Disney brings back James Gunn for Guardians of the Galaxy 3
- Thread starter Strafer
- Start date
He really has nothing to do with that movie outside of producing.
If he's a piece of shit for what he did then your opinion on people is worth diddly squat.
I hope this doesn't stop him from doing future DC projects and isn't on a short Marvel leash after suicide squad.
This is such a surprise but I'm very happy about it. Not only for GOTG but it left me with such a bad impression of Disney.
I had Draxx pegged as staying dead in IW because Bautista might have been doubtful for GotG 3 because of Gunn's firing. Now I'm not so sure.
If he's not already there after the success of the first two GotG movies, he's about to be "fuck you" rich.
Weren't people calling him gross in the thread back in July? And that his jokes were offensive and everything? Now everyone is hugging him back? I don't get it.
Thankfully this guy isn't in charge of Disney or the MCU.
Do you not believe in second chances and that people can change for the better ?
Yes, a terrible person who has done more for advancing the welfare of minorities and women than you'll ever do.
There's still a hell of a lot more work to be done after filming. Gunn wouldn't be able to jump over to Guardians 3 in just a few months.
You can still do that and realize that he's changed for the better in the near decade since those tweets were made.
Depends on his contract, but since GOTG3 isn't getting made until SS2 is done, no reason he couldn't unless contractually restricted.
Good. Maybe it will actually be a good movie now. Like the first two (the first is easily one of the top Marvel movies).
Honestly, i'm pretty sure Disney did the math and realised that besides GOTG3 being a sure fire hit that will net them hundreds of millions again anyway, this move will actually make THEM look good now as well, kind of like how a just King would show mercy to one of their subjects and be lauded for that...
I'm hoping for this too. I was so excited when they talked about meeting on Twitter.
The jokes were tasteless but they were try hard shock jokes, from another time in his life. With no subsequent pattern of behaviour in the subsequent years, they date from a time that predated his films for Disney that were perfectly wholesome, carry positive messages about friendship and family and redemption, and earned the mouse over a billion dollars. Fuck the alt reich scum. Some of the people who 'outed' the jokes have said equally reprehensible things and haven't offered anything approaching apologies for their own actions, they even tried to warp the meaning of some tweets to try and slander him as an actual pedophile. Disney jumped the gun in firing him in the first place, but given their brand the reaction was more than understandable. Good on them for considering the broader circumstances and having the guts to rehire him. It'll be a better film for his involvement, he'll get to finish what he started. I know I'll certainly go to the theatre with greater confidence and I'm happy fascist shitheels have lost a scalp. I wouldn't blame him if he never gets involved with twitter and the Trumpsphere ever again though.
Providing this is true, I'm happy for him, happy for the cast and I can't wait for the film. The first film was my first date with my girlfriend and the gotg films have moved me much more than some of the other cape films have. There's heart in them and I hope the third has even more.
I never felt that mistakes made on the internet should condemn people professionally for life, but of course intent, character and a sense of remorse or regret are things that matter. That's what separates the likes of Gunn from Roseanne Barr. Some people are obnoxious or stupid on the internet from a place of stubborn, unapologetic hatred.

That's not wrong. I had some dates out of sorts in my head a bit.
I still think November 2021 is possible but May 2022 is more likely I suppose. Definitely not 2023.
That's not that far, but that's only IF SS starts this year, and with Batman confirmed to start this year I don't see it
Good for him. I don't really care for the movies, but I thought it was some bullshit when they fired him.
So the crazy/ironic thing is that the people who outed him (his ancient transgressions) got him multiple high profile gigs, instead of just in one. They doubled his influence! Four Gunns!
