Sean Gunn: Disney still wants to make Guardians of the Galaxy 3, use James Gunn’s script
- Thread starter Richiek
- Start date
Fuck Bob Iger the billionaire coward.
Edit: just looked it up his "net worth" is only listed at 100 million. It all makes sense now, can't risk losing his job and end up on the street.

Good, having to find a new director is no reason to abandon this.
I'm actually super interested in where this movie goes now.

Yes, only because they should be going back to Nicole Perlman
I'm thinking the Marvel camp is just waiting for Alan Horn to retire, then they'll re-hire Gunn. It's just a war of attrition at this point if Horn is retiring by the end of the fiscal year.

That's non-sense. That's what she said:
Source: https://www.scriptmag.com/features/interviews-features/nicole-perlman-guardians-of-the-galaxy
Claiming that the major set pieces and core story are the same, when these characters are based of another medium and other screenwriters have done the same without getting the kind of name recognition that Perlman has is bs. Yes, she did a great job with Vol. 1, got credited and Gunn elevated the material. The songs, the weird humor, the heart? It's reportedly from Gunn, same for the eye for visuals, that got amped tenfold with Vol. 2.
I give credit to Perlman, Yost, Kyle and Pearson for Vol. 1 and Ragnarok, but those are Gunn's and Waititi's babies, and it shows.
We will have to agree, there was some eh spots in G2.
My favorite part was pretty much the flash back scene of a young Kurt Russell.
Nothing you said here really pushes me away from my stance that Nicole was a bigger influence on GOTG1 than Gunn
She was not. That's like saying that Yost and Kyle are a bigger influence on Thor: Ragnarok than Taika, when both have written the "major story points and set pieces" of both Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: The Dark World, hence, non-sense. Without Gunn's reworking of the script, Vol. 1 could be yet another The Dark World, just like Ragnarok could be yet another The Dark World without Taika.

Why? Some folks need to die in the next Avengers. Why not the GotG? The series is in total disarray. Let's start fresh.
That Walkman was so much more important than the core of the story
Pretty much the only way I see this without Gunn, is if it's taiki wahtiti with Gunn's blessing and his script
Because GoTG is a top franchise for MS, people still love the characters and fans will be even more pissed off if they killed all of them and rebooted, especially general audience members with no idea about this dumbass "scandal".
Gunn had hinted at the GoTG becoming a rotational group after 3, and they're apparently using his script no matter what, so they can have some members leave then and not nuke the whole group in A4 in some scene that'll make no sense because it was obviously changed up after the fact.

Nice argument. It's true though, the walkman - and the songs - are at the very heart of the story. It's well reported how Gunn wrote himself into Rocket and how the theme of redemption is something that he brought up.
Perlman's screenplay and work is definitely important, just like Kyle/Yost screenplays for both The Dark World and Ragnarok are. The thing is, Perlman wrote the first version of the screenplay knowing that an writer-director would come aboard to develop the project and make it his own. That's what Gunn did, just like Waititi did for Ragnarok, or Jenkins did with Heinberg's screenplay for Wonder Woman, for that matter.
Eh. They should just kill it and do a Nova or Thanos movie instead.
Or go full Annihilation once the Fox deal is done.
Not that he's doing much these days, but still.

Raimi being reduced to cinematic universe replacement choice would be sad.

Any director taking this job is going to do so feeling like such a rebound. And not a rebound off a relationship that was fairly short, but like... you were about to get married, they radically changed your life for the better, best sex you've ever had.
Yep. I agree completely. The core of the story was pretty standard sci-fi action stuff.
Frankly that's the more logical approach anyway.
GotG 3 always felt like it should be a new beginning anyway because most arcs have already been wrapped up.
It's possible if they use his script. They would have to give him credit fpr it, so it would be an easy way to have him act as a consultant behind the scenes without us ever knowing it.
That's literally all of hollywood.
There's something to that idea, especially now that we have a MCU Valkyrie that ldoesn't look like a Red Sonia reject.
Underrated post. Here's hoping that Feige is able to make these old farts come to their senses.

With all due respect, but fuck Asgardians of the Galaxy. Bring me a female team lead by Valkyrie, Infinity Watch or something. Introduce Angela already. But Gunn deserves to finish his trilogy. Asgardians of the Galaxy is such a dumb direction for something that clearly is better suited for Taika's sequel.

That's true
Starlord's and Rocket's in Vol 2, and Gamora's and Drax's in Avengers 3 and 4.
And Nebula as well, probably.
Exactly there's nothing left other than to launch a wider Cosmic MCU line.
Asgardians of the Galaxy would do that .. and give us Rocket and Thor.
And by the time this movie would even start filming, Disney will have absorbed the Fox rights which means the MCU can really go all out with Cosmic Marvel stuff, including Annihilation.
I doubt Raimi would be willing to jump back in considering his experience with Spider-Man 3 and the compromises he had to make courtesy of studio interfering with his vision of the film versus them wanting Venom to be the heavy.
Even Quill's mother's mixtapes are done with.
Still if Gunn felt the need to write another script I'm assuming it's great and I definitely wouldn't want to lose it.
Quill's mixtapes are done and he's even interacting with Earthlings again. His story is about as done as you can get.
People saying that the Guardians story is done because Quill's mother mixtapes are done and that he is back to interacting with Earthlings makes me think that what Gunn has actually envisioned for these characters completely flew over their heads.
Or Gunn isn't exactly that genius and was just going to use GOTG3 to set the stage for some post Avengers 4 cosmic Marvel stuff
Said the dude that clearly hasn't a clear grasp on what their story is about. It's not about Quill reconnecting with Earthlings or it ended because Quill's mother mixtapes ended. It's about a dysfunctional family maturing in an universe where they should have probably have become villains, but ended up as a family of scoundrels turned heroes. Gunn has clearly a plan, and I hope he is able to direct the Guardians one last time.
If you've payed attention to what myself, excelsior, and drewton have said in this thread you'd probably know what we've covered all of that stuff too. Most of the character's arcs are completed (or mostly forgotten about - see Drax) and Guardians 2 was all about them truly uniting as a family.
You're trying to be snide but if you remove the Walkman, and everything that implies in Guardians 1, you have a widely different movie with a widely different tone. There are SO many moments in that film that are made because of the soundtrack.
The Walkman is essential to both movies.
Two things.
First: Someone will almost certainly die in the next Avengers. It will likely be Steve or Tony (if not both). There doesn't need to be a large death count other than that.
Second: They already filmed Avengers 4. Doing reshoots to kill off the Guardians of the Galaxy is legitimately crazy and would be a disaster from a story and filming point of view.
