It doesn't necessarily mean one thing or the other I think. I guess we'll see if the shorts contradict anything, but I'm not expecting them to connect much to the wider MCU at all.Once again, I'm seeing a ton of articles about how this means it's not in the MCU. James Gunn doesn't get to decide if something is canon or not. He's clear that it has nothing to do with what he's doing (and he likely has no input on it), but that doesn't mean it isn't part of the MCU canon.
