Guardians of the Galaxy James Gunn back to direct

[daddydivine]

What I really can't wait for is his return to social media...I miss him, just stay away from the political weirdos

I think he should stay off of twitter for a good while. This generation makes a huge fuss when they want to but have very short attention spans if they don't see it on social media.

Agreed. I think GotG3 may even be the introduction of the Silver Surfer potentially. I think the Surfer is going to be one of the first FOX guys, given Adam McKay's very publicly noted interest.

The fact that they're not filming currently might end up being a blessing in disguise. I think Gunn and Feige have both said how much they're fans of the character, so I wouldn't be shocked

So ****ing happy they did the right thing here and brought him back. This made my day

 

[Brother Jack]

It was probably the plan all along, since they never looked for anyone else.

In hindsight them using his script was a sign. But I still would never have guessed they'd actually get him back to direct. Forgiveness is a beautiful thing.

 

[Pink Ranger]

All the lobbying by Dave Bautista worked!

 

[rashad]

Now, what happens post-GOTG 3 is anyone's guess. Because technically he's just a hired director for that particular film. It doesn't necessarily mean he'll be back in the MCU fold afterwards. He might enjoy playing in the DC sandbox after SS2. Who knows. lol At any rate this was a no brainer by Disney and Marvel to rehire let the man shoot his script. Less tension with the cast and PR from the fans.

 

[Boom]

This was the right call. Granted, he never should have been fired in the first place, but good of Disney to reverse the decision.

WHAAAAAAAAAT

Two awesome Marvel days in a row!
hallelujah

 

[Symbiotic]

Thank God, thank God, thank God. They should have never removed him off the project in the first place.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

YEEEEEESSSS, The Feels!

Gunn handled all of this perfectly. He immediately took responsibility for himself and never blamed Disney. If he had lashed out against them or played the victim in any way this would have never happened.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Seriously, this news has brought me back on board for this movie. My interest when he was fired was low. To the point where I was dreading this movie coming at all. I love the first 2 movies. I adore these characters and I felt like losing Gunn was going to hurt this movie bad. His DNA is all over those movies, and I am grateful he is coming back to finish this trilogy out.

 

[Dark Raven]

So what are the chances of Rocket Raccoon singing a song alongside Lady Gaga in this?

Although it should really have been in the last film when we found out Quill's parentage. It could've been A StarLord is Born.

WHAAAAAAAAAT

What happened yesterday?

Yeah I still fear Drax is a dead man cuz of all Bautista's "F** Disney"s

 

[Web-Head]

I think Bautista will be back now too

 

[Pink Ranger]

Bautista will do just fine, regardless. He's now the designated "big scary guy" for any movie now: he's been in James Bond, MCU, now Dune. I have this mental picture of him holding Bob Iger outside a 20-story window by his ankles until Gunn was reinstated.

[Flint Marko]

Lmaooooooo.

I hate that Guardians 3 was delayed but this kinda worked out for comic book fans. Now we get two guaranteed awesome movies from James Gunn with both a Marvel and DC logo in front of em.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

Interesting that he supposedly has met with Alan Horn several times throughout this process, this has been in the works for quite some time

 

[Dark Raven]

And to that I reply

What happened yesterday?

If you're talking about the Disney Fox closing date that wasn't yesterday.
