isn't that heavily connected with any other overarching plotlines they'll have going that they can't delay it a few slots in the release calendar to wait for Suicide Squad to finish.

 

[Sinder]

A lot of people on here have a lot of crow to be eating right now.

You know who you are. Come forward please.

[intheflorsh]

I agree

Pot hates Kettle, news at 11.

 

[DeathPeak]

Announcing it now isn't a surprise either. Positive Cap Marvel reception. Buzz about Endgame. Now giving most fans what they wanted. Good PR move going into Endgame.

 

[Deleted member 3093]

Not surprised, but pleased nonetheless. I think they realized that Guardians is too big an IP to cancel, and if they went ahead without Gunn (and possibly Bautista/Sean) it'd have a big stink tied to it.

He wanted brownie points and didn't get them. Fucking moron.
