Disney brings back James Gunn for Guardians of the Galaxy 3
- Thread starter Strafer
- Start date
I wonder how much they will tweak the script once the Fox characters come back in. Even an offhand mention of the Shi'ar or Silver Surfer's destroyed home planet.
This also leaves open the door for him to direct Thunderbolts. Thank god.

You're right. Admitting you've made a mistake and correcting is a pointless endeavor that only shows weakness--Weird how this sarcastic sentences applies to Gunn and Disney now.
I mean if today is the day where we're getting fan wishes granted can I just get an r-rated Dark Avengers movie from him?
The only suicide watch they should be doing is watching The Suicide Squad, written and directed by James Gunn, in theaters 2020.
I'm sorry, but until you reveal some of those past mistakes I can't tar and feather you as a terrible person and out you to your employer, omitting all the years of your life since.
Have you ever said a racist, sexist, homophobic, or small minded thing that you would never utter today? I'm going to need to know all about that stuff so I can berate you for it.
It would also help if you would insult a politician I like, so I have a good motive to get revenge. Um, I mean, the do the public a service by revealing your true self (from the past).
He said himself he wanted to do Thunderbolts. Disney should give him that.
Lmao
I do wonder what prompted Disney to do this, though. Or maybe they'd already planned to hire him back once the "scandal" blew over?
They've even gone out of their way lately to keep a handful of their villains alive after their films if they wanted some returning characters. Homecoming, Civil War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, etc.
So I'm going to guess you have no actual argument and just want to feign outrage for no real reason.
I mean didn't Bautista literally say he would not be returning unless they got him back?
Maybe things escalated behind the scenes?
I suspect his pitch might've been turned into Suicide Squad 2 given the similarity in the premise.
I had a feeling this would happen. Being fired for making jokes in poor taste years ago was a silly reason to let go of a creative type, and Disney was rightly criticized for it. If they didn't set things right it would have possibly dissuaded others from working with them in the future (as well as being the company that fired a beloved director at the behest of alt-right trolls and those prone to be outraged by everything).
Against dumb replies ? No i dony have arguments. You're right.
It was about whether they used his script or not if I'm remembering right. But obviously this is the outcome he wanted most of all.
Interesting but the helmet is Nova's signature I do wonder what they plan to do with him
Replacing him was always a doomed endeavor. No other MCU property is intrinsically linked to its director the way GOTG is to Gunn, they're his passion project and it shows, in the tone, style, humour, etc. Others like Thor had different directors, writers (and a wildly different take in its third film), Cap was reinvented in his second film and kind of taken ownership of by the Russos (though Markus/McFeely wrote his whole trilogy), and so on. If you dropped Peyton Reed from an Ant-Man 3, that wouldn't really be a problem even though he did a good job and all with the first two. Other directors leave their stamps on their MCU but GOTG was different. Especially Vol. 2, that film clearly had so much of Gunn's personal passion poured into it.
A third film with another director, trying probably to imitate Gunn's style, would be doomed from the beginning and everyone knew it. Even if they went ahead with it, they'd go through the motions knowing this won't be the complete trilogy it was shaping up to be and would inevitably be mixed in reception. It's not like Thor where you could lurch off into a brand new take in the third film either, after the first two were meddling and lacking a spark.
In short I imagine they always wanted to keep him, or bring him back later if the whole thing blew over enough.
It's been delayed so Gunn can work on Suicide Squad 2. Once that's done, he'll do Vol. 3.
Its original schedule would have had it be filming right this moment, for a 2020 release. It's likely 2022-2023 now, because Gunn is busy on The Suicide Squad until 2021.
Where is the correct place for someone to be who made a mistake, owned up to it and apologized and then produced work that showed he had learned from it? Where should those people be? On which island would you exile them?
Away from this movie that a lot of kids will watch. Thats his place.
You're aware that, to wit, he's not putting rape jokes into the movie, right?
There is actually a prison rape joke in the first film directed at Quill.
Anyway, happy Gunn is back and will be able to complete his trilogy. This is really good news as far as I'm concerned.
The punishment for inappropriate tweets is making only R rated movies?
I wonder if Rocket will pick up a Switch for Groot while he's on Earth for when the whole thing's over with Endgame.
Only the most pure of hearts are allowed to make Marvel movies.
Hah. This is like watching a train wreck but the conductor is too full of himself to stop the train
Not being pedophile its enough.
You and me both knows that wasnt my point. Stop defending this piece of shit only because you liked his movies.
